Not from the manufacturers you mentioned, but it is possible to buy an ARM board in a standard form factor that can be used in high performance applications. [1]

- xevb3k 8y agoWow, 269USD is pretty good. 10GigE ports and upto 16G memory... tempting!
- walrus01 8y agoLooks pretty nice for Linux based network device development, but I'm going to bet the CPU performance is in a tier well below a Coffee Lake Core i3 8100. Not really in the same category as single socket, narrow (two systems in 17.5" 1U chassis width), 8, 16, 24 or 32-core Xeon or EPYC.
- kikoreis 8y agoGood luck getting a standard Linux kernel to run on those Armadas though.
- walrus01 8y agoI looked briefly and found no mention of being able to run a Debian or centos derived distribution on them. Chicken or egg problem.
- voltagex_ 8y agoI wonder if they fixed the issue present on the (very similar) Espressobin board where using a PCIe card will crash the system.
