Hardware New Intel Xeon E5-2600v3 Haswell-EP Processors !

Just checking out the coverage for new Intel Xeon E5-2600v3 Haswell-EP processors and looks like awesome cpus for next generation of dedicated servers

Patrick Kennedy (from STH - site and forums also runs Centmin Mod AFAIK ) has a nice reviews at

• Intel Xeon E5-2600 V3 - Haswell-EP Grantley Launch (Intel Xeon E5-2690 and E5-2699 V3 Benchmarks)
• Intel Xeon E5-2600 v3: Haswell-E Hits The Server Space
• Intel Xeon E5-2600 V3 -- Deep Dive
• AnandTech | Intel Xeon E5 Version 3: Up to 18 Haswell EP Cores

The E5-2643v3 and E5-2667v3 look like interesting parts for 6 core @3.4Ghz and 8 core @3.2Ghz dual cpus so you could have Dual Intel Xeon E5-2643v3 with a total of 12 cpu cores + 12 cpu threads @3.4Ghz or Dual Intel Xeon E5-2667v3 with a total of 16 cpu cores + 16 cpu threads @3.2Ghz That's like 3x or 4x Xeon E3-1270v3 servers ! or 2x Xeon E5-1650v3 servers

And check out the Intel Xeon E5-2699v3 with 18 cpu cores. A Dual Intel Xeon E5-2699v3 would have 36 cpu cores + 36 cpu threads = 72 cpu threads total @2.3Ghz !

New AVX/Turbo boost mode

Wonder who among the cloud hosting providers will also be first to utilise theses ? Linode ? DigitalOcean ? Vultr ?

I know Webnx (one of my shortlist choice providers I have kept an eye on) has already started offering Intel Xeon E5-2600v3 cpus for Xeon E5-2603v3, Xeon E5-2620v3 and Xeon E5-2630v3 dedicated server configurations WebNX: Dual e5v3 launch 2x6 Core$189 32HT Core monster with 32GB DDR4 only $299 WOW! - Dedicated Hosting Offers - Web Hosting Talk

Or this compare ARK | Compare Intel® Products

Looking at costs, most likely Xeon E5-2620v3 and Xeon E5-2630v3 would be likely candidates

Oh and full table from Anandtech - my hopes for E5-2637v3 and E5-2643v3 and E5-2667v3 are shot to pieces given their prices But those are equivalent to 2x to 4x Xeon E3-1231v3 cpus so priced comparatively.

@RSNET-Radic yes definitely a nice lower end bump. And saw your posted offerings for these on WHT - nicely priced

Would be interesting to see the OpenSSL benchmark performance of E5-2600v1 vs E5-2600v2 vs E5-2600v3 one day using my centminmodbench.sh script bench.centminmod.com
