HPE Proliant MicroServer Gen10 Plus - Tale of the Tape

I have been doing a lot of research on the difference between the old v1 and the new v2.
HPE Proliant MicroServer Gen10 Plus v2 was introduced in late 2022 to improve the Hardware performance.

I did not get much information until few weeks ago to find out if I wanted to buy v2 of the MicroServer Gen10 plus.

After a litter dig deep from HPE. I found a clear comparison between the version 1 and version 2

What's new in the v2:
- Better motherboard which can support upper tier CPU which is Intel C252
- More memory capacity which is doubled to 64GB DDR4 RAM
- Internal USB is now USB 3.2
- TPM is embedded

Unfortunately, both Power Supply will retain 180w and the Heatsink will retain as 71w.
However the good news is that I can get a Intel Xeon 8 Core CPU on 65w

Here is the picture of the tale of the tape for you to see:
