Looks like it must be nearing release now, 2 boards appearing on Google for SM:
X11SCH-F
X11SCZ-F

In the market for a board as of last week. Does anyone know when Xeon E releases?

In particular a C246 version of the P10S-M WS/IPMI would be great.

It is soon. There were huge numbers of boards at Comptuex all with no photography allowed.

I did not see that specifically, but I expect ASUS and other vendors to have many boards.

And the release is not going to be this quarter for what that is worth so there is still a bit of time.

Thanks for the reply. I need 2 PICE-X8, IPMI and integrated graphics with HDMI to passthrough. Looks like the Asus P10S-M, Supermicro X11SAT-F and Supermicro X11SAE-F are suitable but it seems a bad idea to be buying Kaby lake new at this point (Especially since discounts are non existent).

Quite a few Supermicros listing now:
X11SCV-L
X11SCV-Q
X11SCZ-F
X11SCZ-Q
X11SCL-LN4F
X11SCL-IF
X11SCQ
X11SCQ-L
X11SCH-F
X11SCH-LN4F
X11SCW-F
X11SCA
X11SCA-W
X11SCA-F
X11SCM-F
X11SCM-LN8F

But I cant see an equivalent for the X11SAT or X11SAE (Maybe workstations aren't included in the Xeon E release).

Just a quick note for those who have seen the model numbers above. The new model numbers are not obvious; for example the X11SCA is the replacement for the X11SAE (Not the X11SSA).

Also, multiple sources are saying mid to end this month for release so guessing 17th, 24th or 31st July.

Do you know if any of these will have 10 Gbps NICs onboard? Previous models typically had a T in them, but SM's site has a VERY limited listing of available motherboards.

I've not heard of any but it would not surprise me if SM or ASRack release one. The server boards have not really been released yet (Only WS) as rumor has it they are waiting for the 8 Core CPUs.

It took them roughly 9 month in between releasing the i7-8700k and releasing the Xeon E-21xx serie.

No idea if its a good idea to use this delay time for predicting the release of an upcoming 8 core Xeon E.

That 8700 didn't follow the typical release cycle. It was strictly in response to Ryzen. The Xeon E will follow the typical release cycle.

If what is said in the thread and press about intel’s lack of 14nm production right now the last thing I would expect it to be ramping this up but never know.

The upcoming i9-9900k will be an 8-core so i expect a counter-part Xeon E of that CPU some time later on.

Since I am not under embargo, in some of our E-2100 release coverage we noted that the server parts would be shipping in Q4 and have 8 cores.
