Thoughts on HPE MicroServer Gen 11

I was looking at HPE Servers and I come across HPE MicroServer Gen 11 has been release few months ago (probably August 2024)

I did not know that HPE MicroServer Gen 11 has been released. I knew it was planned, but I did not know when.
I did some research so far HPE MicroServer Gen 11.

So far, what I know is the CPU and Wattage are the same (Intel C252 and still 180w).

However this now have of the following:
- M.2
- 4 UDIMM DDR5 slots which can go up to 128GB RAM.
- 2 PCI-E Slot, PCIe 5.0 x16 and 4.0 x4. Both low-profile
- No iLO, but have iLO 6. However, iLO and Serial are optional

The motherboard as some new feature ports, but HP cannot identify what they are.

I thought about purchasing one but I will wait for a while because I purchase and upgraded my Gen10 v2 which I done a YouTube video on does since March 2024. Also the v2 does what I need at the moment as it have 64GB RAM and 8 Core / 16 vCore on Gen10 v2.
