Xeon E5-2600 V2 Price List: Ivy Bridge-EP

[lutjens]

Im disapointed, no 150W TDP 12 core 3.1Ghz Xeon E5-2699W v2, now i need only be satisfied of 130W TDP 2.7Ghz Xeon E5-2697 v2
Why Intel, Why!

Simple answer is that Intel sees all 12 cores going into servers, particularly dense racks, and few rackmount servers have any interest in a CPU that has a TDP of 150W.

Personally, I really don't care at what speed they clock the top bin 12 core, its price, its TDP, or what model number they decide to call it. All I want is to have the damn things unlocked!!
