Though intended for micro-servers, Intel is prepping a Xeon D-1571 processor rated at 45 Watt, the beauty of it all, it has 16 Broadwell CPU coresand 32 logical CPUs with Hyper Threading. They run at 1.30 GHz clock speed and are tied to a dual-channel DDR4 memory controller that will support up to 128 GB ECC DDR4 memory.

Particularly, Xeon D-1500 series makes use of Broadwell 14nm microarchitecture, which supports all latest x86 extensions. Currently, the fastest in the series is the D-1541, which has 8 CPU cores and 12 MB L3 cache.

As CPU world reports D-1571 SoC will double the number of cores to 16, albeit running at 35% lower clock rate. The D-1571 will also have twice larger level 3 cache. 16 CPU cores, 1.3 GHz clock speed, 24 MB last level cache, 45 Watt TDP and support for Hyper-threading feature, which allows the CPU to run 32 threads at once. The SoC is likely to support Turbo Boost technology, but we do not have information on the maximum boost speed yet. The official price of the D-1571 will be $1222.
