i thought my post was already too long to include this, but to your point, you can run AI inference in this setup and the performance can be pretty good.

I appreciate you making the post not about AI.

Yeah it is obviously actually useful for AI inference over which the pcie speed isn't particularly important and a single board computer gets you a small system.
