Windows 10: New Intel Xeon E-2100 6-core processor for Entry-level Workstations

Brink · Jul 12, 2018

What’s New: Intel today announced the release of the new Intel® Xeon® E-2100 processor. The Intel Xeon E processor, successor to the Intel Xeon E3 processor, is designed for entry-level workstations that provide creators with powerful, single-threaded application performance with a platform optimized for reliability and affordability.
“With today’s workloads, aging workstations impede productivity, collaboration and creativity. The release of the Intel Xeon E processor is intended to deliver the essential performance and visuals for entry workstations, as well as optimizing the innovative form factors, designs and diverse requirements of our customers.”

–Jennifer Huffstetler, vice president and general manager, data center product management, Intel Corporation
Why It’s Important: The new Intel Xeon E processor delivers a powerful combination of performance and capabilities for entry-level workstations. They are architected and crafted for the demands of creative professionals. Compared with its predecessor, the new processor offers higher max turbo frequency, faster DRAM speeds, enhanced I/O, and advanced security and reliability features. These processors are available with Intel® UHD graphics supported by a broad set of workstation application.

How It’s Different: The Intel Xeon E-2100 processor is a 6-core processor targeted at entry-level workstations. The combination of two additional cores and higher single-core turbo frequency delivers increases in performance across workstation benchmarks as compared with previous 4-core entry workstation processors. The processor offers Error Correcting Code (ECC) memory, a key feature to maximize data integrity, to help improve system stability and to reduce the possibility of silent data corruption.

Where It Works: Workstations powered by Intel Xeon processors meet the highly diversified demands of creative professionals in fields such as architecture, engineering, media and entertainment, and financial services. The Intel Xeon E processor is the latest addition to Intel’s portfolio of workstation-optimized processors, which also includes Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors (delivering breakthrough dual-socket performance for the most advanced workstation professionals), and Intel® Xeon® W processors (targeting mainstream workstations with a combination of performance, enhanced memory capabilities, and hardware-enhanced security and reliability features).

What It Features:

Up to 6 cores and 12 threads

Up to 4.7 GHz using Intel® Turbo Boost Technology 2.0

Up to 64GB DDR4 ECC 2666MHz

Available with Intel UHD Graphics 630 supporting 4K UHD with built-in HEVC 10-bit hardware acceleration delivers enhanced 4K media decoding and encoding

Up to 40 lanes of PCIe* for graphics, storage and network expandability

Support for USB* 3.1 and Thunderbolt™ technology

Support for Intel® Optane™ memory for a faster, smoother and amazingly responsive computing experience

Advanced hardware-enhanced security with Intel® vPro™ technology and enhanced Intel® Software Guard Extensions Support for Intel® Ethernet and Intel® Wireless-AC networking

When/Where You Can Get It: OEMs will begin shipping Intel Xeon E-2100 processor-based systems today. For information, visit Intel.com’s workstation page.

Beyond VR, many organizations are taking advantage of workstations to accelerate creation and innovation. From faster time to market with computer-aided design tools and creating ultrahigh-definition (HD) and 3D content, to improving medical care and driving faster financial trades and AI analytics, workstations give professionals a powerful productivity tool.

Unveiled in July 2017, Intel Xeon Scalable processors deliver breakthrough dual-socket performance for the most advanced workstation professionals, offering up to 56 cores, up to 112 threads and an Intel® Turbo Boost Technology frequency up to 4.2 GHz. Expert workstations will experience up to a 2.71x boost in performance compared to a 4-year-old system and up to 1.65x higher performance compared to the previous generation.

As part of today’s news, Intel also unveiled the new Intel Xeon W processors, targeting mainstream workstations. The Intel Xeon W processor delivers optimized performance for traditional workstation professionals by combining mainstream performance, enhanced memory capabilities, and hardware-enhanced security and reliability features.

The single-socket Intel Xeon W processor delivers mainstream performance optimized for the needs of traditional workstation professionals. The Intel Xeon W processor features up to 18 cores and up to 36 threads, with an Intel Turbo Boost Technology frequency up to 4.5 GHz. Mainstream workstations will experience up to a 1.87x boost in performance compared to a 4-year-old system and up to 1.38x higher performance compared to the previous generation.

Win10 Pro Support for Intel Xeon Processors

I am about to build a new rig that includes the following hardware components:

Intel Xeon E5-1650 v3 Haswell-EP 3.5GHz 6 x 256 KB L2 Cache 15MB L3 Cache LGA 2011-3 140W Server Processor

I have read that some processors will have a limited life support under Win10 rolling upgrades. Due to the robust architecture of this system, I cant seem to determine if:

Windows will support this processor

What the expected EoL for this processor support would be

Any help in determining if the hardware configuration component above is supported would be greatly appreciated.
