Intel Ivy Bridge Xeon E3-1200 v2 CPU Specs Leaked




Outside of the Xeon E5 server processor series based on the Sandy Bridge-E architecture, the first half of this year will also mark for Intel the introduction of its E3-1200 v2 CPU line that is designed around the soon to be unveiled Ivy Bridge microprocessor design.

The Xeon E3-1200 v2 family will include 11 CPU models which will closely resemble the current E3-series chips based on the Sandy Bridge architecture, but will feature slightly improved operating frequencies and lower TDPs.

As CPU-World reports, only one model out of the 11 processors to be launched with use a dual-core design as the rest of the chips were built to include four computing cores.

This CPU however, which is dubbed the Xeon E3-1220L v2, is the only one to fit inside a 17 Watt thermal envelope as the others have TDPs ranging between 69W and 87W, with the exception of the Xeon E3-1265L v2 that is rated at 45W.

Intel's Ivy Bridge processors are a die 22nm shrink of the Sandy Bridge chips and feature the same architecture which will receive a series of improvements.

In the consumer version of the architecture, these improvements include a better GPU with DirectX 11 support as well as 30% more EUs than the HD 3000 GPU used in the current second generation Core processors.

Other CPU features include better AVX performance, an integrated PCI Express 3.0 controller as well as native USB 3.0 support thanks to the Panther Point chipsets, which are expected to enter mass production in the final week of December 2011.

Just like the current version of the Xeon E3 processors, most of their Ivy Bridge counterparts will also come with the integrated graphics core disabled as only four out of the 11 SKUs will include this feature.

Detailed specs of the Xeon E3 v2 CPUs are available in the table enclosed in this article, but sadly no info regarding pricing is available so far.
