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.
