Price increase 1/4 over 2,000 US Knife: Double SNB-EP price exposure

In the first quarter of next year, Intel will release two series of Xeon E5-1600/2600 server processors, all using Sandy Bridge-E core architecture and LGA2011 encapsulation interface, respectively for the single, dual / four-way market. The specifications and prices of the E5-1600 have been read before and the model specifications of the E5-2600 have long been exposed. Now let's see how much money is sold.

The Xeon E5-2600 series has a total of 17 different models, including a dual-core, three four-core, five six-core, eight eight-core, thread, frequency, L3 cache, memory, thermal design power, etc. the same. In terms of price, the lowest-end four-core four-thread Xeon E5-2603 1.8GHz/80W is only $202, and the top eight-core sixteen-thread Xeon E5-2690 2.9GHz/135W is priced as high as $2057. Interestingly, the Xeon E5-2687W is faster (3.1GHz) and the thermal design power is also higher (150W), but it is slightly less expensive, at $1,885.

This price is high or low, and the Xeon 5600 series that will be replaced by it will be obvious. The entry-level model Xeon E5603 was priced at $188 for the previous generation, and the two top model Xeon X5690/X5680 were for $1,663, which meant that the Xeon E5 only rose by 7.4% at the low end, while the high-end model soared by 23.7%.

It seems that even if the bulldozer is on the server, it will not give much pressure to Intel.

In the second quarter of next year, Intel will also introduce the dual-channel Xeon E5-2400 series with LGA1356 package interface, which will be slightly cheaper than the Xeon E5-2600 series, but certainly not lower than the Xeon 5600 series.
