Intel Readies a 5.1 GHz Xeon Chip Based on the "Broadwell" Architecture

I suppose if they don't have an iGPU in there it would clock higher than the "normal" i7's? Anyone think this is a response to Zen news?

Pretty much exactly this - and if they pick the four cores specifically then they will pick the furthest apart in order to spread the thermal load.

That is a very good point, I wonder how Intel and AMD are going to combat the increasing density of transistors and subsequent heat build up and dissipation. Are we likely to see bigger chips with cores separated?
 
It's good to see that they will at least offer some power hungry but highly clocked chips. It would be even better for the enthusiasts if they made some of these products available to the community just as a halo product. As it stands pretty much everyone gets standard Ford range they don't even sell an RS, a few buy the ST (5960X) ;)
