Xeon D-1540 -- IMO, the upcoming game changer -- replaces E3 as standard spec!

  • Intel keeps the e3 line limited to 32GB for market segmentation purposes - it pushes those needing more to the more profitable e5 series or other processors. As such we are unlikely to see D-15x0 based systems come down much in price - Intel wants to maintain profits.

  • BTW. Just migrated my one BandwagonHost Mini128 to their Los Angeles location and I can see, that they already use D-1540 CPU there. :)

  • Dell and HP haven't release Xeon D based Poweredge or Proliant ?

    If you want cutting edge tech you don't buy HP/Dell/IBM - You buy SuperMicro or build yourself.

    I'd agree with this. SM or build yourself

    I think the Atoms are just too high. The E3s are well priced. I mean, $300+ for an Atom with mobo just doesn't make sense. Maybe, maybe $200 is justifiable.

    E3-12xx v5 goes up to 64GB RAM.

    When is that getting released? It's got to be a year+ out yeah?

  • @jbiloh said:

    Forget when, what's the price going to be?

  • D-1540 seems good , could be lot better in cloud nodes

    by end of the year! E3-v5 will be out very soon -- the v4's are pretty much pointless/dead.

  • @ItsChrisG said:

    When did the v4s come out?

  • @ItsChrisG said:

    Going to be sooner than that, I'll be taking my samples next week.

    Yes, many hosters won't upgrade their network infrastructure to 10 Gb but so what? The SoC can also do 2 x 1 Gb.
    Look at the built in 6 fast Sata ports and you have all the usual (software) RAID levels available, too. Supporting plenty PCIe lanes will allow for RAID, FC and other controllers.

    Dual 10G SPF+ HBA's are littered all over eBay for $50-75 and add in $20 per transceiver and then this in a 4bay 1U case makes for a great Ceph node, lots of extra case room to stick a SSD in for the Ceph journal.

    Just to let your mouth water, these are embedded and mobile. Support 64GB Ram and have integrated graphics.

    http://ark.intel.com/products/family/88210/Intel-Xeon-Processor-E3-v5-Family#@All

    E3-1505L v5 - 4Cores, 8Threads, 2Ghz, 2.8Ghz boost, 25W TDP, alone with Graphics that supports 4k.

    E3-1535M v5 - 4Cores, 8Threads, 2.9 GHz, 3.7 GHz boost, 45W TDP, alone with Graphics that supports 4k.

    Doubt we'll be seeing these show up in servers anytime soon.

    They announced they are building XEON's for mobile workstations. So laptops soon :).

  • @Derek said:

    Well, maybe good for the MacBook Pro and such, but I doubt we will see this in Acer or even Dell. That's some very high-end processors.

  • Thinkpad! Beast Thinkpad! I'm hopping around with excitement.

    I'm in love with my first : a refurb x201. Now I understand why people buy Hondas for their entire car lives.

    v4 are out... got a couple eval units from our vendor last week

    v5 eval units come out Sept/Oct with a public release in Dec.

    Then what's the point of the v4?

  • jbilohjbiloh Administrator, Veteran

    Really not much value in the E3v4's. The amount of end users who need discrete graphics in a server is relatively small.

  • We've now got 6 D-1540s in production. They are working well. However, I am excited or the higher clock D's that are supposed to come out in the fall.

    That's what she said.

  • Does the D-1540 really perform that much better than an E3? CPU Benchmark shows a relatively small bump. Not $400 worth, either.
