Full Analysis of Intel Xeon E5 behind market segments (figure) (1)

According to Intel's famous Tick-Tock strategy, this year is Intel's year of Tick, that is, a year of technological change. In the Server field, this year is also a year of great development by Intel.

In addition to the original positioning of the low-end Xeon E3 and high-end Xeon E7, Intel in March 7 this year released a new generation of Xeon E5-2600 series, and in May 14 released with Xeon E5 series of E5-2400 and E5-4600. So far, Intel has three products in the Xeon E5 platform, so the market segment is rare for Xeon.

In the previous names of the Xeon series, the 3, 5, and 7 Series represent low-end, mid-end, and high-end products, such as the previous Xeon 3400 series, Xeon 5600 series, and Xeon 7500 series. In each series, the Division is based only on different processor clock frequencies, such as Xeon X5670 and E5620, and there is no clearer classification. However, since the Xeon E7 series, detailed classification is available. This Xeon E5 is a continuation of the E7 model, but the product line is wider and the positioning is more refined.

Xeon full range product positioning

At the same time, if we carefully analyze the Xeon E5 series, we will find a very interesting positioning: Xeon E5-2400 is a very unique processor, it and the previous generation of Xeon 5600 or E5-2600 are not the same, and have non-upgrading independence; Xeon E5-4600 facing the four-way, in positioning and E7 of some models or overlap. So how to clearly understand the three processors and how to avoid mistakes during the purchase is the problem to be solved in this article.
