G+_Rickbearcat Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 I'm okay with this new technology as long is it pushes down the price of current technology. Let's face it, this is for the 1 percenters out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_Rickbearcat Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 Terry Henderson Well, I could buy the motherboard this year. Then next year I could get the CPU. And so on and so on...:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Ben Reese Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 This would make an amazing home server. With 18 cores / 32 threads, you could easily run several VMs and still have room for gaming. And 10 Gbps Ethernet should give plenty of bandwidth to a storage server. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Jason Marsh Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 With this board and a nice CPU, your entire computing environment could be hosted by one system. Imagine running thin clients as your desktop, htpc, home automation control panel, and you could put this in a cool, clean place, out of sight and out of ear-shot. I can see exactly where this would be in my home, racked up below a 48 port 10GbE switch, serving out my media, providing all the VM desktops, routers/firewall/caching proxy, etc. I'd never have to wait seconds for my files to transit the network to the media server on "slow" GbE again 8^) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Travis Hershberger Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 I'm still waiting for AMD to release their 48core/96thread CPU. That's what I call a few threads to work with.… yes, just a few. I got to use a 2000cpu server once, back in 2001. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
