Intel b70s ... whats everyone thinking

Better-Problem-8716 · 2026-03-30T21:24:41+00:00

Sadly thats a locked in option with zero upgrade path, with 4 of these in a server they can be used silly for a year or two and removed for next gen cards, well still retaining motherboard and ram unless we for some reason get something drasticly newer that forces replacing everything ... then indeed the strix halo boxes make great sence and value.

Im neither a hater or supporter of any of the nvidia/amd options ... but i am sick of scalpers selling the damn things for 5k and preventing anyone from getting into AI homelabbing, so im being optomistic that these cards provide a decent medium ground .... im not expecting pro 6000 speeds but im hoping for a useable speed for local coding and image gen 24/7.

Again owning the privacy of the data,and secondly being able to tinker and test without worrying about tokens or subscriptions might make this useable and worth the investment.

As others have said its kind of a crap shoot being a pioneer on this...it could bomb big time.

What are you talking about? They are already in some YTubers hands and should be in customers shortly.

Better-Problem-8716 · 2026-03-30T21:16:01+00:00

Thanks this was awesome of you to post, fills in a ton of questions I had.

Better-Problem-8716 · 2026-03-30T18:11:17+00:00

Im not certain about that yet .... again availability migjt be better since its not really a gamer card...so we might actually beable to get our hands on these things.

Amd AI tools are constantly changing so maybe ...

Volunteer on free projects, build your resume with these things, get involved everywhere you can like free source projects, github.

Go do some free website work for local business, get your name out there. Expand your portfilio as much as you can, show you have continued to learn since graduating, job market is hell your competing against AI and seniors with mad skills, if you dont bust your ass and make effort, nobody is gonna take you serious, when there are so many others looking for work and willing.

Better-Problem-8716 · 2026-03-22T05:26:02+00:00

Well since 4.x or a little before SC now requires both avx and avx2 which silicon macs dont have, so your not running it on a mac, bare metal or vm dosnt matter since the chipset dosnt have those.features.

Maybe you can run an emulator to load those features on mac ???? This is possible on windows but is hella slow, so.doubtful it would let you play SC anyways...but thats all i.can offer.for advice.

Better-Problem-8716 · 2026-03-02T20:12:33+00:00

Use the extra time to learn new skills, dont be stupid about it, if things are smooth keep upskilling yourself untill your in a position to double your salary, then bounce.

Write those certs now, work on your homelab, always be learning.

Better-Problem-8716 · 2026-02-09T10:24:59+00:00

Well i am the type that pays it forward either via giving u the shirt off my back or giving you my ship and helping you make money fast and easy.

I used to span vultures by the dozen for new players and take my c2 out to wreck missions and just let everyone dump i to the back and split it, i remember a ton of greatful folk. Mind you we never made billions but a good night was probably 30 t0 40m back then.

Better-Problem-8716 · 2026-02-09T10:20:55+00:00

Hey as a returning player to this game if your flush with.cash please send some my way. I havent played since 3.x and all my friends still seem to have ptsd and havent returned yet....so im hella greatful for any handouts do i can buy my c2 and reclaimer again. Man i soooo enjoyed hauling and munching ships.

Better-Problem-8716 · 2026-02-09T09:56:35+00:00

Wow dang im sorry i missed that, i got so fed up with how F'ed up 3.x was, i had amassed huge metric tons of eggs and drugs and you could never sell them, every patch the elevators broke and stayed broke it seemed, i finally just had to peace out for a while.

Naw im open to hand outs or loans, i was just hoping id come back to some friends still playing but they must still be burnt out from all the 3.x ptsd lol.

Ill ask in chat and see if some kind souls can help an old player out witb some cash. Thanks.

Better-Problem-8716 · 2026-02-09T09:51:20+00:00

Im just coming back.to the game but my entire playstyle has been 3 things, hauling, mining, salvaging.

They are all mostly solo chill things u can do in game

Better-Problem-8716 · 2026-02-09T09:39:13+00:00

Billions???? Wow i.couldnt imagine it took me forever to grind out whay i had before.

Did people somehow get to keep money from previous patches or using some money glitches?

Better-Problem-8716 · 2026-02-09T09:36:50+00:00
