About OPA-Integrated Skylake-SP Processors

AChin4 · ‎02-09-2018

Greeting everyone,

This Xeon SP, released in July last year, has a few SKU's integrated with Omni-path Fabric. Here I have a question:

For a 2-way system, is it a valid configuration to mix a fabric-integrated processor with a non-fabric-integration one of the same SKU? If so, is there any advantage to deploy two fabric-integrated processors? Would I end up having 2 OPA ports?

Any Reply would be much appreciated. Thank you.
