Xeon D-1587/1581/1577/1571 16 Core CPU full specs found at Intel ARK, 12 Core 1567 looks the most interesting

It began with my article two days ago:

• Intel Xeon D-1500 full specs for new 8/12/16 core models now available at Supermicro, good fit for home labs?

where I had this little pre-formed search link for you,

• All Intel® Xeon® Processor D-15xx models

but the results didn't show any of the new 12 and 16 core Xeon D-1500 CPUs quite yet.

Well, that's apparently all changed today, with all the 16 core models now detailed. What do you notice?

1. What's this Xeon D-1581? Nobody has mentioned this model before, see Google search for xeon d-1581, pictured at right.
2. Why are both 12 core models, the Xeon D-1557 and Xeon D-1558, missing?
3. Where's pricing?

The Xeon D-1581 is detailed below, and surprisingly, it's got a 0.1 GHz faster base clock than the Xeon-D1587 that STH just benchmarked. That appears to be the only difference. I suspect questions 2 and 3 will be cleared up before long.

What's the best way to quickly see today's current 8 core models compared to all the upcoming 16 core models? Here you go!

The suprise model of most interest to me is the 12 core Xeon D-1567 that has only recently surfaced, see also the wonderful table of processors at:

• Intel Xeon D-1500 Series Official Specs D-1557 and D-1567 Updates

Why is it a suprise, and why is it of interest? Well, turns out the GHz don't drop from the Xeon D-1541, that's why. It's 4 more cores, at no decrease in speed per core. Now we're talking more VMs, without the penalty.

To re-cap:

• Xeon D-1541 08 cores, 2.1 GHz / 2.7 GHz Turbo, 45 Watts
• Xeon D-1567 12 cores, 2.1 GHz / 2.7 GHz Turbo, 65 Watts

Given the ARK listings weren't complete when I wrote this article, time to update the listing above. Done!

Unfortunately, the Xeon D-1567 is apparently not even a part of Supermicro's recently Xeon D-1500 line-up:

• Supermicro Solutions based on Intel® Xeon®-D processors

Here's what they did announce:
