DFI Unveils ATX Motherboard ICX610-C621A
DFI, the global leading provider of high-performance computing technology across multiple embedded industries, unveils a server-grade ATX motherboard, designed for Intel Ice Lake platform, powered by the 3rd Generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors, and equipped with ultra-high speed computing that can support up to 205 W. ICX610-C621A also comes with built-in Intel Speed Select Technology (Intel SST), which provides an excellent load balancing between CPUs and multiple accelerator cards to effectively distribute CPU resource, stabilize computation loads and maximize computing power. As a result, it improves the performance by 1.46 times compared to previous generation.
Featuring powerful performance, the offers three PCIe x 16, two PCIe x8 slots and one M.2 Key and enables ultra-performance computing, AI workload and deep learning, specifically for high-end inspection equipment, such as AOI, CT, and MRI application. The ICX610 also supports ECC RDIMM up to 512 GB 3200 MHz enhances high end performance for advanced inspection equipment and improves efficiency.
Regarding the AI inference performance, with the boost from Deep Learning Boost (DL Boost) and Vector Neural Network Instructions (VNNI), the inference for production line and medical inspection equipment has been improved by 1.56 times compared to the previous generation, producing more accurate and reliable automated inspection result.
Through the upgraded 10 Gbps high-speed network, large high-resolution images can be quickly transmitted, accelerating the communication and cooperation between machines (M2M).The ICX610-C621A can help equipment manufacturers and users to further realize true Industry 4.0 automation.

These days a motherboard is only the interconnect(s). The CPU holds the chipset.
And even beyond CV and AI, it's kinda becoming norm. My ISP friend now has identical LAN setup on most of his servers, after he bugged me for a couple of years to do gradual upgrades. 2x10G on dedicated SFP+ NICs for client traffic, 2x1G for internal network, and 10M IPMI is currently hanging cause his stupid and stubborn admin does not want to use it(even though it'll solve abouot 90% of hiccups they have with setup/maintenance tasks).
Also don't forget that those interfaces can be bonded, which basically means "moar LANz - moar speed!".
....or as one mysterious leather-jacketed guy used to say: "The more you buy..." :D :D :D
I think the only one that crumbled at the time due to this particular issue were BFG, while all other players were in the deep wa-a-a-a-ay before Nforce was discontinued. That was the time when Foxconn were already pulling out of consumer segment altogether and focusing on just making stuff (ODM/OEM), that was the time when Epox and Abit were already irrelevant. Not sure if I forgot to mention some other notable companies, but I think that's all of them that matter for grasping the picture. Nforce got canned - but not much changed. Heck, my most favorite Lanparty boards don't even use Nvidia chipsets.
but yeah I miss DFI and Epox i still have their 20+ years old boards working and 2 death ASUSes with 990x and FX chipsets.
