Intel Bets Heavily on Integrated Iris Pro Graphics with Xeon E3-1200 V4
A breakdown of the architecture of Intel Xeon E3-1200 V4
Graphics performance benchmarks of Intel Xeon E3-1200 V4, according to Intel.
Last month, at Computex in Taipei, Taiwan, Intel gave attendees a peek at its upcoming processors, including the new Xeon E3-1200 V4 family for the professional market. As he presented the new lineup in a keynote, Kirk Skaugen, senior VP and GM of the client computing division, hailed Intel Xeon products as “processors that power more than 90% of the world’s data centers.”
Featuring Intel’s Iris Pro integrated graphics, the Xeon E3-1200 V4 processors are a countermeasure against the encroachment of discrete graphics vendors. Skaugen said, “Intel is beyond CPU performance. We’ve been working on graphics and imaging over the last few years.”
For graphics-intensive applications, gamers, engineers, visual artists, and content creators often augment their hardware’s processing power with GPUs, a market dominated by NVIDIA and AMD.
By incorporating graphics-boosting features right into the processor architecture, Intel hopes to entice those users to rely less on discrete graphics cards.
Skaugen pointed out, “Integrated graphics have a lower bill of materials, smaller footprint, and lower power envelope.” In its product sheet for Xeon E3-1200 V4, Intel writes, “The tight integration of compute and graphics in the same processor increases performance and density, while reducing power consumption and data movement.”
In a podcast that aired shortly after Computex, Jim Blakley, Intel’s GM for visual cloud computing, pointed out that the Xeon E3-1200 V4 offers “substantial performance over previous generations.” He added, “We get up to almost 2x in graphics improvement overall, almost 2x in media processing and video transcoding.” The improvement is expected to produce “very good user experience for remote workstation kinds of applications,” according to Blakley. He singled out “3D rendering, 3D composition, virtual reality, collecting videos and turning it into 3D representations” as operations that can benefit from integrated graphics (”Advancing Cloud Graphics w/ the new Intel Xeon Processor E3-1200 v4 – Intel Chip Chat – Episode 390,” June 10, 2015).
According to Intel’s own published benchmarks, E3-1200 V4 with Iris Pro Graphics P6300 offers 1.8x graphics performance compared to E3-1200 V3 with HD P4600 graphics.
If Intel’s integrated Iris Pro offers visualization comparable to what users currently get from the combination of CPU and professional GPU, the new CPUs can disrupt the workstation and server markets. But the professional application developers’ ability to harvest the full power of Iris Pro is a critical factor. Reaping computational benefits from the NVIDIA GPUs is made possible by software makers’ willingness to embrace NVIDIA’s CUDA parallel programming language.
Those who plan to deploy remote workstations can expect to benefit from Intel Graphics Virtualization Technology (GVT), which allows administrators to dedicate and distribute resources from the processors to remote workers as they see fit. GPU maker NVIDIA is also aggressively pursuing the virtual workstation market with its own NVIDIA Grid products.
(For more, read “Don’t Install—Stream!,” November 6, 2013).
Xeon E3-1200 V4 is based on Intel’s fifth generation Broadwell microarchitecture. The sixth generation microarchitecture codenamed Skylake is expected to debut at Gamescon in September.
Intel Xeon processors. Lineup «Spring — Summer 2013» / Habr
It’s hard to imagine a concept more related to Intel than «processor». At one time, having had a hand in the emergence of this class of devices on the mass market, now Intel is spending no less effort on their continuous improvement. As a result of these titanic efforts, there is a regular change of generations of processors: everyone probably knows about “tic-tac”. Let’s, however, fix the picture and take a look at the entire processor range — on what principle is it built? Let’s start with the Intel Xeon server processors.
The Intel Xeon line dates back to the days of the Pentium II. Historically, they were built on the same microarchitectures as desktop processors, with the addition of server-specific features such as multiprocessor support, increased cache, extended instruction set support, and so on.
If we talk about the current Xeons from the point of view of the platform, then we get a rather interesting picture.
However, if you think about it, the situation when three families of Xeons are so scattered across the Intel technology line does not seem strange. Server processors are much more complicated than desktop processors, it takes a long time to develop and implement those very specific features, and the more of them, the longer. That’s why the simplest E3 «jumped» the farthest; with them we will begin the analysis of Xeon by families.
Intel Xeon E3
The current Intel Xeon E3 line is represented by E3-12xx v.2 models (note v.2, v.1 were built on Sandy Bridge). Their main purpose is budget single-socket servers, as well as embedded systems that are not too demanding on computing resources. The line includes models with reduced power consumption (they have an L index), the E3-1220L, which is slaughtered in all respects, but super energy-efficient, stands somewhat apart, we will exclude it from further review.
