Anyone know when we might see the Intel C2750 successor?

[jgreco]

Thanks for sharing that link. I should have done more Googling before posting. On the bright side, I can stop worrying about a new Atom chip dropping. It also makes me feel good about my C2750 versus C2550 choice.

The C2750 should treat me well for the foreseeable future. And when the time for upgrade comes along, I'll probably be looking at a Xeon.

The lower end of the Xeon D is actually "Pentium D" and does get down to 19W TDP.

I'd say it's kinda too bad about Avoton, but on the other hand, if prices come down a bit on Xeon D, ... "compelling"

Wow, Intel managed a stealth launch so stealthy that this is the first I've heard of these things.

The price points look good, considering they integrate the PCH. Looking forward to some networking-oriented boards with these. Consumer-grade routers aren't going to manage 200Mb/s VPNs...

You should waste less time posting here.

Give it a few years. There was a time when they weren't going to manage 1Mbps VPNs.

When I see 'Pentium D', I think of processors that can consume 19W without the computer even being plugged into the wall. Now my brain is having a hard time changing the association from 'suck' to 'not suck'. Thanks Intel.

Wirelessly? Battery? ...???

Intel's always kinda been "suck." Just everyone else sucks more. To fully appreciate the suck, you need to contemplate the pricing irrationality and other non-tech issues... like that the Xeon D is probably going to save a lot of $$$ on opex, but you'll be paying it to Intel as capex.

Netburst. You're getting in the way of my snarky comments.

Netburst. You're getting in the way of my snarky comments.

Netburst is actually a very expensive space heater that performs useful calculations (slowly, by modern standards).

Some say it's actually a heat pump, since anything else would violate the laws of thermodynamics to output so much heat. Others ask where the heat is being pumped from.

Easy. From another universe with different physical laws. The netburst architecture was abandoned when a coalition of scientists realized that the continued operation of netburst heat pumps would lead to the destruction of our universe.

You're not really ripping off "The Gods Themselves" there, are you?

Would have been more appropriate for you to point out where I rip off hostnames from

I'm actually kind of happy that my C2750 died because the USB port setup on it was goofy (could only use 3 out of the 4 ports at once) and the RAM was ridiculously expensive beyond 32 GB. I upgraded to a board with a Xeon D and couldn't be happier with it, also it supports M2 NVME and 128 GB of DDR4 ECC at a reasonable price of about $250/32 GB DIMM compared to the C2750s $350/16 GB DIMM.

 

[jgreco]

I think there would be some people fascinated with any commentary you might have on how these two platforms feel in comparison.

I've got a Xeon D-1537 storage board showing up sometime next week so I'm curious (even if committed) too.

 

[brando56894]

I don't have any official metrics and can't get any since the board is dead. But I can say both boards are pretty beastly, I don't think I ever had the Avaton fully maxed out, and that was running Ubuntu 14.10 LTS w/ZoL and running 5-6 KVMs (Puppet Enterprise, LAMP stack, Usenet programs, Test VM and/or nZEDb Usenet Indexer, Plex transcoding with "make my cpu hurt"). It was good enough for my needs, the only limiting factor for me was the RAM.

My new SuperMicro X10SDV (Xeon D 1540) is a little beast. I don't think I've ever seen it above 30% total CPU usage running the same workload, but then again it does have 8 more threads than the Avaton.

Currently running KVMs: Usenet Stuff (SickRage, NZBget, CouchPotato, Transmission, HTPC-Manager), Web Server (MariaDB, Apache 2.4, Nginx, PHP7 w/ PHP-FPM), DNS Server, nZEDb (LEMP Stack, nZEDb isn't currently searching/processing). I'm also running Plex on the main OS but no one is currently streaming from it.

Check out Xeon D boards. Low power, ECC, VT-d, 10 Gigabit Ethernet, and 6 Sata on the board I got.

I thought that I heard something about the Avoton successors landing sometime early next year - the name of the successor platform is "Denverton".

 

[Ericloewe]

Not next year, this year. The release was slowed down by the C2000 bug
