And even though "significant premium" is a polite understatement in this case, the Talos was the cheapest [proposed] POWER8 solution by a substantial margin. I've also been quite disappointed in the AArch64 offerings so far. With very few exceptions (eg Gigabyte's mostly-unobtainable MP30-AR0 or some locked-down appliance-type servers) they've all been ultra-dense high-end boxes (dozens of cores per U) priced into the stratosphere or glorified cell phone devkits (eg Tegra-based stuff) that don't sport enough memory (or other expandability) to run a modern desktop OS. /rant - Solomon -- Solomon Peachy pizza at shaftnet dot org Delray Beach, FL ^^ (email/xmpp) ^^ Quidquid latine dictum sit, altum viditur.
