During Computex 2015, when Intel company announced a new desktop model Core i5 and i7 (Broadwell), as well as the Xeon E3-1200 v4 and E5-4600 v3, has been presented model Xeon E5-4648 v3, which the company forgot to mention. This is 12-core processor with multithreading (24 threads) to four processor configurations. The core generation Haswell-EP clocked at 1.7 GHz with the rise to 2.2 GHz. The volume of L3 cache is 30 MB. TDP - 105 watts. Price - $ 2405 a piece.
The emergence of new processors predictably leads to removal from production of previous models. At this time,from production will be removed processors Haswell - Core i5-4670K and Core i7-4770K, and on Ivy Bridge-E - Core i7-4820K, i7-4930K and i7-4960X. Date of receiving order for the last model - 24 December 2015. On the same day, to stop taking orders for the model Xeon E3-1286 v3 and E3-1286L v3. And already 25 december Intel will remove from production processors Atom Z3460 and Z3480. Delivery of Core and Atom will last until June 3, 2016, and processors Xeon - until December 2, 2016.
Processors Intel Braswell for desktops and entry-level thin laptops will be replaced next year by Apollo Lake processors. Instead, of 14-nm architecture Airmont comes 14-nanometer architecture Goldmont with significantly improved computing performance and integrated graphics ninth generation. It is reported that processors Apollo Lake bar easily take videos with a resolution of 4K. In addition, Apollo Lake support USB Type-C and eMMC 5.0. Mass production is expected in June 2016.
