Intel's Next-Gen Skylake-E / EP Processors To Feature Support on LGA 3647 Socket - Hexa Channel Memory Support Confirmed

Intel's next generation Skylake-Due east / EP processors have been confirmed to feature support on the new LGA 3647 socket. When the new generation processors arrive, Intel will be ditching their LGA 2022-3 socket as Skylake-E processors will be bigger in dimensions compared to Broadwell-E and Haswell-East chips. The socket was pictured by the guys over at TweakTown and you tin can meet it yourself in the picture below.

Intel Skylake-East / EP Chips To Exist Compatible on LGA 3647 Socket - Bigger Dimensions Than LGA 2022-3

From the looks of it, Intel is going all out with their next generation processors. The motherboard was congenital by Gigabyte and the socket was manufactured by Foxconn. The socket is conspicuously mentioned to host 3646 pin connections which is exactly 1636 pins more than than the LGA 2022-3 socket. Since Skylake is based on the latest 14nm architecture, it warrants a new socket. Even on the mainstream side, Intel fabricated the LGA 1151 socket allowing support of their Skylake desktop chips. The socket is only compatible with Skylake and the upcoming  Kaby Lake processors.

The LGA 2022-3 socket will final three years in the market afterwards which Intel will shift to the LGA 3647 socket. The socket features a rectangular shape compared to the boxed one we get to run into nowadays on LGA 2022-3. A large metal frame is placed next to the socket which could be support machinery for coolers. The socket doesn't look terminal as we can't see levers that or metal frames that are needed to fit chips on the socket.

Intel Skylake-EP Fries will replace the Broadwell-EP chips on adjacent-gen workstations and server platforms!

While the socket is definitely huge and something to be noticed, our attention was chop-chop diverted to the ram slots. Every bit you can run into, in that location are a full of half dozen DDR4 DIMM slots on one side of the socket which ways that there are also six more on the other side. This kind of confirms that Skylake-East / EP processors would be upgrading the current quad channel memory back up to hexa channel memory support allowing for even higher chapters in servers and workstations.

Intel Skylake-EP and Cannonlake-EP Chips To Feature Hexa-Aqueduct Memory Support on Purley Platform

With Skylake-EP, Intel will finally move to a make new platform known every bit Purley which volition be a scalable and unified platform supporting all 2S, 4S and 8S chips in the Skylake-EP and Skylake-EN lineup. It will feature the Storm Lake Gen ane architecture which is the name for Intel's next generation Omni-Path interconnect to be housed on this specific platform while the Lewisburg PCH volition exist powering the entire platform. The new fabric can evangelize up to 100 GB/southward interconnect speed with 56% lower latency compared to the current generation Infiniband Inter connect while assuasive 48 ports with the new Switch Chip architecture.

We tin wait up to 28 cores, 56 threads and an insane corporeality of enshroud on these processors that will feature 45-160W TDPs with 6 channel DDR4 memory support and 48 PCI-Express lanes per flake. An 8S platform housing these fries will end up featuring 228 cores, 448 threads and 560 MB of L3 cache. The Skylake chips are expected to hit market in 1H 2022 with the new server board designs that include Wolf Laissez passer, Buchanan Pass and Sawtooth Pass. The latest racks volition fully support Intel'southward Skylake-EP Xeon E5-2600 V5, Xeon E5-4600 V5 and Skylake-EX Xeon E7-8800 V5 processors that will exist congenital on the electric current generation 14nm process node.

Moving to 2022, we volition exist looking at the 10nm Cannonlake-EP Xeon E5-2600 V6 and Cannonlake-EN Xeon E5-8800/4800/2800 V6 processors. There's lilliputian known most Cannonlake at the moment but it seems similar Intel volition skip Kaby Lake and won't include it in the server/workstation roadmap. The new Cannonlake-EP chips volition retain all the features Skylake generation and include some new features likewise such as college PCI-e lanes (more than 48), support for PCI-e Gen4 compages on the latest server boards, college cadre count (Upward To 32 cores on Cannonlake-EX) and faster clocked DDR4 memory.
