There is not an EPYC 7xx4. EPYC 8004 is Siena. We reviewed an ASRock Rack Siena platform this week actually.
We had this in the Genoa launch piece but AMD largely kept $/core constant between Milan and Genoa. Milan is still being sold since it uses cheaper PCIe Gen4 motherboards and DDR4.
On the server side it takes a few quarters for new products to start making up the majority of shipments. These days it is better to think of new servers as N, N-1, and still some N-2 generations being sold as new.
Thanks. We will have more in a bit, and may not get to all of them. I was talking to lots of folks that came to say hi today. Trying to get at least a good portion of these done this week.
Yes. I think that is a solid NUC alternative with one exception: the lack of USB4/ Thunderbolt as standard. Intel was very good about including TB on its NUC line and also did a better job upgrading to 2.5GbE.
Yes. We have done pieces on the BlueField-2 DPUs running Ubuntu and doing things like running ZFS and iSCSI off of the DPU's Arm cores as well. This is the BlueField-3 base, so a faster Arm core complex and more memory bandwidth.
Sometimes 2-3 tries but that is also from pacing. I usually have my laptop out to reference quickly but no prompter. People can tell when I read from one, so I have just had to get comfortable without reading.
We are going to have a Dell PowerEdge review tomorrow. We call that a server or more than one servers not server units so that would feel strange to me.
Well that was the part number for the NVMe expansion kit. TBH that is one of the hardest things about doing server reviews on YouTube... The model names
Now that is a throwback! That old logo was created with GIMP at a table outside NetApp. STH started at a time when the SMB market (and VERY high-end homes) were using Dell, HP, and IBM rackmount gear off-lease. The original STH idea came from me learning Linux as an alternative to Windows for that segment. STH was what I used to learn the rest of the market outside of work. The first product we were sent for a review was a rackmount case and that started us on the path of reviewing new gear ~2010-2011 when it was a part time blog instead of having a team of folks working on the site. I still try to keep 15-20% of our content in the SMB/ high-end home arena.
