In general, illumos should just boot up on those new CPUs just fine.
However, there are some ixgbe updates we're going to need to do for the
10 GbE devices as they are a new chipset. However, the 1 GbE should work.
I assume that Joyent (or some other interested party) is already
planning to do the updates for the new 10 GbE interfaces. Is that a
fair assumption?
Someone else who booted an SMCI version had a weird issue with asy that
we hadn't gotten to the bottom of and I have some samples coming in over
the next few weeks which I'm hoping to use to enable the new features in
Broadwell over the coming months; however, aside from ixgbe, everything
else should work (some stuff we just won't take advantage of).
The system I would have built is based on SuperMicro hardware.
I like it that Pentium D is so well integrated and requires so little
power compared with its apparent good performance. The system
reliability should be improved by requiring so few components. I will
use only SSDs so the power savings should be realized.
