e3-1200 v4 Product FamIly

The New Data Center Graphics Powerhouse

Visual content is increasing in our digital world. According to
a 2014 report by Sandvine, video delivery will account for 79

percent of Internet trac by 2018.

networking are driving this growth, yet data center graphics
are also playing an increasing role in business, changing the
way products are designed and sold, data is analyzed, and
information is shared. Engineering work once done only on a
deskside workstation is now being moved to the data center
with complex 3D applications being delivered remotely to end

devices. This enables better collaboration and oers increased

security as data is stored in secure data centers.

This transition is impacting both the volume and characteristics
of data center workloads. There is a growing need to deliver
high quality video and complex 3D applications faster and at
lower total cost.

Enter the Intel® Xeon® processor E3-1200 v4 product
family. With up to 1.8x the overall graphics performance of
the previous-generation,
quality visual experiences with up to 1.4x more video trans­coding performance per node and up to 4,300 simultaneous
HD video streams per rack than the previous generation
Intel® Xeon® processor E3-1200 v3 product family.

Data Center Graphics

Great HD Video Transcode Performance

Media service providers require transcode solutions with

cost-ecient, dense designs and optimized performance to

support real-time, multi-stream delivery of HD video. A data
center graphics server based on the Intel Xeon processor
E3-1200 v4 product family does just that.

These processors can support up to 1.4x more transcodes
per processor than the previous generation Intel® Xeon®
processor E3-1200 v3 family.
content on demand—as well as live broadcasting and video­conferencing—to more users with a smaller data center
footprint and lower power consumption.

For developers of video transcoding software, Intel® Media
Server Studio gives you state-of-the-art encoding features for
tailoring image quality versus performance, and for simplifying
media application development. This comprehensive suite of
development tools supports both Linux* and Windows.* It also
provides access to the Intel Iris Pro graphics and Intel® Quick
Sync Video media accelerators for high-speed media transcode.

You can deliver high-quality

The tight integration of compute and graphics in the same pro­cessor increases performance and density, while reducing power
consumption and data movement. The result is another leap
forward in graphics capability that can help you deliver better
user experiences at lower cost for graphics-intensive workloads.

Rich Applications for Demanding Users

Design and manufacturing companies need simpler and more
secure ways to share complex 3D application data across global
design, sales, and service teams. Remote workstations provide
a solution: Keep your critical design data in a centralized data
center and deliver rich, responsive, 3D applications, such as CAD
design applications, over local and wide-area networks to any
user on any device at any location.

Intel® Xeon® Processor E3 Family with Intel® Iris™ Pro Graphics P6300

Generational Performance Gains

With the Intel Xeon processor E3-1200 v4 family, you can
provide workstation-class visual experiences cost eectively
to hundreds or even thousands of users. Intel® Graphics
Virtualization Technologies (GVT) allow you to dedicate the
resources of each processor to a single designer or engineer,
or share them among hundreds of less demanding users.
