I checked the news and some board manufacturers and there is some nice low-end platform coming.
So.1700 Xeon-E series.
looks like some W680ish spin but more server and less workstation. Raptor Lake with Xeon print and server features and boards. no E-cores.
ECC U-DIMMs, low-TDP, boards with 10Gbit and 25Gbit on-board from AsRock, IPMI…
I appreciate the broader board variety on the Intel side of things.
New premium homeserver option? better than W680?
I’m semi-disappointed of no AVX-512 support for the Xeon E 2400 series even though there are no E-cores.
Didn’t notice this in the specs. Ark conveniently only lists stuff that is supported (so you don’t see stuff that is missing).
Yeah no real reason…the cores are capable of AVX-512 and max 8 cores are hardly a competition for Xeon Scalable. If anything, it would make the platform more competitive vs. AMD. Maybe Intel prefers “these are not the instructions you are looking for. Go buy AMX”. Don’t remind customers of AVX512 or they’ll miss it elsewhere.
If I had to guess, I would assume Intel did it out of laziness; they probably wanted to use their existing consumer LGA1700 ucode repository instead of making another one that needed to be developed and verified.
Has anyone seen any of the c262 boards for sale?
Asrock as a really interesting one with dual 25 Gbit NICs that would be great for forbidden router in a homelab.
