Intel's next-generation Xeon V5 server processors based on Skylake architecture have been spotted online, revealing a bit more information regarding the actual specifications.

According to a listing coming from Zauba, which shows a couple of engineering samples, the Intel Xeon V5 lineup will range from 4-cores to 28-cores, support Intel Hyper Threading technology, TDP ranging from 45W to 165W and support 6-channel DDR4-2666 RDIMM/LRDIMM memory per CPU, in 12 DDR4 DIMM slots.

The L3 cache will range from 8.250MB on the 4-core with 45W TDP up to 38.75MB on the high-end 28-core SKU with 165W TDP, with clocks ranging from below 1.0GHz, up to 2.4GHz.

The biggest update will be the new Purley platform, which will support 2S (2-socket), 4S and 8S configurations and come with Lewisburg PCH with Intel's next generation Omni-Path interconnect with up to 100Gbps interconnect bandwidth and much lower latency.

The Purley platform will also feature an update socket, with 3647 pins, LGA 3647 or Socket P as Intel like to call it.

There will be a total of 11 different SKUs in the new Intel Xeon V5 server lineup and these should compete with AMD's Naples server chips based on Zen CPU architecture when it comes next year. First half of the next year will surely be an interesting period even for the server market.
