alt Hacker NewsDunno, nice, quiet, small machine, using standard parts (power supply, motherboard, etc).
If you want the high memory bandwidth get the strix halo, if not get any normal PC. Sure apple has the bandwidth as well, and also soldered memory as well.
If you want dimms and you want the memory bandwidth get a threadripper (4 channel), siena (6 channel), thread ripper pro (8 channel), or Epyc (12 channel). But be prepared to double your power (at least), quadruple your space, double your cost, and still not have a decent GPU.
Nice is subjective. Fractal cases he compares to looks nicer to me.
Quiet? A real PC with bigger fans = more airflow = quieter
Smaller - yes, this is the tradeoff
GPU is always best separate, that is true since the ages.
"double the power" oh no from 100W to 200W wowwww
"quadruple your space" - not a problem
