And dual HDMI, dual USB4, and dual 2.5Gb Ethernet. A pretty solid little system, though somewhat expensive at $999.

This looks like a Mac Studio next to a Mac Mini. Looks quite good actually.

My new GP wants to know how I'm not dead and made me swear to go to the ER if the numbers got worse. Seems like just ignoring health issues can only get you so far.
(Checking in though with my home BP machine that sparked the crisis, the numbers got better. Which doesn't mean I am better, just that things are trending in the right direction.)

So, hypothetically, what would it look like if a bunch of dumbass central planners got the semi fabs to commit to overproduction, and crashed the processor market. Alternatively, hypothetically, what would it look like if a bunch of PRC assets were intentionally trying to screw with US fab capacity? If either of those had happened, might a central government answer be to encourage investors to buy chips, and flush a bunch of flops down the toilet. Good thing we could not possibly be working in such a fantastical world.

The A9 Mega looks competitive with the Corsair AI Workstation, with a lower price and dual 2.5Gbit NICs. It will be interesting to see what sort of toys show up next year in this niche.
