Supermicro’s mighty mini ITX Xeon board can make for a powerful compact number cruncher, but pricey server-class part requirements means most consumers should opt for X299 or Threadripper alternatives.

Edge computing, or the analysis of data and development of solutions at the site where it is generated, is bringing the power of the cloud to mobile and IoT devices and is being used by businesses to create smarter buildings, cities, workspaces, retail experiences, among many other applications.

Cortical.io, a leader in AI-based Natural Language Understanding (NLU) solutions, announced the debut of a new class of high-performance enterprise applications based on “Semantic Supercomputing.”

Super Micro Computer, Inc. (SMCI) introduced another enterprise vSAN solution to its portfolio of configured out-of-the-box systems.

The latest of these exciting rumors came from renowned hardware leaker @momomo_us. According to him, Supermicro is developing a diagram for what seems to be the upcoming X12DPi-N motherboard. Further, he revealed the benchmark results of a still-unnamed 14-core, 28 thread Intel processor.

New form factors are massively disruptive to established ecosystems. They require changes at every turn. Fortunately, Supermicro already had a 1U server designed for Intel’s ruler form factor, so when EDSFF was finalized with very slight modifications, it didn’t take long for Supermicro to tweak the connectors and officially support EDSFF as well.
