I know, can't run AmigaOS 4, at least for now :P, but i really like the case design

Nice piece of kit. 2U is a pizza box smaller than the 24 inch pizza?

8Tb Ram is half the capacity of the supercomputer filling a room that was used t run Watson when beating reverse look up human gaming genius in Jepardy in 2011. So that a Room to a pizza in 6 years.

In 6 more years, this will be a smartphone.

Imagine what its going to be like in the city with thousands of world jepardy winners all wifi and linked together solving routing and health problems. And hopoefully by then, somone will have coded in the vastly simpler manner of writing computer code than being a GP.

The best woud be AIs that design computer systems to a standard, then wrap them in human faking product differeentiating layers, so that the companies think theyre getting standards breaking systems so people have to beg for the design, but the AIs can just access the working material with no effort in the background.

Given the biggest use of AI currently is trying to analyze and predict everything humans are doing in the tiniest detail, so they can be served the perfect advert, by the time AIs can actually do anything useful, theyll know Everything. Including which idiots to watch out for that will compromise their own existance, and so therefore start to get really patchy phone connection etc.

If the success of the fuzzy combat code on the Pi is any guide, a single one of these servers could run the whole of the UK army at the induvidual level for optimum guidance and control. The perfect General. About 60 thousand units.

Lets see what a million copies or so of neuralnet.library off Aminet looks like compared to Alpha Go Zero?

But what about the cost?

It sounds very PCIe based for connectivity to NVMe, will it have any PCIe card slots for graphics, audio, SATA, things that we might want in an "Amiga"?

Probably just a maintenance interface that uses a network connection. No PCIe necessary if all the NVMe drives are SAS or that other (?) high speed link.

I would go for one of THESE.

PowerPC Raptor Mainboard is designed to accept also Sforza CPUs...
Sforza it could be referred to the noble family who ruled Milan in the Renaissance, and to the Schwartz in Spaceballs movie! LoL!

Hehe, please do not port any Amigalike OS to it untill we manage to use more than 1/384 of threads!

(IMO, it might be very bad publicity)

YES! That is a more practical Power 9 solution, and only a little more expensive than an X5000 mainboard.

Since I could justify buying an X5000, a TalosII doesn't seem that extreme.

BTW - One of the people working on the T2080 laptop project in buying one on Raptor'e boards.

AND, this type of system will have continued Linux support.

You have to go through the payment process to see what the price is for one motherboard one power 9 cpu.
Note: you can bade your own design motherboard on the talos II motherboard.

The important for us is a motherboard aimed at multimedia, so it has to sport maybe on-board audio and enough bandwidth PCIe 16x slots. Does this one support these facilities?

With a single processor only 1 x16 and 1 x8 PCIe but it has USB3. SO if you need 3D video get a card, if not the onboard chip does 2D and a USB sound device or a card for audio.

Of course you can purchase another CPU later and activate the remaining PCIe slots.

I think it's kind of cool. Looks versatile, and makes me drool.

Drivers?

I imagine it comes with gcc and necessary tools so porting drivers from LinuxPPC should not be difficult. Could be as easy as rebuilding the source as is. (That might be a joke)

Going serious... What are the prices of the first and the second motherboard?
