Intel is already benchmarking its response to the AMD Ryzen-based AMD Naples processors, the Intel Xeon E5 2699, a really huge processor for servers and workstations.
AMD Naples processors, the professional version of AMD Ryzen, hit the market to compete with Intel Xeon processors. Intel has no intention of not competing for such an important and strategic segment as DataCenters, servers and others and for that reason, to respond to the 5-core AMD Naples processor, it has prepared the Intel Xeon E2699 XNUMX of sixteen cores and thirty-two processing threads and has let it be seen on Geekbench.
This monstrous processor will be compatible with the LGA 3647 socket and as we have mentioned, it will have sixteen cores and thirty-two processing threads under a 14nm architecture. The Xeon E5 2699 will have a working frequency of 2.3Ghz, as we can in the Geekbench capture. The processor obtained no less than 3.526 points in single-thread and 49.647 in multi-thread. This is a huge score, but of course, it is not intended for common computers, it is intended for professional servers or Workstations that must move a large amount of data.
We are not talking about a processor for common mortals, far from it. We do not know when this processor will be available, but it will surely arrive during Computex 2017, which will be held in Taipei between May 30 and June 3. On the price we do not have data, but from € 6000 it is difficult for this new Intel processor to lower.

aammm!!! how will it compete directly with Naples or does the announced Ryzen “R7 1950X” with 16c/32t belong to Naples!??
It won't compete at all with the Ryzen 7 1950X, as they are for very different uses. We assume that Naples will compete in power.
