New E5-x6xx v3 series - Ark info incomplete?

[ROles1]

I was thrilled to see the new Xeon CPU series come out today, so I made a Comparison via Ark, as usual, to check what I need to get

- Power that matches the enthusiast CPUs 5930/5960x

- ...But has ECC support since I will be doing scientific computing part-time on my planned E5-16xx system,

So as expected the 1650v3 and 1660v3 is the right ones for me (for now).

But looking under Instruction sets I see just AVX?

Surely this is a mistake right?...The E5-x6xx series has both AVX2, SSE4.2 and AES onboard, correct?

Even on the specific page, it also only mentions AVX,

I am asking cause I was told, we will be trying to take advantage of AVX 2.0, so it would be more than just nice-to-know.

Intel SSE is supported. Please take a look into section 1.1.2, page 15 of the datasheet.

I appreciate you provided this information so we can take this opportunity to improve the information provided by http://ark.intel.com/ ark.intel.com

Thanks Joe, I saw both SSE4.2 and AES-NI being supported there even if it was a datasheet for the v1 or v2 (was from 2012).

This leaves AVX 2.0 which is not mentioned in the datasheet as it is for the older E5's. Does the E5 v3 series have that onboard yet?

2+ sources claims that the E5 v3 has AVX 2.0,

I can see AES is listed for the processor models you mentioned above.

All Intel® processors support Intel® SSE nowadays because it is a fundamental part of our architecture.

I am sorry; I did not realize the document above was for older v1 Intel® Xeon processors.

I will try to investigate further as I can see the datasheet for v3 Intel® Xeon processors is not yet available.
