AsRock Rack B650D4U-2L2T/BCM, 2x10G, 2x1G, IPMI
For less power consumption Ryzen 8000 is coming up (wait for Jan 8th, CES) and the APU tend to be monolithic and draw a lot less power than the chiplets.
- tw04 3y agoEven that uses Broadcom 10gbe, not the embedded AMD Ethernet. It’s really strange, I can only assume there’s something fatally wrong with the AMD Ethernet.
- AdrianB1 3y agoOr it just tells the customers of this kind of equipment want proven solutions instead of other (novelty) options, so the manufacturers build their products with that in mind. Stability and support are very important to most buyers.
- tw04 3y agoIf that were the case I’d expect to still see at least SOME products utilizing the AMD chipset, even if budget focused. I have literally not seen a single board from any MFG that utilizes the built in NIC. Heck there are Intel Xeon-d chipsets that utilize both the onboard NIC and external Broadcom to get 4x for cheap.
- formerly_proven 3y agoThat's because neither AM4 nor AM5 include provisions for a NIC (MAC) on the SoC. Afaik the chipsets don't, either. Intel chipsets generally have a gigabit MAC, but this is rarely used (apparently it specifically requires an Intel PHY and that's more expensive than a complete NIC from say Realtek). Only the Embedded chips have MACs built in.
