Gigabyte MB51-PS0 with 16-core Xeon D-2100 Processor Reveals itself
Last week Intel announced their Xeon D-2100 Processors with up to 18 cores and 36 threads. The Xeon D-2100 series support up to 512GB quad-channel ddr4 memory. The processors will become available in a wide variety of SKUs ranging from six to eighteen CPU cores with the TDP ranging from 60 to 110 Watts.
The platform can support up to four 10 Gigabit Ethernet adapters. The first motherboards with integrated proc now also slowly start to show up and off at manufacturers. the first being a Gigabyte MB51-PS0, which has been fitted with a Xeon D-2183IT which is a 16 core / 32 thread part with a 2.2 GHz base clock and turbo up-to 3.0 GHz. That proc alone costs 1764 USD btw.
- ATX form factor
- Intel® Xeon® D-2183IT processor
- 4-Channel RDIMM/LRDIMM DDR4, 8 x DIMMs
- 2 x 10GbE SFP+ LAN ports (Intel® X557-AT2)
- 1 x Dedicated management port
- 14 x SATA III 6Gb/s ports
- Ultra-Fast M.2 and U.2 with PCIe Gen3 x4 interface
- Up to 2 PCIe Gen3 x16 expansion slots
- Aspeed® AST2500 remote management controller
Have a peek.

I would wonder who would buy this type of board, with the CPU soldered to it ?
I mean, you're buying something that if is craps out, you have to change Mobo and CPU, and maybe RAM as well down the road...
For the 8 Core atom chips, it wasn't a problem. That was ITX Sized, and more for SMB's.
This is surely going to cost a packet, and I would expect it to be only a little cheaper (maybe) than a socketed version.
It's for 1U file server mainly... low cost server as secondary use.
Those CPU doesn't need hight frequency, but more thread... (also it's the "D" version of the CPU.)
*edit* And there is itx version comming too

As far as I can tell, this is mostly meant to compete against ARM servers. Generally speaking, a lot of why you pay extra for server parts is the reliability, so aside from the fact that CPUs nowadays take years to fail even after heavily overclocking them, I'm sure these low-clocked CPUs will last a lifetime.
Most people, even here, don't understand most server hardware, which is perfectly ok. A lot of it sounds stupid, overpriced, or impractical to the average person. Because of that, I always felt articles like this on a website focused on consumer-level hardware were doing the manufacturer more harm than good.

The only problem I have with this board is the Soldered CPU.
If that craps out, New Mobo and CPU is required, which is major hassle.
What advantage does this have over the exact same specs, but with a socketed CPU ?
