I heard about this a while ago.

I guess it would help if you had CAD running on thin/thick client's, maybe network/cloud graphics.

Or other graphically intense programs running over remote systems.

You would not use this for gaming or anything of the sorts.

2 questions that you can't find answers for...

Will it be a single slot solution (since many heavy duty servers are 2U chassis form factors)?

*Yes, I'd really like to know if it will fit in my 12 core game machine!

Will it support gaming well?

Time will tell on both.
