Intel Xeon E7 v2 Server (Quad and Octal Socket)
  31 March 2014

Intel has released the new Xeon E7 v2 family of processors; similar to the Xeon E5-2600 v2 family it is a 6, 8, 10, or 12 core Ivy Bridge Xeon except that the E7 v2 is also available as a 15-core CPU and they can be used in quad- or octal-socket servers. The top end 15-core CPU will have 4.31 billion transistors, run at 2.8 GHz frequency (3.4GHz Turbo), 40 PCIe lanes, and a maximum TDP of 155W.

The first of the Supermicro servers to support these processors is the 4U 4-way 4048B-TRFT. This system supports Quad Xeon processors (E7-8800 v2 / E7-4800 v2 family from the table above), up to 6TB DDR3 1600MHz ECC RDIMMs or LRDIMMs with 96 DIMM sockets, up to 11x PCI-E 3.0 slots (4 x16, 7 x8), 2x 10GbE LAN, 1x Dedicated LAN for IPMI Remote Management, 1x VGA port, and 24 Hot-swap 2.5" SAS3/SATA3 drives.

Target applications include Cloud Computing, Virtualisation, HPC/Cluster, Data Center, Database Apps, Enterprise Server, and Financial Analysis. The new E7 v2 processors replace the previous generation of Xeon E7 processors released 3 years ago; with a 50% increase in processing core counts and 30% increase in integer performance per core, we expect double the general computing performance in scalable integer applications (such as SAP), and triple the performance for floating point applications.
