Any MiniITX motherboard with C2718, C2518, C2508, C2358, C2308 CPU?

Besides the D-1500 (Some review sites saying it could be selling at around US$900-1000),
Supermicro already produced embedded i5/i7 mainboard, in terms of network appliance I believe
they are more than enough.

For sure this boards are not cheap, but there fore I was suggesting three different platforms
so that he is able to take a look by his own over the hardware! Three groups where there as I
see it right, but they where told by their availability!
far away - Soekris Q4/2015
next two month - D-1500
now available - FW-7525

And what he is able or willing to pay for he should better decide him selfs.

in terms of network appliance I believe they are more than enough.

What is enough and for how long this will be to hold? I am not the one that is provide
for others what is enough I suggest only more than one thing and the thread opener
should better decide this by his own mind, I prefer this way more.

I don´t really love the Intel Core i3 or i5 CPUs, I love more the Intel Xeon E3 Series together
with ECC RAM for a stable workflow.

how much does the 7525 costs?

how much does the 7525 costs?

I really don´t know this, because Lanner and also their distributors are
not placing prices at there stores.

Very strange selling strategies ???

For sure I also really hate it, because you are not able to compare the prices!
I think they will do so for holding the prices stable.

I am amused by this thread.

We just signed our first European distributor for pfSense. So you should see results from that in the next 30-45 days.

If you have a volume requirement, then we could fit those other C2K SoCs on a board for you. (Other population options exist as well.)

By default, RCC-DFF(v2) has a C2350 on it, so doesn't have QuickAssist, just AES-NI. By default, all of the RCC-VE models have QuickAssist (C2xx8).

Today, QuickAssist isn't supported on FreeBSD (and thus: pfSense). You'll never guess which company Intel is supporting in getting this port done

Oh ya, I've dropped hints elsewhere on the forum about the Broadwell-DE / Xeon D board we're working on.

I love the idea that Intel supports Mr. Ermal to get this into FreeBSD via pfSense.
Kind of shows the significance this project has already earned! Kudos to you guys!

BTW, the successor of the APUs obviously won't support QA but how about AES-NI? Or is that Intel-only as well?

I asked for a personal quote. The price they ask for the FW-7525 is almost the same as the price of an A1SRi-2558F board. :o

Well, if the price tag of them will be similar to the Lanner here in Europe, I'll be amused too. ::)

I'd be even more happy, if pfSense Store would come available in Europe. Without the huge transport costs from the US, I'd get quite a few customers interested to buy it directly from the team instead of buying APUs via distro or from pcEngines or buy Supermicro/Lanner Devices. But as long as those numbers are off by multipliers and not just a few bucks, there's no win. So I'm very interested in the things to come with a European distributor.

It's more than Ermal, though yes, Ermal is doing the majority of the work.

AES-NI is supported on some AMD CPUs. That's why we did it first.
