Which product is that, specifically?
It’s of course achievable with any CPU using PCIe switches. However, they don’t magically increase bandwidth.
Two CPUs is probably all that can be crammed into a case that small, so 80 lanes (+ ~8 via PCH) is as good as it gets.
- matheweis 10y agoA very ugly 7U server: https://www.supermicro.com/products/system/7U/7088/SYS-7088B-TR4FT.cfm https://www.supermicro.com/products/system/7U/7088/SYS-7088B... The point was less about the form factor and more about the number of PCIe lanes that can conceivably be available and the associated memory/bus bandwidth that is possible.
- fuzzy2 10y agoHaha, I see. That's a blade center with 8 "PCs", each supporting one PCIe x16 card and some supporting an additional x16 card (with only 8 lanes connected). It's not really comparable to this project.
