A generalization of strict convexity

Consider the following property of a Banach space $E$: intersection of any hyperplane with the unit sphere is compact in the norm topology (recall that if we replace "compact" with "singleton" we get strict convexity).

Does this condition have a name? Is there any necessary or sufficient condition for it? In particular, is there any dual/predual condition?

Is it actually possible that these intersections are not finite-dimensional convex sets?
