> don't keep the hardware busy as it should 24h around the clock. If your workload demands 24/7 100% CPU usage, Epyc and Xeon are for you. There you can have multiple sockets with 256 or more cores each. > Most consumer software even less And yet, even in consumer gear which is built to a minimum spec budget, core counts, memory capacity, pcie lanes, bus bandwidth, IPC, cache sizes, GPU shaders, NPU TOPS, all increasing year over year. > systems with built-in FPGAs failed in the consumer market Talk about niche. I've never met an end user with a use for an FPGA or the willingness to learn what one is. I'd say that has more to do with it. Write a killer app that regular folks want to use that requires one, and they'll become popular. Rooting for you.
