ASRock Rack C236WSI4 Skylake-H platform launched

[Patrick Kennedy]

ASRock Rack is one of the first manufacturers we have seen to release a new Skylake-H based platform. The ASRock Rack C236WSI4 is a compact platform that takes advantage of the Intel Xeon E3-1500 V5 family providing a very interesting building block. The Intel Xeon E3-1500 V5 series was just launched to support VDI and video transcoding applications.

oh well, gotta wait for benchmarks on VDIs and Rendering. This could become a good rendering farm/VDI platform for home.

the motherboard is still not available and also so far there is no other vendor announcing any motherboard that support E3-1500v5...
.
I just wish there is an onboard sata x8 version
