FB-DIMMs slow down Intel Bensley servers
 

BENSLEY WAS DELAYED not due to any problems with the platform itself, that was done months ago, but due to FB-DIMMs.

Yes, those pesky FBDs are late, hot, and in short supply, so several big box slingers, let's call them collectively by the made up name "Dell", asked Intel to delay until the memory was ready. Fast forward a few months, and the situation is little better, and the outlook is not all that bright.
