But where does the next performance increase come from? We’re still in the 20th century bus structure paradigm and these multi-core processors can easily (and do) swamp the I/O and memory channels and parallel processing is a very specific and precise discipline for select programmers.

The last great performance increase came from SSD drives.

This CPU supports DDR4 and PCI-SSD natively, so you are going to see some improvements there, but Xeons are mostly for servers. Also, Intel is getting ready to release some 14nm chips that fit even more cores per chip, but they are still in the early stages of that.
