Very nice, now to wait for prices.....
8 cores/16 threads in 45w with 2 x 10GBe.....yes please!
Product page and press release just published.
"Pricing & Availability
Intel Xeon Processor D-1520 (4-core) $199.00
Intel Xeon Processor D-1540 (8-core) $581.00
The products are available today. The extended Intel Xeon processor D product family including microserver, network, storage and IoT optimized SoCs is expected to be available in the second half of this year."
Will they be any advantage in a gaming PC? What socket are they?
So these use 14nm Atom cores? Or 14nm Broadwell cores?
What is more weird is that as intel start releasing more broadwell chips, it appears they are all lower clocked than the previous gen. Even with the small bump in perf per core, I'm beginning to think broadwell will be a benchmark disaster.
Would like to be proven wrong but something is up.
There is no such thing as "Atom cores" Atom is just their naming scheme, just like "Core I" name. But it should be based on Broadwell, I don't believe they are going with Skylake alreadyQuote:

Yeah, or network systems.
45w for 8-cores and 16-threads is great performance per watt though...
The performance and power consumption is the sort of thing you'd expect for the market it's aimed for. Don't forget it's clocked quite low, Haswell manages about ~6W per core when clocked that low (going off the mobile U parts), x8= 48W, and Broadwell is a die shrink of Haswell.
The performace/Watt is really nothing unusual when you factor in the much lower clock speed vs Desktop CPUs.
Supposedly these are Broadwell-DE and have both DDR3 and DDR4 controllers.
I think microservers is a key market, i.e. large rack chassis reminiscent of blade systems. I would expect to see a Supermicro Microcloud using these for example, doesn't seem to be announced yet but there are Xeon E3 and Atom C series variants already so it would seem likely, the 12/24 node in 3U models using Xeon D and the 10Gb Ethernet built in would be killer, that's a lot of density, add a 48port switch like the SSE-X3348S, install Openstack and you've got a powerful private cloud in 4U and with <2KW power draw.Quote:
