Hardware Intel Xeon E3-1200 v7 Will Become Xeon Entry (Xeon E)

eva2000 · Nov 29, 2017

Interesting news from Anandtech folks that the Intel Xeon E3-1200v7 series will be renamed as Intel Xeon E series https://www.anandtech.com/show/12087/intel-xeon-e3-1200-v7-xeon-entry-xeon-e

We have learned from separate sources that in the early part of next year, the next generation of entry-level Xeon E3-1200 processors will also be renamed to Xeon E, with E for entry.

First of the new Intel Core Performance Mobile and Intel Xeon E-2100M mobile series entry server cpus have been announced. The naming scheme hints to the server Xeon E-2100 naming scheme which is to take over from Xeon E3 1200v7 New 8th Gen Intel Core CPUs and Hinting at Xeon E-2100M Series

Intel Xeon E-2186M at 2.9Ghz base clocks and Turbo Boost to 4.8Ghz with 6 cores and 12 threads at 45W TDP

Intel Xeon E-2176M at 2.7Ghz base clocks and Turbo Boost to 4.8Ghz with 6 cores and 12 threads at 45W TDP

As we discussed in many of our reviews, the mobile Xeon parts are essentially like their consumer counterparts with ECC UDIMM support. In fact, we asked Intel if this is the new Intel Xeon Entry level launch, but we were told it is not. Our sense: the mobile team is launching and just added the “Xeon” parts to the mix.

It's upon us Intel Xeon E-2100 (aka E3-12xx v7) Coffe Lake with appropriately 36% better performance than E3-12xx v6 Kaby Lake and support for Intel vPro and Intel Optane Memory Intel Xeon E-2100 An Updated Platform and Market Segment

Intel Launches Coffee Lake Xeon E (Entry): The Next-Gen E3-1200

Despite the same pin configuration as the consumer parts (LGA1151), they will require Xeon E-enabled motherboards with the C246 chipset, and will not work in 300-series motherboards. They will also not work in C236-based motherboards, even though they have the same socket, due to Intel's product segmentation policies. Intel confirmed that the new C246 chipset will have an integrated wireless controller inside, and will require a CRF module on board in order to enable it (much like the second generation of 300-series chipsets). The C246 motherboards are set to support Xeon E, Pentium, Celeron, and Core i3 processors only, and not Core i5/i7. At the present time, Intel did not comment on any future parts that may or may not have 8 cores.

Intel Xeon E-2100 Series Launch SKUs and Value Analysis

As you can see the Intel Xeon E-2136, without the GPU is the leader when it comes to price and frequencies. This is a bit of a misnomer as the incremental cost to add a PCIe GPU, both in nominal and TCO terms will be greater than the incremental $27 to upgrade to the E-2146G. Integrated graphics are fine for the Microsoft Office and web browser applications that these chips are designed to run. As a result, we would call the Intel Xeon E-2146G the value leader in this segment.

8 core Xeon E server class processors are also on the books Expect 8-Core LGA 1151 Intel Xeon E Server SKUs Soon

Reviews are in The Intel Xeon W Review: W-2195, W-2155, W-2123, W-2104 and W-2102 Tested

In a previous generation, Intel had workstation counterparts in line with its high-end desktop line. Both of the products used the same socket, which made it easier for consumers, and the same single socket motherboard that held a Core i7 could also run a range of Xeons: the big E7 series, the dual-socket focused E5-2600 series, and the workstation-focused E5-1600 series. The benefits of these workstation chips were primarily for ECC memory, management features, and OEM support.

Cycle forward to today, and due to socket bifurcation, none of the server focused processors will fit into a modern HEDT platform. To that extent Intel created the Xeon W family, borne from the E5-1600 line, which matches up with the consumer line but with the usual ECC/OEM add-ons. Intel also cut consumer chipset support, pushing Xeon W out of consumer hands and purely into the OEM/system market due to the lack of server chipset based motherboards at retail.

LOL love Patrick's analogy of Intel Xeon E-2100 series re-launch The Intel Xeon E-2100 Server Re-Launch

ust as a personal anecdote, when I was young, we did not have a lot of money as a family. My mother used to take things from my sister and my closets, wrap them, and give them to us for special occasions. That is the picture of what Intel is doing on this one. We have the same parts, but now we are going to call them “server” parts. This is despite the fact Intel has a long history of re-branding consumer parts with ECC support and calling them server/ workstation parts. We chronicled that history through 6+ generations here: Looking back at Intel Xeon E3-1200 V1-V6 to the New Xeon E-2100.

Apparently, we are not getting 8-core Intel Xeon E-2100 with this launch.

Highly likely OVH will be using these Xeon E3-2100s series

One of the more interesting names on the list is OVH. OVH is known to assemble their own servers and is a cloud hosting provider. OVH is also well known as a dedicated hosting provider. This class of server processor is highly optimized for low-cost operation. Even basic features like 10GbE networking and RDIMM support we find on every other server platform, including the Intel Atom C3000 series, are absent. In the highly cost sensitive dedicated hosting market, these omissions are acceptable.

If this whole launch seems strange to our readers, just think of it as my mother wrapped some old Legos (the 10 Intel Xeon E-2100 SKUs launched in July) and is giving them as a present to us today. There is no new piece such as an 8-core SKU to bring parity to the consumer side.

Intel Xeon E-2176G benchmarks Intel Xeon E-2176G Benchmarks and Review Major Performance Upgrade

Our Intel Xeon E-2176G benchmarks and review are going to show why this CPU is a strong option for cost optimized dedicated server nodes. We believe this represents one of the largest value jumps in almost a decade in this space. It is a SKU priced only about 7% higher than the Intel Xeon E3-1275 V6. For that 7% price increase, you get 50% more cores/ threads, now up to 6 cores and 12 threads. Clock speeds are slightly lower on the base but higher on the turbo.

Key stats for the Intel Xeon E-2176G: 6 cores / 12 threads and 3.7GHz base clock and 4.7GHz turbo boost with 12MB cache. The CPU features an 80W TDP. This is a $362 list price part which is very reasonable for this level of performance in today’s market. Here is the ARK page with the feature set.

more benchmarks Intel Xeon E-2174G Benchmarks and Review - ServeTheHome

Our Intel Xeon E-2174G review is the first 4 core/ 8 thread Intel Xeon E-2100 series review we have done. At STH, we already have published benchmark pieces of all 6 core/ 12 thread Intel Xeon E-2100 series CPUs. Let us be clear, if you are looking for significant generational performance improvements, Intel has a line of CPUs with more cores for the same platforms. What the Intel Xeon E-2176G offers is the same high clock speeds, an integrated GPU, and the same new features all in a lower power processor.

Key stats for the Intel Xeon E-2174G: 4 cores / 8 threads and 3.8GHz base clock and 4.7GHz turbo boost with 8MB cache. The CPU features a 71W TDP which is significantly lower than many of the 6 core parts. Featuring a list price of around $330 which is on the higher end for a quad-core part today, this is not inexpensive. Here is the ARK page with the feature set.
