In October it became known that Intel moved out new models of server Xeon processors four and eight- core configurations in the second quarter of 2015. This was done ostensibly to enable customers to better prepare for the renewal of the platform. In fact, the delay may be due to the fact that the architecture Haswell has encountered a problem that leads to incorrect calculations by following the instructions TSX (work with transactional memory).
CPU World Website reaffirmed Intel's plans to withdraw processors Xeon E5-4600 v3 and E7 v3 on the market in the second quarter of 2015 and gavedetails about the composition range of Intel server processors . The most significant change, as it turned out, it was almost halved the number of models. In the generation Ivy Bridge came out 19 models Xeon E7 v2. In the generation Haswell will be released only 11 models Xeon E7 v3. Of the company's plans for 2015 are excluded processors E7-2800 v3 for dual-processor configurations. Became clearer distinction between models Xeon E7 v3 for four and eight-core configurations (E7-48xx and E7-88xx). The first will focus on starting and standard segments, and the second - on the fault-tolerant system for critical tasks ( Intel Itanium). There will be four models: Xeon E7-4809 v3, E7-4820 v3, E7-4830 v3 and E7-4850 v3.
Model E7-8800 v3 repeat the whole set of previous decisions. Processors Xeon E7-8860 v3, E7-8870 v3, E7-8880 v3 and E7-8890 v3 fill mass market systems, and processors E7-8867 v3, E7-8891 v3 and E7-8893 v3 fall into the most productive solutions. They will replace E7-8857 v2, E7-8891 v2 and E7-8893 v2. Also, there exists a replacement to low-power processor Xeon E7-8880L v2 in the face E7-8880L v3.
The new models Xeon E7 v3 support Intel chipset offer C602J and use scalable buffer C112 / C114 memory. In the maximum configuration, recall, processors Xeon E7 v3 offers 18 cores, up to 45 MB of L3 cache and support for DDR4 memory on a par with DDR3.
