Unusually for a family of CPUs aimed at business use, all five of the new CPUs are equipped with integrated GPUs. All based on Broadwell architecture, the E3-1200 v4 family adds features not found on its consumer Core processors, such as support for ECC memory and a variety of virtualisation features including VT-d and GVT graphics virtualisation. On the server and workstation side of things, Intel unwrapped its Xeon E3-1200 v4 range.
We suspect that these BGA CPUs may begin to surface in a variety of all-in-one PCs and perhaps even Apple’s forthcoming refresh of its iMac range. Interestingly, though, the five-strong range only includes two LGA-socketed CPUs, the overclockable 3.1GHz Core i7-5675C and the 3.3GHz Core i7-5775C: the other three BGA processors in the line-up are intended to be soldered permanently to a motherboard. Otherwise known by its codename, Crystal Well, that huge 128MB L4 cache is a portion of ultra-high-speed eDRAM designed to both improve GPU performance and system memory efficiency. This five-strong array of consumer-class quad-core CPUs sticks with the same 14nm process introduced by the rest of the Broadwell range, but Intel has packed each of the CPUs with an Iris Pro 6200 integrated GPU, 6MB of 元 cache and a whopping 128MB of L4 cache. After delivering its Ultrabook-class Broadwell CPUs way back in January, Intel has finally taken the wraps off of its long-overdue desktop Broadwell range.
