Anyone going to use the New Intel E5?

[Storming]

Hi,
Just curious to know if anybody is planning on using/offering the new line up of Intel processors?

We've just pre-ordered some with our DC for the following configurations:

2x Intel Xeon E5-2640 (6 cores, 2.50 GHz, 12 Cores total with 24 threads)
64GB DDR3 ECC RAM
Intel 320 G3 80G SSD


Certainly a nifty bit of kit there!
I can't wait to be playing with this myself and testing it over the current E3 range we currently operate with.


Whats your thoughts? Theres many different configurations for the E5 series.. so would love to see if people are going for these and what for?

I won't say what these little beauts are for but im sure all will be revealed soon

EDIT: Reason for the low sized SSD is due to our setup needs - we'll be running SAN storage along side these...

That's insane

good when E5 will be released E3 prices will go downhill and we will go for that

btw nice in-direct advertising but I guess its wrong place since most members here won't spend 300$+ on high-end dedis

love the specification,big boss cpu, will be prefebely for encoding purposes

I'd like to, but it'd go to waste.

Have to agree XSLTel I'm very impressed with the performance we receive from the E3 processors (Running 1230 and the 1260L) if the prices go down it would be great.. But I doubt they'll drop that much just yet!

Look at the older generation Xeon CPU's those can still be pricey!

Didn't plan for indirect advertising, just curious to see if people are gonna be running similar setups.

Im sure many encoders would find this a beast to work with!

Although im sure in most cases it would be used for VPS services/cloud infrastructure for a very high demand.

i'm just going to rob yours Reece and test them myself

The kit is certainly gonna pack a punch!

was about to say with the SSD drive. you almost have as much ram as space

@Storming swiftway server right ? . Also what SAN solution you are going to implement. Is that iSCSI over normal NIC link or Fiber channel ?

E7 new, not E5
I ordered 2 x Xeon E7-4830 @ 2.13 GHz server 2 days ago, very fast processor
