Both are single-CPU Xeon E processors for the same kind of dedicated server, and the main difference is core count: the E-2356G has 6 cores and the E-2388G has 8. If you run a website, a development server or a business application with moderate CPU needs, the E-2356G is the more affordable choice and usually has all the capacity you need. If your workload can use more parallel processing, such as busier websites, several applications on one server or heavier business software, the E-2388G gives you two extra cores and is typically offered with more memory and faster network ports.
Both sit at the entry level of Intel’s server range, so if you need substantially more cores, memory or multi-CPU capability, the Xeon Silver 4000 and Xeon Gold 6000 ranges are better alternatives. RAM, storage type (HDD, SSD or NVMe) and port speed vary by listing and location, so compare the live product cards above for current specifications, stock and pricing.
eServers also provides connectivity through 15+ network providers/partners, including NTT, Zayo, Lumen, Colt and RETN.
eServers provides these single-CPU Intel Xeon E-series servers across three UK locations, with different memory, storage and network configurations. This makes it possible to choose a configuration based on workload requirements rather than paying for capacity you do not need.
The E-2388G has 8 cores and 16 threads, while the E-2356G has 6 cores and 12 threads. Both have a 3.20GHz base frequency. The E-2388G also has higher memory options in the current eServers range.
No. These are single-CPU dedicated server configurations. If you need a dual-CPU server or substantially more cores, consider the Xeon Silver 4000 or Xeon Gold 6000 ranges.
Current eServers configurations offer 16GB, 32GB and 64GB memory options, depending on the processor and server configuration.
The current range includes NVMe SSD, SATA SSD and SATA HDD configurations. Storage capacity and drive layout vary by server and location.
Network options range from 100Mbps to 10Gbps, with unmetered and high-quota configurations available depending on the server.
Yes. The E-2388G and E-2356G are suitable for websites, e-commerce, control-panel hosting and business applications, particularly when paired with NVMe storage.
eServers currently offers these servers in London, Manchester and Worcester, UK.
