Intel's Xeon E5-2687W v3 processor reviewed @ TR

This seems good.

If you thought Haswell-E was something, wait til you get a load of the EP variant. This server-grade monster has up to 18 cores and 45MB of L3 cache, plus quad DDR4 memory channels and loads of high-speed I/O. We've taken a closer look at the new Xeon family and tested a dual-socket workstation loaded with the 10-core E5-2687W v3 derivative.

I have just started messing with the Core i7 5960X and so far I am really impressed.  Not sure I could handle an 18 core processor, of it that would even be viable in the real world outside a datacenter.
