Intel introduces several Xeon E3-1200 v5 series processors from the Skylake generation, suitable for the construction of a station for professional use. The Xeon E3-1200 v5 series includes eleven models, three of which have four cores/four threads, and eight four cores / eight threads.
As before, we are dealing with support for 2-channel DDR3L-1600 and DDR4-2133 memory, but in addition, support for the ECC function is provided. It is also worth paying attention to the E3-12 models×5 with integrated graphics core, as well as versions marked L with reduced TDP. Below you will find the exact specifications of the new processors..
| Model | Cores / Threads | Clock frequency | L3 | Graphics | TDP | price |

| Xeon E3-1230 v5 | 4 / 8 | 3,4 / 3,8 GHz | 8 MB | – | 80 AT | $250 |
| Xeon E3-1225 v5 | 4 / 4 | 3,3 / 3,7 GHz | 8 MB | HD P530 | 80 AT | $213 |
| Xeon E3-1220 v5 | 4 / 4 | 3,0 / 3,5 GHz | 8 MB | – | 80 AT | $193 |
Although processors Xeon E3-1200 v5 physically fit into an LGA socket 1151, they can only be run on motherboards with server platforms based on Intel C232 and C236 (the manufacturer has blocked support for drives with civil and business series chipsets 100).
Intel boasts of, what new chips offer even on 118% better performance in typical smart card tests and 116% in graphic tests compared to analogues from the generation Xeon E3-1200 v2 "Ivy Bridge".
New processors will soon go on sale in tray and box versions (box will be a few dollars more expensive), but experts are still looking forward to compatible motherboards with C232 and C236 chipsets.
