vbetts Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 I didn't see anything posted on this at all, so I figured I would. Not sure if anyone has seen it yet, but Intel has a new SoC platform for servers based off of Atom Silvermont architecture. Here are the specs of the highest cpu, the Intel Avoton C2750. Intel Avoton C2750 2.4ghz 2.6ghz Turbo speed(yes, Turbo!) x32/x64 8 cores/8 threads! 4x1mb l2 cache(No l3 cache) Dual Channel ddr3 1600 up to 64gb 4xPCIE 2.0 controllers Sata 3 Usb 3 20w package!!!!!! It gets better, the extensions this little guy supports is phenomenal! MMX instructions SSE / Streaming SIMD Extensions SSE2 / Streaming SIMD Extensions 2 SSE3 / Streaming SIMD Extensions 3 SSSE3 / Supplemental Streaming SIMD Extensions 3 SSE4 / SSE4.1 + SSE4.2 / Streaming SIMD Extensions 4 AES / Advanced Encryption Standard instructions EM64T / Extended Memory 64 technology / Intel 64 VT-x / Virtualization technology TBT 2.0 / Turbo Boost technology 2.0 http://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/Atom/Intel-Atom%20C2750.html http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157475 The cost is a little on the high side, but I can see this as a viable solution for a small Mavericks build. I would also have a get a dedicated gpu, the gpu on this is aspeed or some {censored} like that. So probably going to look towards a small form factor 5750/5770. I put my AMD order on hold for this one! I'll update when I get parts in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
