We take a look inside the Arista DCS-7060CX-32S which is a 32-port 100GbE switch based on Broadcom Tomahawk silicon that can run SONiC. This is also an interesting switch since it has an x86 processor, namely an AMD embedded chip so as a fun fact, it technically has AMD GPU IP in it as well. This switch was around $1000/ port list price new which puts the list price at around $30K when it was first launched. Since then, street pricing new is somewhere in the $9000-$12000 range these days and on the second-hand market (if you want to use one with SONiC to learn on) these often sell for $2000-$3500.
