So this uses the AMD/Zynq RFSoC 4x2 to pipe ~78Gbps of raw data (at maximum) from an SDR front end to a machine running GNU Radio. That’s absolutely nuts. The board is a bit over $2k, and they don’t go into how effective the RF front end on that board is, but enabling that kind of bandwidth at that price is amazing.

That's the academic price. The commercial/regular price is likely 5-10x more.

  But expect a 10x discount again if you buy in bulk not through a reseller...

  It's a bit worse: > The RFSOC 4x2 is currently only available to Universities and Research Institutes. And you're almost right. RFSoC XCZU48DR-1FFVG1517E costs $22742 (not in stock) and XCZU48DR-2FFVG1517E costs $31840 (not in stock).

Interfaces with 80 Gbit/s announced 3rd quarter 2022 (rumored since summer 2021): * DisplayPort 2.1 * USB4 version 2 * Thunderbolt 5 Amazing for desktops and notebooks. Hopefully such boards could also make soon into at least SDR hobby price range.

This is also the kind of product where making a serious effort to buy one will attract the attention of various agencies. Looks like amazing fun to me.
