Wow, what a board, 2 i210 LAN ports, 4 i350 ports, and 2 Intel 10Gbe ports. 16 core Xeon D CPU with 2 threads per core equaling 32 threads. Would make for an insane FreeNAS/Virtualization appliance with support up to 128 GB of ECC DDR4. Of course on Xeon D you need to use 32 GB RDIMMS to get that capacity as ECC UDIMM tops out at 16GB per stick. Not sure where to put this though, but if anybody had the cash and would be ok with the 1.7GHz CPU. I could see someone with ESXi or any other hypervisor doing some insane things with a board like this. Pricing would probably be very expensive, but there are now Pentium D CPU's which are Dual Core Xeon D's, and I don't see the point of them as the Pentium and Core i3 are already very power efficient, so no real need for those on FreeNAS.
