Despite the high cost (when compared to 'comparable' x86_64 hardware) I am very excited by this.
However I'm concerned by desktop Linux support and graphics driver support. It would be really miserable to get this kind of machine and then have a lacklustre desktop experience (though I'd be using it as a high-horsepower workstation, it would need to be able to dump computations onto the GPU and use ordinary free productivity software on the side).
- CrystalGamma 9y agoGiven that they're selling systems with AMD cards in them, I would imagine that AMDGPU/RadeonSI at least would very well.
- JohnZi 9y agoThey had a video of playing Unreal Tournament (the new one) on a Talos 1 with a AMD card. As long as a card with Open Source driver support gets used it should work mostly fine. Back then they need a 4line patch to play ut4.
