Hardware Intel Xeon E5-2699v5 Skylake-EP 32 CPU Core Benchmark Leaks

Wow Intel Xeon E5-2699v5 Skylake-EP processor benchmarks have been leaked Intel's Skylake-EP Xeon E5 2699 v5 Monster Flagship With 32 Cores / 64 Threads Gets Performance Leaked

32 cpu cores and 64 cpu threads to compete with AMD Zen Naples https://community.centminmod.com/th...-processors-ryzen-7-desktop-equivalent.10696/ ? Though Intel E5-2699v5 will definitely be more expensive !

Intel’s massive Skylake Purley flagship, the Xeon E5 2699 v5, spotted in Geekbench database
The chip manages to score an outstanding 49,647 points for all-core score and 3526 points on the single core score. Usually these Xeon chips don’t fare as well in the single core department but this particular CPU is something special and for good measure as well (as you will read later in the article). This score is probably one of the highest all-core scores (if not the highest) on Geekbench for a single socket, single package CPU and showcase very impressive performance numbers.

In fact, one of the reasons Intel has increased the flagship core count is because AMD will be rolling out its Naples chip very soon and it will be boasting 32 cores under one CPU package as well. Since 2S and 4S designs usually have additional complications involved, a maximum number of cores under one CPU package is always desirable. Intel announced general availability of Skylake-EP chips in mid 2017 and we expect a launch around Computex 2017. Intel has made several HPC focused optimizations in Skylake-EP chips, some of which include Advanced Vector Instructions-512 to boost floating point calculations and encryption algorithms.

Another very important point to note is that the platform will be scalable up to 8 Sockets – which is frankly an absolutely insane amount for CPUs working in tandem in any given configuration.

woah 8 sockets of Intel Xeon E5-2699v5 like cpus would be 8x32 = 256 cpu cores and 512 cpu threads

According to Intel’s own slides, Skylake Purley is poised to be the biggest update since the age old Nehalem platform. Along with the improved performance per watt that comes with every article iteration, Skylake EX Purley will actually ship with 6 Channels of DDR4 as opposed to 4. It will also include the AVX 512 instruction set and will boast the 100G OmniPath interconnect. Skylake Purley will also have Cannonlake graphics support not to mention FPGA integration (another important upgrade).

The new platform also comes with an updated socket. The socket has been upgraded to feature 3647 pins that gives it the LGA 3647 name. The socket is surrounded by 12 DDR4 DIMM slots. This is due to support for next-generation hexa-channel memory and Intel’s Optane DIMMs for faster latency solutions. Overall, Purley will be expanding Intel’s server platform with a range of new features.

How's backing them with something so insane?
Maybe supermicro? That would be super expensive even for banks lol

yeah expensive but trickle down effect each generation is all we mere commoners have budget wise $$$
