Intel C612 Chipset 2021 -

The 14nm Broadwell architecture cannot compete with 7nm (AMD) or 10nm (Intel Ice Lake) in performance-per-watt. A dual C612 system idles at 110-150W. A modern Threadripper 3970X idles at 90W and offers 2x the compute at full load.

: Robust support for Intel VT-d (Directed I/O) and VT-x allows for efficient hardware partitioning, making it a staple for VMware and Hyper-V environments. intel c612 chipset 2021
