upcoming SG2380 has 12x P670 which are equivalent to ARM's Cortex A78 cores (so faster than the RK3588's A76) and 4x more P670 which are somehow binned at a slower freqency | 13:42:32 |
 Mic92 | Isn't sifive now also pivoting into a weird direction? | 13:42:33 |
| Pratham Patel | *frequency | 13:42:37 |
| Mic92 | i.e. firing a lot of folks? | 13:42:40 |
| Pratham Patel | Moving a lot of talent to India, as one does | 13:43:01 |
| Pratham Patel | And serving big customers, as one does | 13:43:28 |
| Pratham Patel | Look at what they did to Horse Creek. It was once as sought after as the HiFive Unmatched successor, but years later, we only see a tiny demo at the Ubuntu Summit (might have the event wrong but it was demonstrated by some Ubuntu/Canonical folks) in ~Nov 2023. No pricing yet. | 13:44:56 |
| Pratham Patel | Milk-V's Oasis will easily beat it in almost every single metric now | 13:45:18 |
 K900 | Well 16 cores is a lot more than 4 cores either way | 13:46:11 |
| K900 | And builders mostly do want more cores | 13:46:16 |
| Pratham Patel | with up-to 96 GB RAM and 16x (maybe 16x physical but 8x electrical) PCIe 4.0 | 13:47:31 |
| Pratham Patel | it's gonna be a monster | 13:47:39 |
| Pratham Patel | starts at $120 USD; haven't told how much RAM that will have; and yes, the RAM is soldered | 13:48:10 |
 fgaz | is mITX going to fit in the rack though? | 13:48:47 |
| Mic92 | can be mITX bee grouped into 4 boards in rack unit? | 13:49:11 |

with up-to 96 GB RAM and 16x (maybe 16x physical but 8x electrical) PCIe 4.0 also 5x memory channels IIRC, so best to get the 96GB model to get max memory bandwidth, I am guessing they will order the same SKU of RAM to save cost and the $120 model is gonna have only one channel populated | 13:49:27 |
| Mic92 | * can mITX be grouped into 4 boards in rack unit? | 13:49:48 |
| Mic92 | * can mITX be grouped in 4 boards per rack unit? | 13:50:03 |
| Pratham Patel | idk about mounting in rack but there is a 2U case kinda like two boxes mashed next to each other to fit two mITX mobos together, was mentioned in the follow up Ampere + HL45 NAS video by Jeff; hold on, lemme go check | 13:50:50 |

| Mic92 | Reminds me of solutions for macMinis | 13:55:16 |

 raitobezarius | I don't know if it's feasible | 15:52:30 |
| raitobezarius | But I'd love to have an auto-retry on buildbot nix-eval | 15:52:38 |
| raitobezarius | otherwise I basically have to let the eval fail, click rebuild myself to run CI | 15:52:52 |

 @accelbread:matrix.org | I have a question about repo criteria for nix-community; nix-community/flakelight (a flake framework) has a few module repos available, and one of them has been seeing use and is stable (accelbread/flakelight-rust); would that be something that should be put in nix-community? Also asking since a contributor is working on a darwin module that seems like it'll be useful and would benefit from shared ownership | 17:38:02 |
