ZimaBoard 2 is a single-board server with Intel N150, dual SATA interfaces, and two 2.5 GbE LAN ports

While the original ZimaBoard shipped with Intel Apollo Lake processors that were already more than four years old at the time that the board launched, the ZimaBoard 2 is powered by a current-gen Intel Twin Lake processor that should bring a significant boost in CPU and graphics performance. The company says users can expect a 200 percent performance boost, even though the new model runs cooler and quieter and uses less power while idle.

I thought a lot about buying the first version of this. Glad I waited. Very cool. Homelabbers: have some gear lust to start your weekend. Happy Friday!

        Is that different from SFP+? Cuz I don’t see that on this thing either. Matter of fact I don’t see any special ports at all.

          Pretty sure he’s confusing it with either SFP+ or SFP28.

          OSFP is the current bleeding edge with 400Gb/s of bandwidth. The current primary use case for that is ISP networks or running datacenter scale computing. The going prices for a PCIE card seems to be about 2k and around 600 for a DAC-Cable alone… compared to this 200$ mini PC, OSPF is in a completely different customer segment.
