Based on Haswell-EP architecture
Intel has finally released its line of more powerful Xeon E5 line of CPUs based on the Haswell-EP architecture. Following the last year release of the Haswell-based Xeon E3 v3 CPUs, the new Xeon E5-2600 v3 series will replace the Xeon E5 v2 series based on Ivy Bridge architecture.
Intel has launched over 26 different E5-2600 v3 CPU SKUs and six different E5-1600 v3 SKUs. Intel has also decided to keep the same model numbers which should provide much easier upgrade path for many customers. For example, the new Haswell-EP based Xeon E5-2697 v3 will have the same price as the Ivy Bridge E5-2695 v2 SKU but slightly different specifications, as Intel has raised the number cores by two and thus also raised the number of threads by four. As it was the case with previous lineup, a maximum of two CPUs can be installed on a single motherboard.
As noted, Intel has raised a number of cores by two and thus the number of threads on a majority of its new Haswell-based Xeon E5 series CPUs, as well as raised the amount of cache. The new Haswell architecture also brought support for AVX 2.0 extensions, change to socket LGA 2011-3 as well as introduction of the DDR4 memory.
In addition to pretty much refreshing the whole previous Ivy Bridge-based Xeon E5 lineup, Intel has also introduced two new high-performance Xeon E5 SKUs, the 16-core, 32-threads Xeon E5-2698 v3 and the 18-core, 36-threads Xeon E5-2699 v3 SKU, priced at US $3226 and US $4115, respectively.
As it was the case with the Ivy Bridge-based Xeon E5 SKUs, Intel has spread the new Haswell-based into five different categories, high-performance with 10- to 18-cores and 35-45MB of cache, mid-range 8-cores with 15-20MB of cache, frequency optimized ranging from 4- to 10 cores and 10-20MB of cache, budget 6-core parts without Hyper Threading and 15MB of cache as well as power optimized parts 8- to 12-core parts with 20-30MB of cache and TDP of 55W and 65W. For more details you can check out the full Xeon E5 v3 lineup over at Intel's website.
The new Haswell-based Xeon E5 v3 lineup certainly brings a lot of updates to the table and with more cores, more cache, better architecture with slight increase in instructions-per-clock-cycle (IPC) as well as the same price as the Ivy Bridge-based Xeon E5 v2 lineup, these sound like a good upgrade path for enterprise market and multi-core multi-thread applications.
