The Geekbench result is pretty impressive, with the CPU hitting over 50'000 points in the multi-core benchmark.


This new Xeon features 32 core, 64 thread and a base clock frequency of 2.30GHz. The TDP is set to 165 Watt. Purley is going to be the successor of Nehalem. It will support six DDR4 memory channels, AVX 512 instruction set, support up to 8 sockets, a 100G OmniPath interconnect as well as 10Gbps Ethernet controllers.
