    While there may be some rough-edges and disabled features for a while,
    Xeon D seems like a much better investment than an Atom CPU with an
    extra 4 cores.  This is also a low power SOC, but with quite a lot
    better performance than Atom and more/better integrated interfaces.

    See:

       http://www.supermicro.com/products/motherboard/Xeon3000/#1667

    I have a system with one of these motherboards on order but have not
    yet heard about specific issues with OmniOS except that the 10Gb-E
    interfaces will not be supported right away, and there was mention of
    "weirdness with asy port" with early hardware on an Illumos list.
    Hopefully I will have news within the next two weeks.
