Ideally we'd get rid of the discrete CPU altogether for systems like this. Mellanox attempted to do this with their bluefield box, which essentially put arm cores on the nics, and let them control the transfers to storage. There's really no reason to have a dual Xeon system when you're just rdma'ing to storage. Now, if we can only have that for GPU, but CUDA no longer supports arm outside of tegra.
