It has the lowest power consumption in the E5-4600 family

Intel is always working on some new CPU, some of them so interesting that it might make people wish they weren't restricted to a specific, narrow industry field. The Xeon E5-4624L v2 might be one such case.

After all, the chip is said to be the one with the lowest power consumption in the E5-460 v2 family, and it also has a large L3 cache memory (25 MB) and 10 CPU cores.

So one could understand why some would wish it weren't restricted to the embedded market. Nonetheless, that is precisely the case.

Anyway, the chip has a core clock of 1.9 GHz, hyper-threading (20 threads at one), a QPI interface with 3 QPI links (8 GT/s bandwidth), Intel 64 and Virtualization technology, pretty much everything that comes with being an Ivy Bridge-EP 4S processor.

Finally, the TDP (thermal design power) is of 70W. Sales will begin at some point this quarter (Q1 2014).
