For the referenced 48x 100Gbps Intel Omni-Path switch we showed previously see: https://youtu.be/cQQHIiKV-QI

We take an $11,000 Edgecore AS7712-32X bare metal switch and show how it is architected. Based on Broadcom merchant switch silicon as well as an Intel Atom SoC, we show what makes this 32x 100GbE switch one of the most popular bare metal switches with ONIE for both open networking as well as some proprietary network operating systems.

The Edgecore AS7712-32X is one of the most well-supported 32x 100GbE (or up to 128x 25GbE with breakouts) switches thanks to its flexibility.

In this video, we mentioned the Intel Atom C2000 AVR54 bug. Again, if you are buying this new, it has not been an issue for over 3 years, but it is important when looking at second-hand switches in this class. Many switches, including Cisco switches, were impacted. Read more about that here:
