Skylake, a ‘tock’ in Intel’s ‘tick-tock’ processor release cycle, is a major microarchitecture redesign (Broadwell, a ‘tick’, is a refinement of its predecessor Haswell), so this would make perfect sense. This could mean the likes of Dell, Lenovo and HP skip the delayed Broadwell Xeon E3-1200 altogether, in favour of Intel Skylake, which is rumoured to be out soon.

We expect this list may grow as Intel ramps up deployment of its Iris Pro Graphics P6300-based CPUs.Įven though Intel announced the ‘Broadwell’ Xeon E3-1200 v4 CPU at the beginning of June, there has been no news since of any workstations with this chip. Intel told DEVELOP3D that it is currently working with “all the leaders” in the CAD market to get the new Iris Pro Graphics P6300 certified, but did not specify which applications.Ĭertifications for the Intel HD Graphics P4600 currently include Autodesk Inventor, PTC Creo, DS SolidWorks, Siemens NX and Solid Edge.

It will need to demonstrate that its graphics technology not only delivers smooth interactive 3D graphics, but also stability and full support for the features on offer in modern CAD applications.

While raw performance is essential for 3D CAD, Intel will know it still has a job to do to match the years of investment both AMD and Nvidia have in driver development. By doubling the performance and essentially giving Iris Pro Graphics P6300 away free with the new Xeon CPU, Intel hopes to grab a bigger slice of the entry-level to mid-range graphics sector, which is a sweet spot for CAD.ĪMD and Nvidia, whose professional AMD FirePro and Nvidia Quadro graphics cards are used extensively in workstations and servers, will be watching closely. Intel HD graphics P4600 was first embedded in Xeon chips in 2012 and is widely regarded as being for entry-level 3D CAD. Intel is starting to take professional graphics very seriously with a new embedded graphics technology that it claims almost doubles the performance of the one it replaces.Īccording to the chip giant, whose CPUs are used in virtually all workstations, the new generation ‘Broadwell’ Intel Xeon E3-1200 v4 processor with Intel Iris Pro Graphics P6300 can deliver up to 1.8 times the 3D graphics performance of the previous generation Intel Xeon E3-1200 v3 with Intel HD graphics P4600. Intel will be targeting users of 3D CAD applications, such as DS SolidWorks
