Intel's server CPU portfolio just got a little more diversified and complex with the launch of the Intel Xeon E3-1200 V4 at Computex 2015. It is basically the same chip as the Core i7 "Broadwell" desktop that Ian reviewed yesterday: inside we find Broadwell cores and the new Crystal Well based Iris Pro GPU baked with Intel's state-of-the-art 14 nm process. The Xeon enables ECC RAM support, VT-D and PCI-passthrough, something that the desktops chips obviously lack.

But the current line-up of the Xeon E3-1200 v4 based upon Broadwell is not a simple replacement for the current Xeon E3 1200 v3 "Haswell", which we tested a few months ago. Traditionally, the Xeon E3 was about either workstations or all kinds of low-end servers.
