14 DAY TRIAL // When it leaked the slides depicting Intel's Haswell Z87 motherboards, and for that matter the H87- and Q87-Based models, ComputerBase also exposed slides showing the upcoming Xeon E5-2600 V2 CPUs, otherwise known as Ivy Bridge-EP.
There are several of them, as can be gleamed from the gallery below, and they all will debut in the third quarter of next year (July-September, 2013).
Intel will build them with the 22nm Tri-gate fabrication process (Sandy Bridge-EP use 32nm) and will give them 30 MB of cache memory and TDP of 70W (10-core) to 115-130W (12-core).
There will be DDR3-1866 memory support as well (so, as expected, no DDR4), along with up to 30 MB of cache memory.
No information has changed from what was exposed by previous announcements and leaks. The chips will be compatible with C600 chipset-based server mainboards (LGA 2011 sockets) and will be released alongside the Ivy Bridge-E desktop platform.
That's still a way off though, so enthusiasts may want to keep their eyes on events closer at hand, like the appearance of Core i7-3970X Extreme.
