Where are the Xeon Skylake Reviews?

I have been able to buy Intel Xeon E3-12XX v5 SkyLake at Newegg for quite a long time now. Why are there NO reviews anywhere? I thought you guys get stuff first, or at least publish the reviews on product launch/availability day. Is intel not providing them to thus complete with it's other Skylake processors and their fake "shortage" profit fest?

My guess would be that its because the Xeon CPUs are more workstation/server oriented than desktop use, thus why no one has reviews on them.


That, and mobo chipsets for the new Skylake Xeon's are also way limited. Not like in the past where you could get an enthusist board and run a Xeon on it, think the Skylake's are limited to Cxxx chipsets.


I'll leave the official answer up to Nate, but I'm just guessing/assuming. :)

yeah, 14 years of running LR and we've only had one Xeon CPU review. Not enough staff and funding to cover it all!
