Why would one want an ARM desktop system (except if (s)he is an ARM developer)?
For my desktop I want as much power as money permits. And the most important thing is ergonomy, since I rather invest into my eyes and wrists than into the silicon.
- watchdogtimer 7y agoI use a pedal-powered computer. For me, every watt counts. My desktop system is a NanoPi M4 and a 16" Sceptre monitor. The combined system draws a total of about 6.5 W. Granted, there are some laptops that come near that level of power consumption. I simply like the form factor of a desktop PC.
- Koshkin 7y agoI do not believe even "ARM developers" use ARM-based desktops.
- cameron_b 7y agoI think that the main argument here is that there isn't a developer desktop machine that fits the HEDT slot for ARM. There is the Raspi / Odroid / Pine64 tinkerer scale, and the ThunderX2 scale, but nowhere in the middle. I think the Gigabyte ThunderX Station is being marketed in some channels, like the main page of this site: https://www.phoenicselectronics.com https://www.phoenicselectronics.com The new Fujitsu venture Socionext does sell stuff, but like everyone has said, they're interested in doing design-build for your factory robot controller or your edge supercomputer. But they do sell a box: http://www.socionext.com/en/products/assp/SynQuacer/Edge/ http://www.socionext.com/en/products/assp/SynQuacer/Edge/ It just isn't marketed as a GP /HEDT box because that isn't their market
