Intel® 14th/13th/12th Gen (Raptor Lake-S Refresh/Raptor Lake-S/Alder Lake-S) Core™ Processors, up to 125W My guess is they're just trying really hard to eliminate reasons for anyone to buy a Ryzen. They matched on core-count (okay, with hybrid cores), surpassed on DRAM and PCIe revisions, surpassed on PCIe lanes, and now they've even surpassed Ryzen on ECC! I set up a new workstation with the Supermicro X13SAE motherboard. See https://www.reddit.com/r/lianli/comments/zmrlnn/old_and_new_workstation/. (The new workstation is now at the 3 monitor table, unlike the picture.)
x PCIe x16 (Gen4), 4 x USB 3.2 Gen2, 2 x USB 3.2 Gen1, 4 x USB 2.0, 1 x M.2 Key B, 1 x M.2 Key E, 2 x M.2 Key M, 5 x COM, 4 x SATA3Speaking of memory, the X13SAE-F uses ECC or non-ECC DDR5 RAM at speeds up to 4400 MHz. Memory support is currently limited to 4x 32GB or 128GB of total memory, though it is possible that the system might eventually support more if 64GB unbuffered DDR5 DIMMs are ever released. I’d rather prefer a DDR4-3200 ECC board, because those DIMMs are relatively easy to get and I might just lend it half of the 128GB I have in my Ryzen 5950X for a while.
Intel® Standard Manageability requires activation and a system with a corporate network connection, an Intel® ME Firmware-enabled chipset, network hardware and software. For notebooks, Intel® ME Firmware may be unavailable or limited over a host OS-based VPN, when connecting wirelessly, on battery power, sleeping, hibernating or powered off. Results dependent upon hardware, setup & configuration. For more information, visit http://www.intel.com/technology/platform-technology/intel-amt

Rear I/O on the X13SAE-F definitely looks more workstation than a server, with a full complement of display and audio outputs, along with more USB ports than most servers. The RJ45 network ports are interesting as well, with a dedicated BMC NIC along with both an Intel i219-LM 1 GbE port as well as an i225-LM 2.5 GbE port. Supermicro X13SAE F Slots Both the IMB-X1233-WV and IMB-X1231 ITX sized offerings allow support for Alder Lake-S processors with a maximum TDP of 65 W, while the micro-ATX IMB-X1314 and ATX IMB-X1712 enable users to use processors with a base TDP of up to 125 W. Support and compatibility here are aligned and determined by the base frequency TDP rating on these models. The main issue for ECC and encrypted VMs is that it requires BIOS and OS support to function or deliver its full potential and there could be extra licensing cost involved from an external vendor that AMD cannot iron out without too much of a cost impact. I red James C. Owen post in reddit and it seems that he is using this board at full power on a 24×7 basis, apparently without problems. He has a very convenient air flow, though.

x PCIe Gen4 Slots (PCIE1/PCIE3:single at x16(PCIE1); dual at x8 (PCIE1) / x8 (PCIE3)) (PCIE1: Support riser card x8/x8) If using PCIEx8/x16 card on PCIE2/PCIE4 slot, M.2 Key M2(M2_M2) and M.2 Key E(M2_E1) are limited to install.I wish they’d add a proper 10Gbit NIC already (it seems the board is prepared for it), but at least the x4 slot is open ended and a good fit for an ACQ107 or 113. VBAT, System temperature, CPU temperature, 3.3V standby, 1.05 (PCH), +5V standby, +5V, +3.3V, +12V, CPU thermal trip support, +1.8V PCH That the name of the game. The other thing Intel will tell you is that Xeon-branded chips are binned for better stability and reliability. I don't know how much truth there is in that, but I've never seen one fail. Per VM encryption is another feature that's currently only supported on EPYCs, while the silicon is all there in all variants of the chips.
Great Deal
