No kidding. Despite the HN posters saying it's "factual" this is likely just 4 socket systems tied together with an interconnect.
If intel is really going to market these type of systems, they need to be a LOT LOT more transparent on interconnect latency / memory management issues etc.
These headlines are almost always clickbait when you try to run high contention workloads on these supposedly massive systems.
What is the name of the interconnect approach being used here? That's what I want to know.

- thoraway1010 6y agoSome big.little's have very good interconnect / memory access. Some systems have remote NUMA memory - you are going off one board over an internconnect to another board to memory there. The headline is so misleading. I could wire together a ton of machines over 10mbs, and yes, I could get NUMA going on it and a high core count, but the performance would be horrendous. Maybe you could even run super NUMA over DB9 9 bit serial ports with remote memory access latency in hours?
