I met Jennifer earlier today and saw this pushed by Intel just a bit ago: The Next Leap in Software Defined Infrastructure

"...with the new Intel Xeon processor E5-2679 v4 versus the previous generation Intel Xeon processor E5-2680 v3. We are looking forward to our continued datacenter innovations and collaboration with Intel.” Nick Whyte – Vice President, Fellow Search Technology, eBay

The E5-2679 V4 is not a publicly available SKU.

""Our search servers achieved an increase of 70% in throughput (QPS – queries per second) with the new Intel Xeon processor E5-2679 v4 versus the previous generation Intel Xeon processor E5-2680 v3."

I want to know how they achieved 70% increase in QPS.

That's much > than just generation upgrade, what changed that would warrant that?

Well... Could be v4 chips + pc4 2400 + nvdimms...
imo, probably an inverted typo 2679 should be 2697...

Might be the inverted number. I will ask if I see Jennifer.
