Intel Xeon Processor D 1500 Product Family Thermal/Mechanical Specification and Design Guide

Want to geek out and dive deeper into Xeon D-1500 Processor cooling? How does 82 pages of images and descriptions sound? I nearly stubbed my toe when I stumbled across this beast on the internet today. Gives you a sense of what OEMs like Supermicro, Gigabyte, and ASRock go through when creating a PCB/motherboard for this 14nm darling to comfortably live on.

It's not just a processor, it's a SoC (System on a Chip). Cramming more and more functionality onto the CPU die is clearly the way Intel is heading, with substantial benefits in efficiency (45 Watts for eight-core Xeon D-1540/1541) and capability (2x1GbE and 2x10GbE networking, 128GB of RAM).

It would seem this PDF showing up just in time for Intel's Fall 2015 announcements about the growing Xeon D family was no coincidence, encouraging more OEMs to learn how to adopt their new baby.

Prime95 keeps things interesting. You think cooling might be important, at times like these? Remember, Xeon D-1500 can get more threads executed per time period than Skylake Core i7 at half the watts. Remember, it may have lower GHz, but it has twice the cores.
