Computex 2024 was a massive expo, and as such, it had some hidden delights that we didn't manage to spot for ourselves. For example, the Gigabyte R283-ZK0: This server motherboard has done the seemingly impossible and fits 48 DDR5 memory slots inside a standard 2U server form factor.
First spotted by ServeTheHome, the Gigabyte board does indeed fit 48 memory slots on a single motherboard dominated by a pair of AMD's SP5 sockets for EPYC processors. To accommodate such an insane amount of RAM, the CPUs and DIMMs cannot sit next to each other; instead, they arrange the RAM in descending sets of 6-2-4-4-2-2-4. This staircase design allows NVMe SSDs and extra cooling fans to hide in the created nooks.
