Advanced Member L'Ancien Regime Posted September 21, 2015 Advanced Member Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 Up to 28 cores for 56 threads per CPU, and 6 channels of DDR4 RAM instead of 4. It may be scalable up to 8 sockets so you could have 8*56 threads for up to 448 threads on one motherboard. The Skylake Xeon v5 (maybe there will be Xeon E5 and Xeon E7 variants, maybe not) will top out at 28 cores. This is considerably more than the 16 cores that AMD is rumored to be putting on a single die for its future Zen Opteron processors. Three versions of Skylake-based Xeons will arrive from Intel: they will be “Skylake-EP”, “Skylake-EX” and “Skylake-F”. They will all arrive with 28 cores and up to six DDR4 memory channels, supporting up to 2400MHz DIMMs per channel, meaning up to 768GB of DDR4 memory per socket, and up to 48 PCI Express 3.0 lanes as well as two or three UPI channels per socket. Added to these mind-boggling numbers, Intel plans these platforms to be highly customizable to suit all sorts of cloud-computing operators and data center clients. http://wccftech.com/massive-intel-xeon-e5-xeon-e7-skylake-purley-biggest-advancement-nehalem/ I wonder how much those e5's will cost?? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
