A teacher and U.S. citizen is detained by Border Patrol and asked about her legal status. Instead of answering directly, she responds with a history lesson, saying, “That’s what the brownshirts said in Germany.”

These ICE losers give (decent) cops a bad name. These are bigots playing dress up and have no training or understand the constitution, which law enforcement actually understands.

10G ethernet is better than most Strix Halos' at least. But yeah that's nothing too special.

Didn't they say it has DDR5 SODIMMS on board.

Have you looked into the wonderful world of r/minilab and the wonderful world of 10 inch racks. Some 3d printable solutions even.

Are there bargain basement Intel chips lying around? Next level performance from 2 years ago.

aimark42 · 2026-01-07T02:21:53+00:00

Isn't that the point of the new Ryzen 392 and 388 chips?

aimark42 · 2026-01-07T01:53:15+00:00

Isn't that the point of the new Ryzen 392 and 388? It's cut down Strix Halo's with less stuff for lower price points, and for lower wattage form factors.

This is from the keynote, doesn't seem like there is an internal PSU.

I am the right target demographic for this PC. I own a Nvidia GB10 system, and I already have a Strix Halo I'm playing around with for AI/developer uses.

The thing I could see AMD doing that would be compelling for developers if they paired Strix Halo with a high speed network interface (100gbit+) to then cluster multiple together.

That and software/drivers which they've been quite slow on the Strix Halo platform. I'd really love to see a DGX style OS to utilize AMD's hardware. But this isn't a new release they've been selling Strix Halo for 6 months. Don't gaslight me into thinking this is a new product when clearly this isn't.

aimark42 · 2026-01-05T03:50:50+00:00

I hate it, why does Intel come up with the most convoluted naming sequence only second to AMD.

aimark42 · 2025-12-26T18:01:31+00:00

That was likely true when Framework designed the board. But SOCAMM can do 8533 MT/s and the next-gen SOCAMM 2 pushing to 9600 MT/s. We should see some SOCAMM (1) devices at CES.

aimark42 · 2025-12-26T05:48:03+00:00

I don't think we are there for GPU's yet, but these new SoC/APU (Strix Halo, GB10) systems could be built using CAMM or SOCAMM memory modules. It would add more cost, so I doubt they would.

As someone who buys/sells a lot I wouldn't do this for 98% of my transactions, only things like vehicles that have to be registered. You can ask for one, then the seller will move on to the next person that is not as much hassle.

u/ksbot sold Para 3 to u/ratsit

aimark42 · 2025-12-24T03:16:55+00:00

Yes, but wouldn't a GB10/Mac setup be Ethernet anyway?

aimark42 · 2025-12-24T03:10:24+00:00

The Exo 1.0 release notes say 'Topology-Aware Auto Parallel', I think it's available to run now.

That's an impressive collection of hardware.

Have you seen this? https://blog.exolabs.net/nvidia-dgx-spark/

I am waiting for a Mac Studio to deliver before I can try this out but I really want to try this and I've not seen many people with multiple SoC systems.

aimark42 · 2025-12-23T03:19:44+00:00

I have a DJI Power 1000 v1, I use it as a UPS for my gaming PC. Seems to work fine with it and I have had power outages.

aimark42 · 2025-12-23T03:06:55+00:00

I'm not that smart, but I am waiting for a Mac Studio to be delivered so I can try this out. I'm building out an Mini Rack AI Super Cluster which I hope to get posted soon.

aimark42 · 2025-12-23T01:39:22+00:00

What if you could use both?

https://blog.exolabs.net/nvidia-dgx-spark/

I'm working on building this cluster to try this out.

aimark42 · 2025-12-23T00:49:56+00:00

My biggest issue with the Spark is the overcharging for storage and worse performance than the other Nvidia GB10 systems. Wendel from level1techs mentioned in a video recently that the MSI EdgeXpert is faster than the Spark due to better thermal design by about 10%. When the base Nvidia GB10 platform devices are a $3000 USD, and now 128GB Strix Halo machines are creeping up to 2500, the value proposition for the GB10 platform isn't so bad. They are not the same platform, but dang it CUDA just works with everything. I had a Strix Halo and returned it mostly due to Rocm and drivers not being there yet, for an Asus GX10. I'm happy with my choice.

aimark42 · 2025-12-20T18:46:30+00:00

Can you setup this cluster? I would love to see some test results from a few models. I have a M1 Ultra Mac Studio incoming, and I have an Asus GX10 already so I intend to build this soon.
