Up to 18 cores, 45MB of L3 cache and 12TB DDR4 memory
Intel has now officially launched its new Haswell-EX Xeon E7 v3 CPU lineup. With a total of 12 new Xeon E7-8800/4800 v3 processors Intel promises a wide lineup of CPUs that will deliver enhanced performance and reliability for enterprise and server markets.
While there are 12 new Xeon E7 v3 CPUs in the lineup, the flagship model, the Xeon E7-8890 v3, will feature 18 cores, 45MB of L3 cache and an impressive number of 5.6 billion transistors. Based on the same Haswell architecture first released back in 2013, the new Xeon E7 v3 lineup have been refined for better performance and task specific loads in server and enterprise environments. Based on 22nm manufacturing process, the Haswell-EX based Xeon E7 v3 CPUs feature a massive 663.5mm2 die size in order to get high number of cores, threads and amount of L3 cache.
The new Haswell-EX based Xeon E7 v3 lineup is aimed at 4S and 8S (4-Socket and 8-Socket) with support for existing LGA2011 socket (Socket R1) platforms.
As noted, the flagship model, the Xeon E7-8890 v3, packs 18 cores, 45MB of cache and works at 2.5GHz base and 3.3GHz Turbo clocks with 165W TDP. The lineup also includes 16, 14, 12, 10 and 8-core versions, all with enabled Hyper-threading, and with TDP ranging from 115W to 165W.
According to Intel, the new Xeon E7 v3 lineup achieves 40 percent average performance improvement compared to the the priror generation with 6x the improvement in business processing application performance for in-memory transactional workloads optimized with the new Intel Transactional Synchronization Extensions (Intel TSX). It also gets a 20 percent increase in cores compared to the last generation and with 45MB of LLC (last-level cache), it can deliver up to 70 percent more decision support analytic sessions per hour.
Showing that it is not just about performance, Intel also claims that the new Xeon E7 v3 lineup can offer 10x greater performance per dollar while driving up to an 85 percent lower total cost of ownership and with support for up to 32 sockets configurations and also has a largest memory capacity per socket (up to 12TB of DDR3/DDR4 memory in 8-socket systems).
Intel has announced that 17 system manufacturers from around the world will begin announcing Intel Xeon processor E7 v3 family-based platforms, including Bull, Cisco, Dell, Fujitsu, Hitachi, HP, Huawei, Inspur, Lenovo, NEC, Oracle, PowerLeader, Quanta, SGI, Sugon, Supermicro and ZTE.
Great performance also comes with a price so the new Intel Xeon E7 v3 lineup will start at US $1,224 while the flagship Xeon E7-8890 v3 will go for US $7,175, all in quantities of 1,000 units.
