We haven't gotten samples of Broadwell and tested anything, primarily because we focus on the multi-socket Xeon lines which aren't out yet. We'll probably get samples of the normal desktop CPUs at some point, but I don't really know when. In general, I don't know of anything at the CPU architecture level that would cause things not to work, often it just means that a new feature or instruction just isn't plumbed through into the OS. > To add to my previous question: Is there any chance to > get M.2 PCIe based SSDs working with SmartOS? > These fast SSDs could be quite interesting for use with ZFS. It really depends. With a lot of these PCI SSDs, the question is how do they identify themselves. Most want a custom driver, in which case we probably don't have a driver for it. However, some may just identify as an ahci controller. So, at the end of the day, I'd suggest getting a sample, trying it, and returning it if it doesn't work.
