Two months ago, Intel introduced new processors Xeon E5-2600 v2, which not only went over to the micro-architecture of Ivy Bridge, but also received a greater number of cores in a maximum configuration (12 pieces) and larger cache in the third level. Meanwhile, the first wave of processors mentioned only two models with 12 cores - Xeon E5-2695 v2 and Xeon E5-2697 v2. Intel is also trying to figure out whether it makes sense to release 12-core Xeon processors with unlocked multiplier.
In some virtual stores can be found the processor Xeon E5-2651 v2, which is also characterized by the presence of 12 cores. In addition, CPU has Hyper-Threading technology and 30 MB cache in the third level. It operates at a frequency of 1.8 GHz and may be mounted on the motherboard with LGA socket 2011.
A quick survey showed that the processor is really found in stores for $ 2100 - $ 2300. At the same time, Xeon E5-2695 v2 and Xeon E5-2697 v2 can be obtained respectively at $ 2336 and $ 2614.