In general, the picture looks like this. Processors E3-12xx v.2 have a frequency of 3.1 to 3.7 GHz, 4 cores and hyperthreading (except for the younger 122x models — they are not hyperthreaded). All have 8 MB cache, Turbo Boost support. There are two channels to the memory, the frequency is up to 1600 MHz, the maximum amount is up to 32 GB. The quintuple-ended processors have an integrated graphics core Intel HD Graphics P4000 (the E3-1265L model has Intel HD Graphics 2500). All processors support VT-x/VT-d virtualization technologies, Trusted execution and the latest version of SpeedStep. For greater clarity, let’s draw a summary table of the main parameters for three processors from different ends of the line. You will find a complete comparison table on the well-known site ark.intel.com.
| E3-1290v2 | E3-1270v2 | E3-1220v2 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Clock frequency, GHz | 3.7 | 3.5 | 3.1 |
| Frequency with Turbo boost, GHz | 4. 1 |
3.9 | 3.5 |
| Number of cores/threads | 4/8 | 4/8 | 4/4 |
| Cache memory, Mb | 8 | 8 | 8 |
| Max. memory size, GB | 32 | 32 | 32 |
| Number of memory channels | 2 | 2 | 2 |
| Max. calc. power, W | 87 | 69 | 69 |
| Ref. cost, $ | 885 | 328 | 189 |
We emphasize once again that E3 processors are not used in multiprocessor systems.
Intel Xeon E5
The E5 line looks more colorful. This is due to the fact that E5 is the main «workhorse» of Intel for servers, its areas of application are diverse, so a greater spread of parameters is required. E5 processors are divided into three large groups: from bottom to top — E5-24xx, E5-26xx, E5-46xx.
E5-24xx, E5-26xx — processors for two-socket servers, E5-46xx — for four-socket. In order not to get lost in the numbers, let’s immediately draw up a summary table, it includes two processors from each group — the top and the «smallest».
| E5-2403 | E5-2470 | E5-2603 | E5-2690 | E5-4603 | E5-4650 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Clock frequency, GHz | 1.8 | 2.3 | 1.8 | 2.9 | 2 | 2.7 |
| Frequency with Turbo boost, GHz | 3.1 | 3.8 | 3.3 | |||
| Cores/Threads | 4/4 | 8/16 | 4/4 | 8/16 | 4/8 | 8/16 |
| Cache memory, Mb | 10 | 20 | 10 | 20 | 10 | 20 |
| Number of connections QPI | 1 | 1 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 2 |
| System bus speed | 6. 4 |
8 | 6.4 | 8 | 6.4 | 8 |
| Scalable | 2 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 4 | 4 |
| Max. memory size, GB | 375 | 375 | 750 | 750 | 1500 | 1500 |
| Number of memory channels | 3 | 3 | 4 | 4 | 4 | 4 |
| Max. calc. power, W | 80 | 95 | 80 | 135 | 95 | 130 |
| Ref. cost, $ | 188 | 1440 | 198 | 2057 | 551 | 3616 |
Let’s ask ourselves one practical, and, probably, important question for someone: what is the best processor to use in entry-level servers? That is, how much more efficient is the E5 processor than E3 (the first has more cores, the second has a higher frequency)? And what will be the performance gain when adding a second E5? Intel has already measured everything.
In all tests, the result is approximately the same: a one and a half increase when replacing E3 with E5 and a double increase when the number of processors is doubled. By the way, switching to 4 sockets will give the same linear effect.
If you want to get a more compact performance system, I advise you to pay attention to the E5-26xx series, suitable for almost any task — it’s not for nothing that Intel calls it the mainstream. A feature of this series is two QPI lines for two processors; thus the two system sockets communicate at twice the standard speeds.
