As always, rumors should be taken with a grain of salt, and as this one likely will not affect consumers, it may not matter too much if it is true or not. Supposedly Intel is going to be launching its E5-2600 V4 Xeon family of CPUs with one processor having a default clock of 5.1 GHz. According to the rumor, its model number is E5-2602 V4 and will be a quadcore chip with 10 MB of L3 cache and a TDP of 165 W.

If you are thinking that this could be a fun processor to upgrade to, if the rumor is true, there is more to the rumor that may disappoint you. The CPU is not destined for the consumer market and might even be limited to a specific customer, the NSA. Even if the processor does exist, there is a good chance it would never come to the consumer market.
