Are they ?
A D-1520/21 quad core from supermicro with 10G and IPMI is under $500
Compare that to an E3 Xeon and by the time you buy the board, CPU, 10G cards it's more expensive!
Granted the 12 and 16 systems are really priced a bit high but Intel don't want them to eat their E5 business too much.

because there's no competition from AMD and big cloud players are probably buying all of these up like crazy
On the face of it, pricing is set based on performance comparison to the flagship E5 line.
Also, remember that the big cloud players don't pay retail. 70-80% discounts are not out of the question for FB, Google and others when buying by the 1,000s of units.

Intel is protecting the bottom end of the Xeon E5 lineup big time. That is why the D-1587 is released but you cannot find information on it in places such as ARK. Same goes for the other chips in the line.
Also with a smaller form factor and lower power consumption, you do have the opportunity to make a lot back in operating costs.

It'll be interesting to see how this changes the E5 line... if it does at all.
Xeon-D to me, replaces the E5-1xxx line, the 2xxx/4xxx are pretty much safe due to their multi-processor capabilities and going forward the entire E5 line can shift to take advantage of that.

Actually information about the D-1587 was added to ARK last week along with several of the other newer Xeon D chips. You can find it at Intel® Xeon® Processor D-1587 (24M Cache, 1.70 GHz) Specifications
Any idea why ? I would have thought it would make a perfect blade server or micro server.... Then again the HP microserver is stuck at gen8 so maybe they kill it shortly.... Not enough to 'E' in HPE
They probably aren't high enough on the priority list for volume shipments--the big players aren't buying commodity stuff from HP or Dell the way they used to because they can do better with someone who will build to their specs.
Wow thank you for this! I had been looking at the Xeon D Family page: Intel® Xeon® Processor D Family
