Wasn't that launched last month with LGA 2066, http://www.anandtech.com/show/11550/the-intel-skylakex-review-core-i9-7900x-i7-7820x-and-i7-7800x-tested http://www.anandtech.com/show/11550/the-intel-skylakex-revie...? Sure, those do not wear the Xeon name, but that platform has cpus that are comparable to Xeon E5-1650 and 1660s. And there are additional cpus with higher core count announced.
- exmadscientist 9y agoThat line doesn't support ECC though, so it's a pretty poor choice for a production workstation. And the LGA2066 platform has power delivery and thermal issues [1], likely due to the launch getting pushed up and mainboard vendors not having enough time to get things right. Gaming customers can tolerate a bit of flakiness from their systems, but Intel's enterprise (i.e., Xeon) customers will scream bloody murder if Skylake-SP launches in anywhere near as bad a state as Skylake-X did.
