Real-time business intelligence is a top priority for companies
across the full spectrum of industries, from healthcare to retail
to telecommunications, among others. The need to rapidly extract
actionable insight from large volumes of data is driving demand for
new technologies for in-memory computing and big data analytics.
Considering the current and future demand for in-memory computing,
Gartner believes that revenue in this market will exceed $9.5
billion by year-end 2018, and at least 50 percent of large
organizations will adopt in-memory computing to enable digital
business strategies1.
The Intel Xeon processor E7 v3 family helps customers to
securely process and analyze massive data sets in system memory for
faster decision-making and improved operational efficiency, giving
companies a competitive edge.
“In the digital services economy, success or failure can depend
on how quickly businesses act on insight from vast stores of data,”
said Diane Bryant, senior vice president and general manager of the
Data Center Group at Intel. “The Intel Xeon processor E7 v3 family
is the engine for accelerating business intelligence through
real-time analytics, enabling businesses to improve customer
satisfaction through more personalized products and services,
generate new revenue streams and enhance operational
efficiency.”
News Facts
- With 20 new performance world records
across a broad range of mission-critical applications, the new
processor family achieves a 40 percent average performance
improvement compared to the prior generation2.
- The processor family delivers up to 6x
improvement in business processing application performance for
in-memory transactional workloads3 optimized with the new Intel®
Transactional Synchronization Extensions (Intel® TSX).
- With up to 18 cores, a 20 percent
increase in cores compared to the prior generation, and up to 45

to 70 percent more decision support analytic sessions per
hour4.
- Product family delivers up to 10x
greater performance per dollar while driving up to an 85 percent
lower total cost of ownership compared to alternative RISC
architectures5 by reducing the cost of hardware acquisition and
power and cooling.

capabilities, including increased cryptographic performance via the
latest Intel® Advanced Encryption Standard New Instructions (Intel®
AES-NI), as well as additional micro-architectural
improvements. Intel® Run Sure Technology, a unique set of
reliability, availability and serviceability (RAS) features for the
Intel Xeon processor E7 family8, is enhanced with new features
designed to further ensure “five nines” availability for
mission-critical applications.
- Product family comprises 12 processor
models, including multiple segment optimized processors such as two
high-frequency models that are designed for a subset of database
applications requiring the fastest cores available.
- Starting today, 17 system manufacturers
from around the world will begin announcing Intel Xeon processor E7
v3 family-based platforms. These manufacturers include Bull*,
Cisco*, Dell*, Fujitsu*, Hitachi*, HP*, Huawei*, Inspur*, Lenovo*,
NEC*, Oracle*, PowerLeader*, Quanta*, SGI*, Sugon*, Supermicro* and
ZTE*.
- (Editor’s note: Intel and Cloudera
today announced details on how the partnership is successfully
driving enterprise adoption of analytics at scale, including new
product enhancement such as the implementation of Intel AES-NI that
delivers a 2.5x improvement9 in encryption off-load
performance, enabling an entire Hadoop data set to be encrypted
with a system overhead ranging from 1 to 4 percent depending on the
workload10.)
Transforming Businesses through Real-Time Analytics
Nippon Paint, one of the largest paint suppliers in Asia, is
currently using Intel Xeon processor E7 v2 running SAP HANA
in-memory analytics software to capture consumer behaviors with
greater accuracy and accelerate its ability to analyze and act on
data for optimized supply chain and marketing campaigns.
“Through real-time analytics, Nippon Paint is able to capture
and analyze customer preferences such as colors, design styles and
designers, and tailor products and services to specific customer
needs,” said Justin Chen, CIO, Nippon Paint. “Actionable data that
used to take days and weeks to analyze and report on is now
available in near real time. We’re currently testing with new Intel
Xeon processor E7 v3-based systems to take advantage of the higher
performance and reliability features to further accelerate
data-driven customer insight.”
Pricing Details
The Intel Xeon processor E7 v3 product family will be offered
with 12 different processor models that range in price from $1,224
to $7,175 in quantities of 1,000. Complete pricing details are
