Don't forget that the Xeon D-1541 is a 8c/16t part clocked at 2.1Ghz, 2.7Ghz turbo with a 45-watt TDP. Somehow, a quad core part with a 5Ghz boost wouldn't surprise me if you consider how awesome that D-1541, a broadwell chip, looks for what it is. The D-1541 is an SoC even which is pretty nifty IMO.
I thought that was really the whole point of Bradwell, to havea true high-performance SoC. I was pretty upset to never see it in retail, and now you link this? Where can these be bought, and what sort of board do they go into? That power consumption is amazing compared to the current SoC in NUC devices.

Word is, there will be a 16C/32T model coming soon...

SuperMicro has had it out for several months.

Gigabyte just released a lineup of boards with the D-1541 and D-1521 that haven't found their way to the market yet.

It's also BGA, so you're not buying the CPU from anyone, only on an embedded system.

, Fact that all Xeon processors do not have opened multipliers is the ground for Xeon brand .
.

Have a Xeon E5-1650v3 here, its not multi locked.

As I understand it, Xeons can boost 4 or 5 bins over stock so I doubt you'll get more than 4Ghz or 4.2Ghz depending on when it starts counting those 4 additional bins on the multi.

All in all, it sounds just like my 3820.

Not quite, its fully multi-unlocked. People are getting them to 4.5Ghz etc. Here I am @ 4.3Ghz. The point i was trying to make was that "All XEONS are NOT locked"

Can confirm, I have a 1650v3 here and it's done 4.5. I'd use it as a daily but don't want to purchase X99.

Got the Asus X99M-WS, small mATX board, with ECC ram, rock solid @ 4.0Ghz at stock voltages. Very awesome CPU.

It seems like the 1650 v3 is an odd one out when I did a little bit of googling. Do you know of any other E5 Xeons with the same behavior that isn't an ES chip?

There are a couple from each gen like that but I couldn't tell you off the top of my head each specific model. I only know this one because I work on it every day.

What happened to the 5.1 GHz Xeon E5-2602 V4? No where to be seen.

Its interesting that 22 cores running at 2.20GHz with 55mb Cache consumes less energy than 12 cores running at 3.00GHz and just 30mb Cache:
http://ark.intel.com/products/family/91287/Intel-Xeon-Processor-E5-v4-Family#@Server

This is what happens when you keep shrinking. Even with advancements, you can't beat physics. It's going to leak more. One more node shrink and high clocks will probably disappear.

Intel's "10nm" is already pretty delayed. Cannonlake may be the dream crusher and a wake up call to silicon reality.

Broadwell stinks! The lower cost i5 nonK models are actually slower or the same performance as previous gen models. I currently have a i5-3470. And even the 6600K is not worth the upgrade! Also after Intel supported SJWs and Anita Sarkeesian, I will never ever buy another Intel product again! To me that's the same as funding the nazis! Same type of freedom hating hate group. Just different political targets. And as far as I am concerned, Intel will never redeem themselves from this even if they apologize. I do not care how crappy Zen will be. If it's faster than my current i5, I will upgrade to AMD's Zen! Intel has lost me as a customer forever!

I'm still waiting for this 200 watt part that won't exist b/c you can't clock this crap that highly WHILE being reliable (plus no one wants the tdp).

Did you seriously just compare buying an Intel product to funding nazis? :slap:

It's for a specific application. Not everyone needs more core some people need stable more speed unluckily that produces more heat.

Or this Xeon is actually an 8/10/12/ or 16 core CPU with disabled broken cores sold as a 4core oc CPU...
