Intel launches Coffee Lake Xeon E (Entry) as replacement for Xeon E3

[AlTech]

Intel has launched their Coffee Lake Xeon E Entry level.  This E-2100 lineup replaces the Entry Level Xeon E3 v6 lineup.

 

The new Intel entry-level consists of quad core and six core CPUs, some of which have Hyper-Threading.

Today Intel is announcing the Xeon E family of processors. The Xeon E-2100 stack of CPUs will replace the previous generation E3 v6 processors, following Intel's renaming of their whole Xeon stack, and in line with the workstation-focused Xeon W-2100 family, and the Xeon D-2100 family. The new processors mirror the current Coffee Lake Core processors on the market and will support up to 64GB of ECC memory, but require motherboards with a specalized workstation C246 chipset.  The E in this case stands for 'Entry', and these processors aim to be the cornerstone of Intel's portfolio of entry-level workstation parts.

The new family of processors will have four core and six core parts, mostly with hyperthreading, and mostly with integrated graphics, much like the Coffee Lake Core 8000-series CPUs. In order to differentiate the models with integrated graphics, these parts will have a 'G' after the name. All the processors are built on Intel's 14++ process technology, offering base clocks up to 3.8 GHz and single core turbo up to 4.7 GHz. At this time Intel is not disclosing all-core turbo frequencies or AVX2 frequencies. TDP will mostly be 71-80W, except for the high-end six-core processor which will be at 95W. All processors will support up to dual channel DDR4-2666 Non-ECC and ECC UDIMM modules. Intel also confirmed that the interface between the CPU and heatspreader is a polymer-based thermal interface material (TIM), not soldered.

Honestly, I was hoping that the quad-core non-Hyper-Threaded CPUs would not be part of their lineup.

 

The $284 6 core 12 thread E-2136 seems pretty appealing.

Can't wait to see how much they cost over here with a suitable board.  One of the things the older v6's did was give equivalent performance to the 7700 but cheaper making it very appealing to those who don't overclock.

Isn't this repost? I do believe I saw similar thread about this a few days ago.

I checked and it wasn't posted on the forum.

Then I must have seen it from other site and mistaken it with this forum.

I recommended that a guy wait for them to come out. Maybe you saw that?

crazy that almost everything is close to 5 GHz now out of the box. 

[Christophe Corazza]

Quick comparison with the previous generation (or the "Ryzen effect"): the top SKU has 50% more cores, almost 20% higher turbo clock, includes a iGPU and costs 26% less than the Xeon E3 v5 top SKU.

Thanks AMD!

Remember 2004 when Netburst was gonna be 10GHz in a couple years?

Or the 100Ghz IBM Graphene CPU

Let me know when they have a sample running at 9001ghz.

Well IBM does hold the record for a production chip clock speed at 5.5GHz.

Their current z14 mainframe is 5.2GHz and much more powerful than the formidable zEC12 was.

The C3 program is supposedly going to use 770GHz(not a typo) RSFQ chips to make a superconducting logic exascale computer relatively soon.

I had one with asrock's e3v5 overclockable board. My xeon was OCed to 4.2 ghz.
