This is a 1U Super Micro server built on the “Cranberry Lake” rnplatform with the “San Clemente” chipset.  It was launched yesterday but rnwas overshadowed by the “Stoakley” rnrnplatform 5400 series chipset and 45nm CPU launch.  What’s unique about rnthis Intel based server is that it doesn’t use FBDIMMs so it has the highest rnperformance/watt metric of any dual-processor x86 server on the market when rnusing 3 GHz 80W 5400 series “Harpertown” CPUs.  The limitation is that it rnonly has 6 registered DDR2-667 DIMM slots (compared to 16 fully-buffered rnDDR2-800 DIMM slots on the 5400 series) and it lacks the PCI-Express generation rn2 bus slots which isn’t a problem in many applications.

Super Micro’s 6015WT-INF is a unique 2-in-1 1U server with two rndual-processor motherboards sharing a single chassis and power supply.  It rnis one of Super Micro’s best sellers and it’s based on two small form factor rn5400 series dual-processor motherboards.  This 1U system can pack 16 45-nm rnIntel 5400 series CPU cores and a total of 16 fully buffered DDR2-800 DIMMs.

On the left is the Super Micro X7SBi 3210 “Bigby-P” chipset rnmotherboard which is very similar in architecture to Intel’s X38 chipset.  rnIt is a single processor platform that uses 3000 series entry-level server chips rnwhich are essentially desktop processors.  On the right is the opposite end rnof the spectrum with the Super Micro X7QC3 quad-processor 7300 series chipset.
