STefan writes, "parity" == "Gleichstand" ... Ya, ya, Ich verstehen. The parity-verses-ECC stuff was an (apparently failed) attempt at humor, hence the ":-)". <hangs head in shame> Mark asks, > Is it even available to purchase? "AMD this quarter will ship the software development kits (CPUs, mainboards, etc.) to select software developers." "AMD Opteron A1100 "Seattle" system-on-chips will be commercially available in the second half of 2014." "The extremely popular GNU C compiler and the critical GNU C Library have already been ported to the 64-bit ARM architecture." The kit of course comes with penguinix. The bad news is that it has only 8 PCIe lanes. Are expansion cards considered uncool these days, or what? How are you supposed to add all the essential stuff they leave off the mainboard? http://www.xbitlabs.com/news/cpu/display/20140131110927_AMD_to_Ship_ARM_Based_Opteron_PCs_to_Software_Makers_This_Quarter.html (I'm still seeking info on Berlin. Hopefully the boards will have more than 1 or 2 expansion slots.)
