I’m just curious how powerful this thing is? 😂
I could host 40 smol vm’s that linode would charge $40/m for
These are weak. I used to have a 1u server (these are 4u each) that was about as powerful as both machines combined. In a few months I’m decommissioning a 4u that’s about 8 of these combined. It gets nutty fast
When I get back to having a little fuck you money, I may build an Amepere unit.
I can emulate arm with these, but I never got it working. Wonder how worse it would be compared to native
Thank you! I’ve never really dealt with computing power like this, or don’t have a use case. For a little while in 2016 I hired a guy to do some high quality 3D scans of some art objects, but that was for fun and looking for a reason to try it out haha
Lol ya that probably isn’t too resource intensive. Its kind of hard to explain how useful CPU’s can get as well as how certain ones can do specific tasks so much better than another.
To benchmark this against your avg computer, the cpu of a rpi has a cpu passmark of ~800, the cpu of a 8 year old budget desktop is around 3000, a modern desktop around 8k, and one of these is ~20k. There’s a lot more stats for measuring specifics but these give you a rough idea.
But, I can commoditize the resources & only allocate 1/40th of the cpu/ram/storage capabilities to a specific virtual machine or container, so there’s a lot more flexibility than one would think. So your use case could simply be something tiny to passthru network traffic through wireguard to hide your home ip.
