Intel Corporation today announced the Intel Xeon processor E7-8800/4800 v3 product families. Xeon E7 v3 chips boast up to 18 dual-threaded cores and up to 45MB of L3 cache.

The launch shows many new processors all based on the flagship Xeon part which is a beast in terms of specifications that include 18 cores, 45 MB of L3 cache, a die size of 662 mm2 and a total of 5.6 billion transistors.

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 strategies.
