Priced to protect E5, curious on the I/O options... that also probably protects the E5 line.

E3 uses too much power.

I am surprised we don't see HP and Dell release systems but I guess it's also about protecting their E5 market. It's turning out to be a really great platform.

With the 10g logic in the chip I would love to see that used to connect to a blade backplane and I think you would have an amazing low cost, energy efficient, compact, high performance blade offering.

Patrick, you predicted that there were Xeon D CPUs in my future, and it looks like you were right. If the performance/watt numbers hold up, I'm in!

Yea, I really want to get on a shared chassis version. I think that would help power and efficiency numbers a lot.

I'm surprised we don't see QNAP and Synology jumping on this platform. It would be the perfect platform for their highest end models.

Also, I'm curious how the Xeon D-1587 would fare against a single Xeon E5-2683 v3. The E5-2683 v3 has almost twice the TDP, a slightly higher frequency and a lot more L3 cache, but I suspect the Xeon D-1587 would be quite close anyway. It's the closest match I can think of between the Xeon D-1587 and any of the E5-2600 v3. Even the price of a single socket LGA-2011 with the E5-2683 v3 and a dual-port SFP+ card is comparable.

@CougTek do you happen to have a single E5-2683 V3 available? If so, we can benchmark and compare easily.

I wish, but no. I only have a single E5-2650 v3 and a few dual E5-2690 v2. The E5-2683 v3 (or Xeon D-1587) would be for another project (a development server).

The E5-2650 v3 has 64GB of DDR4 2133Mhz while the dual E5-2690 v2 have 256GB of DDR3 1866Mhz.
