This is Intel making a 24 core Neoverse N2 server on TSMC - not their ISA, not their core design, and not their fab

Hah, I was not imagining it https://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=Intel+Pentium+E2200... same name as an old cpu.

I hope their Linux code isn’t as out-dated and buggy as their IPMI system.

It's quite interesting. Basically Nitro on a stick. For the "repatriation" crowd this seems appealing. But would you invest in the software necessary to exploit this, knowing that Intel could lose interest or just go bankrupt with little warning?

The ability to connect to 4 hosts makes it seem like MRIOV all over again! Still, it does look like a fun device from the 'big arm chip with lots of connectivity' side
