> Purpose-Built for Agentic AI

From the "fridge purpose-built for storing only yellow tomatoes" and "car only built for people whose last name contains the letter W" series.

When can this insanity end? It is a completely normal garden-variety ARM SoC, it'll run Linux, same as every other ARM SoC does. It is as related to "Agentic $whatever" as your toaster is related to it

These things have hardware FP8 support, and a 1.8TB/s full mesh interconnect between CPUs and GPUs. We can argue about the "agentic" bit, but those are features that don't really matter for any workload other than AI.

The power and importance of marketing is deeply underappreciated by us technical types.

To mis-quote the politician quip:

How can you tell a marketer is lying?

Answer: His/her mouth is moving.
