Intel's next-generation server processors for 2015 including new Haswell-EX (Xeon E7 v3 series) and -EP4S (Xeon E5-4600 v3 series), are scheduled to be released in the second quarter of 2015, giving clients more time to transition to the new platform, according to industry sources.
For the entry-level workstation and server processor industries, Intel will launch its Skylake-based products including E3-1280 v5 and E3-1200 v5 series in the third quarter and will release Broadwell LGA1150 (E3-1200 v4 series) products in the same quarter, the sources said.
For its Xeon D/Atom C series SoCs, Intel plans to add the new Broadwell-DE series processors in the second quarter of 2015 to defend the micro-server industry along with processors such as the C2750 and the C2350, the sources said.
Intel also plans to phase out several server processors under Itanium, Xeon, Xeon Phi and Atom between the fourth quarter of 2014 and the second quarter of 2015, the sources added.
