I can Jeff Geerling salivating at the chance to benchmark these things.

  Already happened last year. https://www.jeffgeerling.com/blog/2023/everything-ive-learned-building-fastest-arm-desktop https://www.jeffgeerling.com/blog/2023/everything-ive-learne... I wonder how many watts it pulls at idle and under load. Given that it requires water-cooling, probably a lot. But the spec sheets claim 250w (not specifying load vs idle). https://www.anandtech.com/show/16979/the-ampere-altra-max-review-pushing-it-to-128-cores-per-socket https://www.anandtech.com/show/16979/the-ampere-altra-max-re...

    I made the Ampere Altra dev platform workstation water cooled to be quiet. Not because it needs it.

      Supposedly the reference design from Ampere 128 core came water-cooled from the factory. Don't they go into data centers? Or did the give the reviewer a special version?

      And with RGB lighting to make it even faster ;-) You have the coolest toys.

    Sorry if I misunderstood, I thought you were referencing the 128core pampers.
