Several are the battles lost by a company like Intel. One of these, undoubtedly the one that has hurt the most, has been that it is not a benchmark brand in a market such as mobile devices, so it is not surprising that they bet everything on other types of markets such as it may be that of the servers, today key to the survival of the all-powerful company.
With this in mind, it is not surprising that Intel continues to work to offer increasingly powerful and efficient solutions. A proof of what I say you have in the new Intel Xeon E5-2699 V5, a processor belonging to the Skylake-EP family that, based on the leaked data, could become a true benchmark for the industry thanks to its 32 cores and 64 threads capable of running at 2.1 GHz.
Intel Xeon E5-2699 V5, a processor with which to rule them all.
As you can see, we are talking about data even higher than that offered by Intel Xeon E5-2599 V4 itself, a processor that was presented by the company just a few months ago and that stood out then for its 22 cores, a processor that many advertised as a true technological achievement and one that would now pale against the power of the 2699 V5. Thanks to this work, Intel is finally at the disposal of stand up to AMD's Naples platform where, according to rumors, a processor with 32 cores may also appear.
Undoubtedly, a processor that, neither for performance nor for price, is aimed at a possible home user because this would not be able to take advantage of such power to execute tasks in parallel, something that is basically possible in data centers and supercomputers, you won't even want to pay for something more than U.S. dollar 3.600 that each of these processors cost.
