"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."

I can't tell from the article - do all 15 core have their own FPU or did they copy AMD and share FPUs between multiple cores? That's great for databases but not so good for HPC, but then again many HPC systems will have GPUs for hardcore math.
