[ServeTheHome] Xeon-D1518 (Wave 2) Benchmarks

Performance of the second wave of chips is going up as TDP goes down. We have the Xeon D-1528 (6 cores/ 12 threads) in the lab right now so expect more 35w TDP Xeon D results shortly.

These are from the updated 4C+HT but they have the 6C+HT coming soon! Benchmarks include their custom LinuxBench, c ray, 7zip, openssl.

Edit: Cut down on the quoted section.

The Xeon-D platform really looks good. What the Atom platform should have been from the start.

nice, ~skylake i7 MT performance @35 w

12 core and 16 core (w/HT) Xeon D skus are now available. The perf/watt just keeps getting better...

I agree. I want to see a workstation platform based on it, with built-in 10G ethernet.

(Call it HEDT-Lite.)

Supermicro already have such motherboards: http://www.supermicro.com/products/nfo/Xeon-D.cfm

That seems perfect to compete Zen and even Intel HEDT, only they need to make it OCable, makes it upgradeable and STOP using that useless iGPU.

Xeon D don't have iGPU. People doing serious work don't OC. And how often do you upgrade your CPU without changing the MB (I never did)?

Twice on a 775 board and once when I upgraded a laptop from Pentium P6000 to Core i3 380M. The last gave me a massive boost on my laptop.

This is not a desktop chip.

This is a server chip, designed for hitting price/perf w/ integrated high speed networking. There is no audio codec. There is no igpu. There is no OC because it's a Xeon. For the time being, it will probably remain non-upgradeable because if it was, it would eat the Xeon E3 completely.

 

[zir_blazer]

I don't think that the Xeon D would wreck the Xeon E3 line, since it provides models with much higher Frequencies and is a platform with much higher expandability. At worst case scenario, it would be relegated to Workstation type duties where you can't use purpose limited Server oriented Hardware, and consumer parts aren't considered reliable enough (After all, Xeons E3 are consumer Core i5/i7 with ECC support).

 

[ksec]

Staying with the same 128GB means in memory computing will still need E5v4. It would have been MUCH better if it was 256GB memory.

Do we know the number of PCI Express lanes on the 16C/32T version?

The 8C/16T version has 24 PCI Express lanes.

 

[Essence_of_War]

They are not on the Intel ARK yet, and I haven't seen any confirmation from STH or other reviewers.

If you check out the motherboard that they are testing on, it has two 8x slots, one 4x M.2, and then I think if you figure on another 4x slots for the 10Gbe that's 24x pcie 3.0 lanes. That's a very rough guess though.

D-1587 benchmarks are up: http://www.servethehome.com/intel-xeon-d-1587-benchmarks-16-core-xeon-d-is-here/

The benchmark selection is a joke. Most of the benchmarks are even more synthetic than Geekbench. Even if some of the micro-bench make sense due to their specialization for the target market (SSL for instance), showing Dhrystone and Whetstone simply makes no sense at all. And where is SPEC rate?

Do you see any other website that has these boards and any sort of reviews up? I thought not. Don't poopoo a good website.

Being the only or first site doing a review does not magically make the review any good.

The review provide some interesting information, but at the same time many of the benchmarks are completely irrelevant or uninformative. Multithreaded dhrystone, that's so funny

Wish I had the money for the D-1540 board right now . To bad AMD didnt do this with there Kabini cores. Would have been amazing to see 4 5350's taped together to make a 16 core micro server.
Hopefully by june I should have just enough saved up to snatch me one of the new D-1587 air cooled boards for around a $1K. I just need them to drop in price $200.00 by then.For those looking there is a guy on youtube doing reviews of these board. I've been watching his video's since yesterday and each one makes me drool more and more. Also thanks to the OP for posting this thread,I wouldnt have known about this otherwise.

I find it hilarious that there's another thread active right now talking about how poor Atom is, and how Intel probably intentionally castrated it so as not to compete with their Core chips.

What does that have to do with anything? Xeon D is core.

It has everything to do with reading comprehension. :$

For some reason I read this as large core count small-core Xeons that didn't actually suck.

Understandable. If Intel muddies the waters anymore with oddly name sub-product-lines, I'm going to need to start keeping my own spreadsheet.

Where did you get that price from. Prices would normally be for board and processor together. I thought the D-1587 alone was going to cost a fair bit more than $1k.

Would you give a link to this youtube vid with D-1500 board? Thanks.

Indeed, Xeon D 1571 list price is supposed to be $1,222.
