Intel Haswell Xeons get up to 15 cores
CPU World has shown details about Intel's upcoming Haswell-based Xeon processors. Xeon E7 v2 will arrive in Q4 2013, while Xeon E5-2600 v2 will launch a quarter earlier. Xeon E5-2400 v2 on the other hand will follow in Q4 2014. Xeon E7 v2 and "Brickland" platform will be released in Q4 2013. These CPUs will incorporate up to 15 cores and up to 37.5 MB of L3 cache.
The CPUs will have Hyper-threading technology enabled, as a result they will be able to execute up to 30 threads at once. The CPUs will also support VT-x, VT-d and VT-c virtualization, Turbo Boost 2.0, Trusted Execution technology, along with Intel Secure Key and OS Guard features. The processors will be coupled with C602J chipset, and will utilize up to four C102/C104 scalable memory buffers per socket. Each scalable memory buffer will support up to 3 DDR3-1600 DIMMS, as such the maximum number of DIMMS per processor is going to be 24. Other communications interfaces on Xeon E7 v2 chips will include 3 QPI links, and up to 32 lanes of PCI Express 3.0.

I suppose it could be that far too few chips come out with 16 fully functional cores so they're harvested at 15 for consistency.
*shrug* Just my 2c.
15 cores sounds odd. Needs to be an even number, its making my mild autism hurt my brain!

It probably has 16 cores and they disable 1 to increase yields. They will probably have a lot of screw-ups with that many cores on 1 chip.
Edit: Ninja'd... by almost 2 hours.
Why 15? Cmon intel, squish 1 more core to be reasonable.

How are these haswell based when haswell uses ddr4 and isn't supposed to come out till 2014? Wrong info maybe?

Because Haswell has an already artificially delayed release date of roughly June to July 2013 with everyone expecting it to be delayed by several more months. No competition, no rush. Otherwise it would have been out already.
I heard nothing about Haswell using DDR4, is that correct?
