Gigabyte heads ARM push

Motherboard maker Gigabyte has announced a dozen or so standard rack-mountable server systems powered by Cavium's 64-bit ARMv8-compatible processors.

The dual-socket mobos can take ThunderX system-on-chips with up to 48 cores per processor, clocked at up to 2GHz. Each box should be able to take up to 1TB of DDR4 RAM at 2.133GHz. There's not an awful lot of info available right now – Gigabyte lists some of its ThunderX server motherboards here. ®
