this being just an ARM server should hopefully limit its potential as e-waste, assuming the cores aren’t absolute dogs for non-LLM workloads? but of course this being attached to AI hype will ensure its price tag is at least 10x what’d typically be considered reasonable for 144 ARM cores on a fast interconnect
e: some more details on the chip from before they went all-in on AI hype. it’s a nice datacenter chip that’ll host a whole lot of vCPUs, but it’s not architecturally innovative in any way I can see other than number going up in terms of performance
