The complete lineup of upcoming Intel Xeon E3-1200 v6 lineup, based on Intel's Kaby Lake architecture, has now been detailed, bringing higher clock speed and better power efficiency.

The new Xeon E3-1200 v6 series lineup will be all based on quad-core CPUs, same as the ones based on Skylake architecture, have 74W TDP, 8MB of cache and sightly higher clock speeds. The clock speed improvement ranges from 100MHz to 200MHz, depending on the model while the TDP has dropped from 80W to 74W, compared to Skylake-based Xeon CPUs.

This should translate to a performance per Watt increase of around 15 percent, which is still as a nice improvement compared that both are based on the same 14nm manufacturing process.

The flagship in the lineup is the Xeon E3-1280 v6, clocked at 3.9GHz. This one is followed by the Xeon E3-1270 v6 and Xeon E3-1240 v6, clocked at 3.8GHz and 3.7GHz, both of which got a 200MHz clock increase compared to the Skylake-based Xeon lineup, just like the flagship Xeon E3-1280 v6.

The next in lineup is the Xeon E3-1230 v6, clocked at 3.5GHz, which is a 100MHz increase and the Xeon E3-1220 v6, clocked at 3.0GHz, which is the only CPU with disabled Hyper-Threading.

The lineup also includes four Xeon E3-1200 v6 series CPUs which will have an integrated iGPU, probably an updated on, compared to the Skylake-based Xeon CPUs. These CPUs will have a slightly higher 78W TDP while the clocks should remain pretty much the same as on the rest of the lineup, coming without an integrated GPU.

Unfortunately, there are still no details on when should these Xeon CPUs become available but they sound like a decent improvement compared to the previous generation.
