Epyc embedded
«

So I’ve been looking at the AMD Epyc embedded for a while, considering one of the SuperMicro M11SDV motherboards with its 4 on-board Intel NICs. In truth the humble 3101 would probably do me fine (domestic use, 1Gb fiber wan, Suricata, VPN) but it bothers me that the embedded series are still 1st generation Epyc when the regular series are now on 3rd, with large performance and efficiency gains. And prices for the M11SDV haven’t even adjusted, they are the same as when they were released a few years back.
I don’t see much if any information online on whether a refresh is expected. Any thoughts or clues from anyone on this forum?
Otherwise I’ll probably bite the bullet and get desktop hardware and in that case a quiet business PC with intel CPU and PCIe quad NIC. However I prefer server hardware if poss... for IPMI if nothing else.

I'm running a M11SDV-8CT-LN4F with ESXi and OPNsense virtualized. Really happy with it.

Do you run other VMs on it, or just OpnSense?
