SKUs
Interesting ones:
- 02CY771: 12c, 48t, 105W. 2.2/3.8 GHz base/boost. Can find on eBay, Newegg, etc.
02CY089: 8c, 32t. 160W, 3.5/3.8GHz base/boost. Likely the same as Raptor Computing Systems BK1B02.
Mainboards
Blackbird
See Raptor Computing Systems BKMB1. There is a Blackbird II, but differences appear to be cooling-related only, and only sold as a component of the Blackbird Secure Desktop.
RAM
See this memory compatibility list.
Samsung M393A4K40BB1-CRC 32 GiB 2Rx4 modules supported (same as X10SDV).
Samsung M393A8K40B22-CWD appears to be the only 64 GiB modules supported.
Cases
