IMCs: support for SODIMMs on server-class chips

[DrMrLordX]

The SeaMicro SM15000 has a "custom" Opteron 4300-series chip (presumably with the same IMC as 3300, 4300, and 6300-series Opterons). The SM15000 sports two SODIMM slots.

So, if a 4300-series Opteron (deep-binned or not) can handle SODIMMs, wouldn't all the Piledriver Opterons be able to do the same?

It requires a custom socket too I guess. But else yes. Same as mobile vs desktop. Exact same chips.

SODIMMs are supported for both C32 and AM3+, but obviously need a special board / BIOS

BIOS and Kernel Developer's Guide, search for SODIMM

Interesting. Thanks for the link there.
