Does the Talos II not fit this already?

  Who wants to spend tens of thousands of dollars for that?

    Right, I’m not quite sure where it fits within the market. It’s quite pricey for pro-sumer and not enterprise-y enough for larger companies to buy into it.

      It's about the fastest system you can get if you want open hardware. There are people willing to pay a premium for that. It's obviously not going to find a mass market at that price. But maybe they'll make enough money to develop a lower-priced one that can reach more customers.

        My understanding is their “Blackbird” model is meant to be the lower priced model, though Raptor acknowledges the whole line was never going to be mass market; rather, a well made and open computer for those who want full custody over a “modern”/current desktop or server platform.

        > There are people willing to pay a premium for that. I wish this existed in the laptop space, where I can't even buy what I want. But the Talos II exists, where you can get 4 threads per core for the low price of... oh, just $8,000. That's almost one and a half MacBooks!
