We have already noted more than once that the Intel Xeon server processor models coming up this summer are quite unusual. For example, Xeon processors of the Skylake-SP class (Xeon E5) can get the maximum number of computing cores in the generation (28 pieces) and the LGA 3647 processor socket.
The other day Intel officially confirmed that the Xeon models of the Skylake generation will form the basis for the company's new paradigm in the classification of server solutions. Like, the world has changed greatly over the past four years, and the company emphasizes these changes, including changing the principle of naming server processors. So, now the Xeon processors instead of the usual designations E5 and E7 and others, will be divided into four classes of products with different levels
of performance. To denote the four classes of Intel refers to the names of precious metals (almost): bronze, silver, gold, platinum. As it will be combined with concrete models, it is not specified yet. But the buyer should already be satisfied with the purchase, say Xeon Platinum and a slight sense of shame after buying Xeon Bronze.
Announcement of the processors of era Xeon Processor Scalable (Skylake) is expected this summer. According to Intel, the new platforms will provide an expansion of the range of scaling calculations 3.9 times more than the platforms four years ago, which now dominate the data center. Other advantages of new platforms promise to be the support for extensions to Intel Advanced Vector Extensions 512 (Intel AVX-512), QuickAssist Technology (Intel QAT), Intel Volume Management Device (Intel VMD - SSD
management with NVMe support and SSD hot disconnect) and more. Related Products :
