Well, to say the truth, I'm a bit confused by all this choice 8-}

This page:

https://b2b.gigabyte.com/ARM-Server/R181-T90-rev-100#ov

says that there's a difference between ThunderX and ThunderX2.

The asa-systems are much cheaper, but are not ThunderX2, right ?

Yes, what's x-nt now ? Something between X and X2 ? Something beyond ?
