this is a great solution if there is mATX board
I would prefer to see the mATX board with that config!

I think most STH readers share this sentiment.wow would love to give Xeon D-1540 a try.. thanks @Patrick for the heads up
My 900D dual xeons will be replaced by this eventually. Nothing cooler than being able to shrink that behemoth to a mATX build. Waiting for supply to pick up and prices to fall some.
And I just bought a Supermicro | Products | Motherboards | Atom Boards | A1SAM-2550F
damn timing...

Patrick, you having one heck of a good day, and we thank you for it. Great bunch of articles about very promising new platform: can't wait to upgrade my VMware vSphere 6.0 / ESXi 6.0 (soon GA) server past that pesky 32GB boundary, affordably left running 24x7 (running OpenVPN, etc.)
Thank you @Paul Braren and others.
I am working to get preliminary numbers from platforms from at least two vendors by next week. Stay tuned. May also use this as an opportunity to launch Linux-Bench.com web viewer v2. I think it is ready now other than one small change (*cough* @Patriot that flag).

Chris - I will see what comes. So you have there a motherboard that costs about 1/3 to 1/4 what these will sell for and costs not much more than a nice quad port GbE NIC (which it has). I think that the C2000 series will get refreshed late 2015 which should be very interesting, but it does not solve the problems of today. These platforms I am guessing we will see out in April/ May.
I am very much looking forward to the successor to the C2000 platform.
It will be interesting to see what intel manages to cram onto the next ~25W processor, considering what they've just produced on the 45W platform.

@Patrick this ASRock board does look very interesting at least IMO compared to the Supermicro. I see some what looks like pigtail antenna leads on the board running down the middle, wifi? Also what are those 2 black ports next to the PCI-e 8x slot for? Extended ITX seems a bit funny of a form factor, I guess smaller than M-ATX but bigger than ITX?

I have been wanting to share this information for quite some time now. Fun to finally get to the release date.
@chinesestunna I am not 100% sure. I think they have a PHY that is swappable on a daughterboard. I do not have details yet on this one.

If it is I think it would be wise for something for NGFF, or PCIe Storage as although it's cool to support new form factors, I honestly think saving space for the port + card overlay space on the PCB. While NGFF saves overall space in the system, I think a break out card that allows you to mount 3-4 units would be ideal in the long run.

Nice work

Anyone else holding out for a mITX board with the quad-core D1520 and embedded 10Gb network...? That'd be a game changer for most of my builds at any rate especially if it came in at under 500 notes...
Was worried when I saw the prices of the SM kit that the 10Gb networking was what had caused such ludicrous amounts of dollar signs, but according to this the quad-core is about a third of the price of the eight-core model.

The quad core version at 20W including 10GbE is my new favorite NAS building block.
For now, the quad core version is also a 45w TDP part. There were only two launch SoCs but there are other variants coming in the next quarter or two.

Not really. The E5-2400 series was intended for higher density applications with more CPU/ memory per system.
More of an E3 replacement if anything, but I think we will still see a new E3 this year.
