Hello folks ,

I can not find info about the new C series reagarding CPU gen and compression and dedupe offload ( to intell QAT ).
Are those the same as A50/A70/A90 A1k regarding QAT engine ? or are based on older CPU ... still on PCIE Gen 5 and DDR 5 ?

Regards,
Alex.

I've noticed the same. At the moment it looks like that's on purpose (to not share the exact CPU model).
At least that's my feeling - after digging a bit deeper and asking questions the answer was always: These are purpose-built appliances and they are not supposed to be compared directly to the A-Series. I guess this was also the reason for choosing different names like C60 vs. A50.

As for QAT: All three newer AFF C-Series models (C30, C60, C80) support QAT. They are also based oon PCIe Gen 5 and are using DDR5 memory.

Does C800 support QAT?

timber flume Does C800 support QAT?

only the new systems from this/last years support QAT (except for the A20)

What are main differences between Cx0 and Cx00?

newer generation of hardware (newer CPU models, PCI gen. 5, more and faster RAM, etc. ... ) the usual when there's multiple years of development in between (the C800 is basically the A800 with QLC SSDs, and the A800 was introduced in 2020 I believe, so 5 years old by now)

A800 was released back in 2018

well I asked google and trusted the first result which said 2020 😄 then again the point was that it's rather old at this point (nevertheless it still packs a punch for most workloads)
