Intel Xeon E5-2697 V2

For those that did not see: Intel Xeon E5-2697 V2 Linux Benchmarks

Tom's Hardware had benchmarks also, although from a different source: Intel's 12-Core Xeon With 30 MB Of L3: The New Mac Pro's CPU? - Preface: Where's The Innovation In High-End Desktops?

Thanks to anonymous sources.

A pair of these could just be my next database server - 24 cores, 48 threads, 60GB/s PCIe, 260 watts.

260w running balls-out...but don't forget about 17w idle (a guess based on other IB parts...). Even your DB servers spend more time at idle than they do processing. That is the real improvement with IB-E.

How did you get this pic?

I haven't seen the Pentium bunnie (bunny? sp?) suit guys since they changed color in the MMX day

Great work getting early access to these. Better work giving the team here a smile reminiscing about marketing campaigns past

Actually, I received two from the office. Someone was cleaning out old boxes and thought of me when they saw the Intel Bunny Suit dolls. I think this is a post-Pentium II campaign doll.

You guess it idles at 17Watt?? That would be great, if it was the case. Does anyone know about the idle wattage?

PS. Patrick, when you do your reviews of cpus, it is unclear if idle wattage is the whole system or only the cpu. Could you please write it out explicitly in every review?

CPU alone quite probably yes, that low. The IO controller is a bit hot. Add in big memory configs and other MB options and total system idle with 2x CPUs is still probably in excess of 60w..but a lot lower than you will get with current gen 8 cores like the E5-2665.

He does after-power supply at the wall. I think it'd be higher than IB desktop. You have more PCIe and memory but you don't have the GPU.
