NEW Intel Xeon D-1500 SoC - ideal for high performance, low-power pfSense inst.?
-
Hope that pfSense support will follow soon…
Must… not... leak...
OK, what do you think the DPDK effort is about?
-
could/would you elaborate on the impact of "DPDK" ?
-
Please tell me we don't have another form factor…
Extended ITX
Looks like what i would call Micro ATX back in the day...

I'm really excited about these. The existing E3 systems are capped at 32GB of RAM & 4 cores and that makes them more or less useless for virtualization, even in a dev environment.
One thing I'm not seeing here is QuickAssist. gonzopancho, any idea if that's included or if it would require a PCI-e accelerator?

It's what will allow (fingers crossed) pfSense to forward packets at 10Gbe or faster.

Yeah, that's POR. See blog post.

overkill, but i like it 8)

Overkill for a 100Mbps cable connection? Yes.
Overkill for multiple 10Gbps connections with DPI and IPsec? No.
-
Overkill for smaller installs, even the 4-core variant. But yes, if you actually can utilize those 10GB interface, it hopefully will be able to keep up. The 8-core variant I'm here is somewhere around the $800-$1,000 price point, no specific dollar amount has been said about the 4-core board complete….though CPU list price is just under $400 less which would put the starting price around $400 (Avoton replacement?? just not atom) without 10GB...add probably an extra $80-100 for the 10GB.
I'm waiting for a few vendors to get on-board in Q2/Q3 and offer 1U barebone shallow-depth setups....pretty snazzy.
