I'm disappointed by the CPU clock speed (should be turbo to 4GHz), but this looks like Intel is testing the waters to see who will buy Iris Pro on desktop. Honestly, for anyone looking to get into CAD who can't afford the Quadro or FirePro, it looks like the solution has been found. The product is not yet launched, but it's set for Q4 2014, so it should be out by Christmas. 

 

Any amateur CAD/3D people here who want to give this a spin?

Seems the ARK link is in the mobile format. Use this one.

Sweet.

Nice

I wish baseclock was a bit higher but still I think i will upgrade to it

Yeah, just upgraded to OS X Yosemite. Sometimes that happens. Thanks.

No problem.

Can we see Iris pro on a quad core celeron?

 

That would be almost perfect for a budget gamer.

In a desktop environment it will hit high turbo ranges pretty frequently

3.2GHz is the max frequency.

[Darkman]

Pretty neat. I personally like my E3-1230 v3.

[JackTheFolder]

If this thing comes with support for thunderbolt and ecc well then I am buying it.

Good enough for most people this is targeted for I'd say

TB will be motherboard-dependent. All of Intel's Xeons and I7s carry TB support post Sandybridge.

No, because that's almost a 25% hit over some of the current E3 Xeons as well.

Based on the TDP it isn't supposed to go head to head with the higher end Xeons like the 1230v3 etc, for a lower cost very small solution with no need for a discrete add-in card.

 

Maybe a 88W model will come down the line with Iris Pro and 3.7GHz or whatever.

Here's to hoping. At least Iris Pro 6200 is coming to the 5770k

Depending on how it performs I may swap to it and ditch my dedicated GPU. Gaming isn't something I really do and when I do it's fairly basic

[TheRetiredSlave]

I doubt that this will use an LGA socket, as they haven't really shown any intentions towards brining Iris Pro to LGA.. I'd assume that this will be another BGA (1364?) processor, especially considering it's lower than normal TDP.

 

It's would be a decent CPU for a small form factor workstation/server that needs some level of GPU computing to be done, but we probably won't be able to just slap this into an H97 board and have a cheap gaming rig..

[Scheer]

I know its not going to happen... but I want an E5 with Iris Pro.

 

I'd love to replace my servers 1620 and use the Steam Streaming "bug" where you get to the desktop and just do CAD work off of that.

seems so

 

 

Memory Types DDR3L-1333,1600

 

and it doesnt specify a socket at all

Since the turbo is 3.2GHz, that means the Multiplier can be at least raised to 32. So you can get a constant 3.2Ghz on all cores on this one if you overclock it. 

[ImBleu]

Should've thrown Iris pro on the G3258. That would've made almost every AMD APU they've made irrelevant.

Given Iris Pro 6200 is coming to the Broadwell 5770k which is on LGA 1150, and also given the PCIe lane allocation for this Xeon is 1x16, 2x8, 1x8/2x4, I'd say it's actually pretty likely this is LGA1150 material.
