Intel Shows 28-core processor die-shot
During its Technology and Manufacturing Day Intel has shared a slide of a server-processor with 28 cores. The die-shot as such must be the Skylake-SP series of products in the Xeon Platinum range.
Yes, Platinum. Each core would get 1024KB of L2 cache. The Xeon SKUs always have been segmented into a numeric schema, like the E5-2640 v5. Starting with the 8000 series the 22 to 28 core models will be the flagship products, these will be the Xeon Platinum series. The 14 to 22 core parts 5000 and 6000 series will be the gold models. The 4000 series on their end will get 10 cores, will be the Silver series.
The new processors will be based on a new socket (Yes intel LOVES new sockets) called LGA 3647. Earlier on a user on the Anandtech forums already posted the new lineup and specs on these processors, though that remains unconfirmed information. It is unclear yet when Intel will announce the new Xeon processors.

A new socket, why? Just because.
Not buying another Intel product until they stop being silly.
one would assume there must be a general trend at some point given the amount of cores that you will need new socket, so the socket itself is not holding back the CPU.
that's assuming you don't utilise head up arse thinking.

On the other hand, this are server products. I don't know many companies who upgrade their CPUs in servers. They rather buy a new server with more current technology and fresh warranty.

So you were hoping to pop one of these in your Z68? I really don't understand the big knock on a new socket every other CPU generation. I've had my 2600k for 5-6 years now. When I upgrade I want all the latest tech. My Z77 does not provide that. I will have to buy a new motherboard, what does it matter at that point if it is lga 1150, 1151, 1155, 2011 or what ever else?

The only real reasons for new CPU socket is new memory tech and width (channnels)
So, basically, we should have had one socket per DDR type (on the same number of channels).
Of course, more channels ( like the HEDT plaform ) - another socket.
But 1156, 1155, 1151, 1150... yea, that is completely silly. Yay for monopoly \o/
