"Intel has announced the latest revision to it's Enterprise CPU range. The Xeon E7 v2 is based on Ivy Bridge rather than the aging Westmere, and specifically targets the Big Data Analytics market. In pursuit of this they've bumped up the core count to 15, reduced power consumption, reworked the cache, and included a long list of smaller improvements. The end result is a high-reliability chip that uses less power but has dramatically improved performance for most workloads.
A single-page version of the article is available here."

Maybe a general logic main controller PPE and 15 SPE subcores?
All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die.

The cores are more or less equal to each other and attached to a high speed ring bus which is also their interface to the L3 cache and beyond.
