Thanks for getting this out so quickly!

I was going to ask when the Uncore Performance Monitor User Guide for the Xeon E5 v3 processors would be available, but I just checked and it is online now!  http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/processors/xeon/xeon-e5-v3-uncore-performance-monitoring.html
