10-core Xeon E5-2600 V2 Ivy Bridge-EP Processor Info Surfaces

[tweakboy]

Intel will debut a 10-core Xeon E5-2600 V2 Ivy Bridge-EP Processor as a leaked slide reveals, that's next to 12-core processors BTW. The processor would be released in the third quarter of next year (July-September, 2013). By itself not groundbreaking news, however the specs we can derive from it are interesting none the less. Intel will make them on a 22nm Tri-gate fabrication process (Sandy Bridge-EP is on 32nm), this would save more power from the chip while keeping power consumption at a minimum.

This is not really anything special. In fact, it's far, far too late compared with the release of the consumer product. There have been 10 core/20 thread parts available since Westmere.

Tweak, we know all of this stuff. We read the same things you do. Your cribbing posts from other web sites are not needed.

This isn't true for everyone. Sometimes "reposts" from other websites start some great discussions. Discussion on this forum typically is at a higher level than many of the forums/blogs that are linked. I support Tweak linking stuff, in this case it isn't that big news, but sometimes the stuffed linked is good.

Hahaha, and in Tweak's case, his links are perhaps more intelligent than some of his posts? No offense to Tweak of course, but sometimes I see posts from him that injure my brain matter.

Sorry my friend.

What I want to see is the Ivy Bridge Version of their E5-4600 series since postgresql can now use 64 threads with the Linux 3 Kernel. I would love to have 4 of those bad boys in there for 64 screamin' fast threads.

except 10 core Westmere parts were extremely rare, very expensive, and with rather low clockrates

this wouldn't be so easily poo-pooed if these 10 core Ivy parts are released with 3+GHz clock speeds and are readily available for s2011 instead of topping out at 2.4GHz and costing $5000, and requiring its own platform that didn't see any daylight in the consumer world.

News like this is also relevant to those of us with consumer s2011 rigs as its more clues as to what we might expect out of IvyBridge-E i7s. While most of us are hoping for at least an 8 core chip, 10 cores would be even more welcome as long as it can still hit respectable clockrates.

MOAR CORES!

Oh wait, we're only allowed to say that in AMD threads, aren't we?

You can. Rob a bank or do a hold up.

Cuz that's a 10k price tag the config you want with 128GB RAM to boot.

Does this mean no Haswell until Nov Dec 2013 ?

IB was out before the real SB xeons were released.

Its a lot more than 10k for that. We already have a 32 thread E5-2690 x 2 with 256GB 1600MHz with the entire working set in RAM. It really pushes the CPUs hard when it doesn't have to worry about disk I/O. We could have gone with 768GB of 1333MHz, but our database is small enough, so we went with speed above all else.

Exactly, the clockspeed on the 10 core westmere's are too slow for what we need. If they could get that base clock up to 3GHz, then we'd be talking.
