A Jingsha X89-L

Jingsha is a Chinese manufacturer of G34 motherboards, apparently using repurposed components from scrapped boards. Their boards appear to have been manufactured new through approximately 2023, though they have become harder to purchase recently. Branding of Jingsha boards was inconsistent - the boards and firmware were seemingly unbranded, while packaging and product listings variously identified them as Jingsha, MACHINIST (in actuality an apparently-separate Chinese company manufacturing similar boards with salvaged Intel hardware), or one of several other seemingly one-off names. Branding usually included the term "X89" (an apparently reference to Intel's X79 and X99 chipsets, commonly used on similar modern boards for repurposed Intel Xeons), even though there is no such chipset (from AMD or Intel). In reality, these boards used the AMD SR5650.

Jingsha motherboards include only two DIMM slots. While these slots are on two separate memory channels, both of these channels are on the same die of the CPU, resulting in performance losses for memory accesses by cores on the other die (which must instead access memory entirely via NUMA).
