I would be happy with an affordable Power10 workstation.
I want that more than ARM or RISCV.
Raptor starts at around $3800 and goes way up.
Been dreaming about one of those for a long time.
My workstation now costs about $16.000
(And they dont feature the Power10 yet)
- nine_k 5y agoBTW what do you do on a workstation this large? Mechanical / electronic CAD and modeling? Video / animation? Computer chemistry?
- ThinkBeat 5y agowell, I think on a geeky place like this forum a geek should never be asked "why" he needs something: p I do photography, video editing, video conversion on the personal side and research into distributed and parallel execution for a programming language I am working on at work. I have a lot of VMs running at the same time, compiling the programming language is time consuming. I have also made some hacky alterations to the Linux kernel so I get to compile that one a lot too.
- pabs3 5y agoThe reason for Raptor not having POWER10 is due to IBM introducing some proprietary blobs, IIRC for RAM bringup and something else.
