Release dates for Xeon d 2700 CPU’s and supermicro mbs?

[Matt Lund]

I’m under the impression that these are not out yet. Or am I mistaken? Any vague or otherwise guesses about availability timing?

 

[BlueFox]

Not yet available, but all the product pages are now up (just search for "X12SDV"). Assuming no issues with supply chain, I would expect availability in the next couple months, but that's just my guess.

 

[MortenB]

Any guesses where they will end up pricewise for a decent board? With say 8 cores + HT tops

 

[BlueFox]

There's only one SKU with an 8 core Xeon D-2700 CPU (X12SDV-8C-SPT8F). Likely looking at ~$1700 given the increase in CPU price over the Xeon D-2100 series.

 

[MortenB]

Ouch, Im on the D1541 Datto board still. It has served me well for a few years already, but considering upgrading to either Alder Lake or new Xeon-D for new features and lower power consumption. Gonna be hard to justify if its that expensive. D1700 series might be somewhat more reasonable?

 

[BlueFox]

Depends on what you consider reasonable? Just remember that MSRP on the Xeon D-1541 boards was over $1k. Just an FYI that TDP has also increased, not gone down with the newer generations.

What is the attraction of this platform at prices > $1500?

 

[oneplane]

Oh boy. That's quite a hefty price tag they got going there... not entirely unexpected but at this rate you might as well get some similar-frequency cores elsewhere and just deal with the larger physical space requirements the lesser integration causes.

 

[BlueFox]

Integrated 100GbE, QAT, industrial temperature rated SKUs, etc. They're not aimed for consumer use. Not going to find anything else with that in a compact package.

 

[oneplane]

Depends on size constraints; plenty of Intel chips at a lower price point with the downside of being socketed and requiring separate 100GbE over PCIe. ECC, QAT and industrial temperature ranges all the same.
