For single socket workstation and server platforms
Intel has now officially launched its latest Xeon E3-1200 V5 Greenlow family of Xeon processors which are based on Skylake architecture and aimed at single socket platforms in the server and workstation markets.
Currently consisting of 11 Xeon processors, the Xeon E3-1200 V5 lineup will use the new Greenlow Platform based on the C230 series chipset. The new platform will bring significant performance improvements with better graphics capabilities and more features, including increased support for up to 64GB of DDR4 RAM, 20 Gen3 PCIe lanes, more USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 ports as well as 8 SATA 6Gbps ports.
The new Xeon E3-1200 V5 lineup supports both DDR4 and DDR3L memory which will make the transition easier, something that Skylake architecture brought to the table.
The entire lineup is divided into three groups, first consisting of chips without the iGPU, second with Intel GT2 graphics, and third with Intel Premium graphics chips such as Iris and Iris Pro with eDRAM. The lineup is divided on Skylake Xeon 4+0 a quad-core CPU design without iGPU, Skylake Xeon 4+2, with quad-core CPU and GT2 graphics and Skylake Xeon 4+4e, with quad-core CPU and GT4e GPU.
The list includes a total of five Xeon chips without graphics, three chips with GT2 graphics, three low power chips and three chips based on BGA socket and aimed at data centers. Intel also made some changes when it comes to compatibility as the new Xeon E3-1200 V5 lineup is not compatible with Z-, H-, B- and Q-series motherboards, making them compatible only with the new C232-series and C236-series motherboards.
The top offer in the lineup is the E3-1280 V5 SKU, a quad-core chip with support for Hyper-Threading, 8MB of L3 cache, base clock of 3.7GHz, maximum Turbo clock of 4.0GHz and 80W TDP. This one does not feature integrated graphics and will have a US $612 price tag. The notch below it is the Xeon E3-1275 V5, the same quad-core part with Hyper-Threading support, 8MB of L3 cache, 3.6/4.0GHz clocks, Intel GT2 graphics (HD P530), same 80W TDP and US $339 price tag.
As you can see from the table below, there are three low-power chips, including 25W TDP Xeon E3-1240L V5 and the Xeon E3-1235 V5. The first one is a quad-core part, clocked at 2.1/3.2GHz, with 8MB of L3 cache, lacks integrated graphics and has support for Hyper-Threading, while the second one is also a quad-core part but without support for Hyper-Threading, lower 6MB of L3 cache, GT2 graphics chip and 2.0/3.0GHz clocks. Intel will also offer another low-power chip, the Xeon E3-1260L V5, without graphics chip, 2.9/3.9GHz clocks, 8MB of L3 cache and 45W TDP.
Missing from the table are three BGA socket chips, the Xeon E3-1585 V5, Xeon E3-1585L V5 and the Xeon E3-1565L, with 65W, 45W and 35W TDP, respectively. All three will feature Intel Iris Pro iGPU with 64MB of eDRAM but there are no information on their specific clocks.
The Intel E3-1200 V5 lineup based on Skylake architecture, as well as the new C232 and C236 motherboards should be available immediately, except for socket BGA chips which should be available later next year.
