Interesting new Xeon-Ds

16c/32t in 45w package...

Intel Xeon D 12 and 16 core parts launched: first benchmarks

Might make interesting but pricey crunching boxes.

Those Ds getting interesting. Still thinking on one for my pfSense and one for ZFS-NAS purpose. But a low-power multi-core cruncher is also cool (STH is quite an interesting site, too)

Yeah, it would be fun to play with them from a perf/W perspective; perf/$ not so much.

I dunno, first bench shows it beating out a pair of E5-2620 v3s... Those are ~$430 ea. add in a 2p board... and 10gb nic.
Price is going to be about the same, but at a fraction the power.
