14 DAY TRIAL // CPU support lists seem to be providing the public with a lot of pre-release information nowadays. ASRock has just increased the number of instances where CPU details have come out earlier than they should have.
The company has revealed what seems to be the full collection of Xeon E5 Ivy Bridge-EP CPUs scheduled for Q3 release.
There's everything from 8-core parts to 12-core processors, although the odd part is that the CPU with the highest TDP (150W) is a 10-core unit called E5-2650L v2 (3.4 GHz clock speed), not a 12-core.
The cache memory is of 25MB or 30MB, depending on core count, and the clock speeds go from 1.7 GHz (10-core E5-2650L v2) to 3.5 GHz.
Ivy Bridge-EP will replace Sandy Bridge-E. ASRock's LGA2011 motherboards, along with rival-made platforms, should precede them by a few weeks.
