While the original ZimaBoard shipped with Intel Apollo Lake processors that were already more than four years old at the time that the board launched, the ZimaBoard 2 is powered by a current-gen Intel Twin Lake processor that should bring a significant boost in CPU and graphics performance. The company says users can expect a 200 percent performance boost, even though the new model runs cooler and quieter and uses less power while idle.

I thought a lot about buying the first version of this. Glad I waited. Very cool. Homelabbers: have some gear lust to start your weekend. Happy Friday!

Fast network

Is that different from SFP+? Cuz I don't see that on this thing either. Matter of fact I don't see any special ports at all.

Pretty sure he's confusing it with either SFP+ or SFP28.

OSFP is the current bleeding edge with 400Gb/s of bandwidth. The current primary use case for that is ISP networks or running datacenter scale computing. The going prices for a PCIE card seems to be about 2k and around 600 for a DAC-Cable alone... compared to this 200$ mini PC, OSPF is in a completely different customer segment.

I'm confusing nothing. Osfp is my desire. I have a purpose in mind. How else do you load an OS onto hundreds of AI hosts?

Yes this is expensive, my company will be supplying it

But the ZimaBoard has OSFP?