Red shows changes compared to the previous generation
Intel Xeon E7
E7 processors are also represented by three families: E7-28xx, E7-48xx, E7-88xx. As you might guess, the first for two-, the second for four-, and the third for eight-socket systems. Here is a summary table compiled according to a similar principle as for E5.
| E7-2803 | E7-2870 | E7-4807 | E7-4870 | E7-8830 | E7-8870 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Clock frequency, GHz | 1. 73 |
2.4 | 1.86 | 2.4 | 2.13 | 2.4 |
| Frequency with Turbo boost, GHz | 2.8 | 2.8 | 2.4 | 2.8 | ||
| Cores/Threads | 6/12 | 10/20 | 6/12 | 10/20 | 8/16 | 10/20 |
| Cache memory, Mb | 18 | 30 | 18 | 30 | 24 | 30 |
| Number of QPI connections | 1 | 1 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 2 |
| System bus speed | 4.8 | 6.4 | 4.8 | 6.4 | 6.4 | 6.4 |
| Scalable | 2 | 2 | 4 | 4 | 8 | 8 |
| Max. memory size, GB | 1024 | 1024 | 2048 | 2048 | 4096 | 4096 |
| Number of memory channels | 4 | 4 | 4 | 4 | 4 | 4 |
Max. calc. power, W |
105 | 130 | 95 | 130 | 105 | 130 |
| Ref. cost, $ | 774 | 4227 | 890 | 4394 | 2280 | 4616 |
Noteworthy is the low frequency of top processors compared to other classes (note that it is the same in all families), as well as the reduced speed of the system bus. E7 is definitely taken not by number, but by skill — it makes sense to write a separate post about them (skills). Although the number is also — the number of cores. Using E7 allows you to achieve the highest density of processors per system — 8. At the same time, as we know, the QPI bus is routable, so the processor has the ability to exchange data not only with neighboring «colleagues», but with everyone.
As we’ve already seen, the E7 family is the oldest of Intel’s current server offerings, and is just now turning two years old.
That is why it is safe to assume that E7 is the first contender for an update, and this event is most likely not far off.
To change or not to change?
Another pressing question that forces specialists to delve into processor specifications is whether it makes sense to upgrade the platform in the light of the tasks being solved? In conclusion of the conversation about Intel Xeon, I will give some facts and figures on this subject using the E5 as an example.
What has changed in the new generation of Xeon processors compared to the previous one, and how much faster are they? First of all, we note the trend towards the integration of controllers responsible for input-output on the processor chip. Embedded I/O solution
Intel Integrated I/O reduced data latency by 30%; Intel Data Direct I/O technology (direct transfer of I/O directly to/from the processor cache, bypassing the main memory, for all types of traffic) gave more than a twofold increase in speed.
You can also get the same twofold increase in speed if you switch to PCIe 3.0. By the way, reducing the load on memory significantly reduces its power consumption; in general, the new platform is 70% more energy efficient than the previous one.
Thus, if you are already experiencing a lack of resources or they are slowly but surely coming to an end, switching to a new generation will solve your problem. Well, we will definitely return to the conversation about Intel Xeon in the blog.

The Intel Xeon E3-1225 v5 features low power consumption, high performance and integrated graphics, a rarity in server processors
Xeon E3-1200 v5 based on the Skylake microarchitecture. Released processors are distinguished by improved performance, increased clock speeds, support for modern DDR4 memory and even, in some cases, an integrated graphics core, which is not quite typical for server processors.

However, of the eleven Greenlow CPUs, only four have integrated graphics.
The hero of our today’s review, the Intel Xeon E3-1225 v5 processor, is just the happy owner of an integrated video card in the face of the HD P530, operating at a clock frequency of 350 MHz. Note that the Intel Xeon E3-1225 v5 is one of the younger models in the Xeon E3-1200 v5 series.
What are the specifications of the Intel Xeon E3-1225 v5 processor? The model has four cores (with four threads) running at a clock frequency of 3.3 GHz. In turbo mode, the frequency can be increased up to 3.7 GHz. The cache of the third level has a volume of 8 MB. The thermal package of the processor is 80 watts. It should be noted that in the Xeon E3-1200 v5 line there are models with low power consumption, and they are specially marked with the letter L. So, the Intel Xeon E3-1235L v5 model has a TDP of 25 W, however, and the base clock frequency of this processor is only 2 GHz . But back to our model. It does not have compatibility with the Hyper-Threading function, but it does support AES, AVX2 and TSX instructions.
In addition to the ability to work with DDR4-2133 memory, the processor has the ability to work with DDR3L-1600 memory sticks.
As for the integrated Intel HD Graphics 530, it has 24 units, but it does not have a dedicated EDRAM graphics memory, which is why the video card accesses the processor’s system memory. The integrated video decoder of the board is able to decode the H.265-/HEVC video stream completely in the Hardware mode, which is more efficient, as you understand. The image is output via the DP 1.2/EDP 1.3 interface with a maximum resolution of 3840×2160 @60 Hz or via the HDMI version 1.4a interface. DirectX 12 is supported. Three connected monitors can be controlled simultaneously. The Intel HD Graphics 530 graphics solution can be used not only in desktop, but also in mobile systems.
