 hoooly woweee, 1333mhz low-voltage DDR3 RAM, SATA-II, PCI-e x4,
quad-core cortex a9s, _multiple_ 10gig ethernet channels and 6 gigabit
ethernet ports i've never heard of.  wow, that is one seriously deeply
impressive chip.  if they've got it in 28nm it won't eat power,
either.

 now that's a deeply impressive server-level and parallel cluster
processing chip.
