Linode Linode starting to use Intel Xeon E5-2697v4 @2.3Ghz CPUs

Linode user reported new Linode VPSes are sporting Intel Broadwell-EP based Xeon E5-2697v4 @2.3Ghz Linode Forum :: Broadwell-EP hosts, any specs? !

hmm nice to see Xeon E5-2600v4s but clock speed is going down from E5-2680v2 @2.80Ghz vs E5-2680v3 @2.50Ghz vs E5-2697v4 @2.30Ghz for base non-turbo speeds. But turbo speeds are up so with 18 cpu core/36 cpu threads the turbo speeds probably higher than previous processors !

E5-2697v4 benchmarked Dual Intel Xeon E5-2697 V4 Benchmarks - #3 in the lineup

 

So anyone managed to these new E5-2697v4 cpus at Linode yet ? All I seem to get are the E5-2680v2 and E5-2680v3 heh

 

guess they're as rare as hens teeth

 

Finally landed on one on a paying consult client's server in Linode Dallas datacenter on their Linode 64G plan with 16x cpu cores on Intel Xeon E5-2697v4 at 2.30Ghz with 64GB memory, 1152GB SSD storage and 20TB bandwidth. Running cpanel/WHM for the client + litespeed web server for their Xenforo forums.

nice to see more of them

 

sweet .. next wishing for Intel Xeon Scalable cpus Intel Xeon Scalable Processor Family (Skylake-SP) Launch

 

yup I've hit E5-2697v4 in Linode Dallas too

Didn't know they're migrating all VMs to the new zone though.
