Granted judging by the ~30% drop in Xeon D 1520 motherboard pricing after just a few months
The quad core Xeon-D models @ 45 W aren't that impressive, it's probably not selling.

So does the A1100, no USB? wtf, also the number of SATA is really 14? why the Seattle reference platform has only 8?
The 8 PCI-E lines is a BAD idea, you already need to waste 2 of them on a USB controller and Aspeed chip.
anyway you can check here:

Must Avoton boards are sub-300, Xeon-D starts at 490...
If A1100 boards are really $300 to $400 we have a problem here, because Avoton retains its price/perf/features.
So what whould be the best use for A1100? And thats considering Avoton is on its way out.
Also someone has info on the features of the SATA controller on A1100? It has SAS? it has HW raid?
Agreed, but at least they entered on A53, which makes them still decent to use... but they must sell it for lower prices in order to become good sellers.Its another case of AMD pre-empting things a bit too early before software support is available. They really need to kind of get things more closely co-ordinated together otherwise in reality the R and D revenue is not getting realised in actual products for years,and they need to be generating money in the near future to survive!
The 8x Core AVOTON boards on newegg start at $340. For those Newegg boards

1. They can only support up to 64GB ram DDR-3 UDIMM only ram (up to 1600MHz).
2. They only have 2x SATA-6 ports
3. They only have PCIe Gen 2.0 8x port
4. They only have 4x 1GbE Ethernet ports
In contrast A1100 has
1. Support up to 128GB of DDR-3 or DDR-4 RDIMM (up to 64GB UDIMM) of ram (up to 1866MHz DDR-4 1.2V)
2. Up to 14x SATA-6 ports
3. Up to PCIe Gen 3.0 8x port
4. 2x 10GbE Ethernet ports
So, A1100 has double the RAM and higher Bandwidth
Up to 12x more SATA-6 ports
Double the PCIe bandwidth
more than 4x more Ethernet Bandwidth
So the best use of A1100 vs AVOTON is memcache, data storage, large encryption/decryption datacenters etc etc
Also, for those that want to have a glimpse in to sizes.
AVOTON (22nm) package size is 34mm x 28mm
A1100 (28nm) package size is 27mm x 27mm
Got anything that proves A1100 is better at anything?
Seriously, if you dont have anything to add to the conversation stay out of my thread.
Blah, blah, blah. We don't need you spewing AMD's marketing slides to us and regurgitated stuff from other posters that we've already read. We are all perfectly capable of understanding them the first time we read them.

The one who has no argument doesn't like others using data points to express their position.Just did, perhaps you should read my post above again ??
Seriously you need to chill out, my posts are on topic. If you dont like the fact that A1100 has more features that makes it better suited than AVOTON for those server cases its not my problem.

Your thread? Who made you the boss of this forum.
Yes, my thread. Go look at the op.
I'll admit to being surprised t.../QUOTE] Looks like original thought to me.

Seriously guys. It's the first step of a new platform on an existing IP set. If you expect it to be a killer app day one, you're doing it wrong. ARM is an ecosystem of its own and providing a robust platform of any type is only going to improve their inroads into other segments.
ARM servers isn't anything new. Releasing a product with no applications and no support gives no sales.
and integration of their IP stack has to begin somewhere. You think all programmers work behind the scenes?

(snip) sales will be miniscule at best.

So, A1100 has ...
Up to 12x more SATA-6 ports
