What the Xeon E3-1585 v5 is
The Xeon E3-1585 v5 brings Skylake to BGA 1440 for fast compact nodes with Iris Pro graphics. It launched in May 2016 with a 3.5 GHz base and up to 3.9 GHz boost at 65 W. Intel targets small stations that need four fast cores with ECC on one chip.
Eight megabytes of Smart Cache carry office work and creation. The high base clock keeps apps responsive. Eight threads cover foreground tasks plus background services.
Iris Pro Graphics P580 at up to 1.15 GHz drive panels and external monitors. The process is 14 nm. The multiplier is locked. DDR4 in two channels feeds CPU and graphics with up to 64 GB and ECC.
Buyers choose the board at order time with memory size and port tier. The 65 W rating suits compact boxes with strong airflow. Quick Sync Video speeds transcodes where licensed.
Socket and motherboard compatibility
The Xeon E3-1585 v5 is soldered to the board on BGA 1440 and cannot be replaced. Upgrading means replacing the board or the whole node, so choose memory and ports at purchase. Boards pair the chip with SODIMM slots for ECC and display outputs.
BGA 1440 boards wire PCIe, SATA and USB per node design. LGA workstations cannot take this BGA chip. The LGA, PGA and BGA: CPU package types explained guide explains soldered packages.
Single socket nodes are the deployment. Growth means more BGA 1440 nodes rather than a chip swap. Service follows the board manual.
Memory, PCIe and cooling
DDR4 in two channels up to 64 GB suits fast stations with SSDs. Matched pairs help Iris Pro graphics. Start with 16 GB for office use.
PCIe 3.0 with 16 lanes from the CPU serves NVMe and NICs. Most builds rely on Iris Pro and skip discrete graphics. Chipset lanes add extra storage.
Cooling has no retail mount pattern because the chip is soldered. Vendors design heatsinks for 65 W classes. Keep vents clear. ECC guards memory.
Upgrade paths
On the same package, the Intel Xeon E3-1585L v5 trims to 3.0 GHz base at 45 W for slimmer boxes. The Intel Xeon E3-1575M v5 gives notebook workstations similar clocks at 45 W. Both share BGA 1440 silicon.
Entry Intel Xeon E3-1558L v5 drops to 1.9 GHz base for video nodes. It needs node boards.
Past fast nodes move to Kaby Lake-H parts. The E3-1585 v5 covers 2016 stations where four fast cores with ECC must deploy.
