My first impressions upon seeing the Tezro (in order)

1. Cool...the new system comes with a subwoofer. Wait - that is the new system!!

2. Hmm. Isn't this just a rebadged Origin 350 with a V12 graphics card?

3. No mention of NUMAflex in any of the release docs - was it not working in time for release?! The datasheet says rack server is capable of 16GB RAM (deskside limited to 8GB) which implies a NUMA expansion capability is planned.
