Unfortunately, the only public information I recall seeing was the use of a quad Cortex-A15 based SOC with integrated dual 10G in a NAS box. However, the real capabilities of the product line were far more interesting, with very cool demos up and running with awesome metrics. The server possibilities are huge... especially if you provide opaque optimized services in a cloud to user workloads running on the x86 side. |

However, I would say look at the capabilities as listed for Synology DS2015x and extropolate. I, for one, kind of wish that Annapurna remained independent for other uses outside of AWS.

"The SoC at the heart of the DS2015xs is the AL-514 from Annapurna Labs, an Israeli startup that is still in stealth mode. The company has declined to speak to the media as of now. However, tracing some coverage of Israeli VC firms reveals that Annapurna Labs was founded in 2011 with the intent of bringing ARM-based communication processors to the market. Datasheets of SoCs from Annapurna Labs are not currently available to the public, but Synology was kind enough to divulge the following details (which, I suspect, can be gleaned via SSH access to the DS2015xs):
The AL-514 has four ARM Cortex-A15 cores running at 1.7 GHz The Cortex-A15 cores are configured with LPAE (large physical address extension) that allows addressing of more than 4 GB of RAM (the DS2015xs supports up to 8 GB) The SoC has two 10G Ethernet MAC IPs integrated"
