Intel Xeon E5-4600 v3-processors Specs Surface 18 Core Galore





Specifications on the new gen 3 Xeon line are coming online. The Xeon E5-4600 v3 line of processors will get 10 models including a CPU with 18 cores and 36 threads !
The fastest processor will run at 2.9 GHz. The details of the CPUs are obtained from a list that has been showing at a motherboard manufacturer. ASrock already has removed the entries.
The ten processors will get 10 to 18 cores per CPU with clock frequencies from 1.7 GHz up-to 2.9 GHz. The processors are based on Haswell and intended for systems with four sockets. The processors will be released in Q2 of 2015.

Pretty sure nobody would be running a Windows server on hardware like this. Not with direct access to all cores anyway.
Makes me wonder what kind of tasks benefit from this? Once you get to a certain number of cores, you're better off using GPGPUs. Even the Xeon Phi seems to be more practical.
The windows task manager would look sooo cool

We currently have a 12 core Xeon server right now with 64gb of memory, host server that has at least 4 servers virtualized as follow.
Host OS-Windows Server 2012
Virtual server 1-App server for techs
Virtual server 2-Storage server for network drives
Virtual server 3-Diagnostic server that runs background tasks for maintenance
Virtual Server 4-Virtual desktop split into 2 virtual desktops for access at home. Runs Windows Server 2008.
We have other hardware servers as well that do other tasks, so this cpu right here would be beneficial for multiple reasons. Less power than what we're running now, more efficient, and better carbon footprint compared to what we're doing now.

They had an PC with an 18 core processor on NCIS once an few years back, but that was an fictional processor, now not so much an fictional processor.

This would be the perfect chip to be a virtualization server that could do everything under the sun from web hosting to SQL to file storage.
The only xeon based servers that I have ever worked with had only 2-4 cores and any where from 4-16gb of RAM.

I am impressed yet i am not the ghz speed seem to be droping to accomidate those cores. and the fact that alot things are still stp demanded cause we dont have proper multi core/thread support is alot the software out there. makes this less impressive in my eyes.
Then again with PROPER usage of multi cores/threads this would be amazing.

Indeed. Core clock is still the king.

You have to remember the intended use of this type of proc, though. With this many cores, it is implied that its purpose is for massive virtualization, not brute force. Especially if used in a quad-socket arrangement, this would be very well suited for environments wanting to consolidate their various server/web host/app host/etc platforms into a single physical machine.
I would love an opportunity to configure a virtual network with this as the foundation.
