Hmm, the 128-core Ampere Altra CPU is already available, and in a case from System76. I wonder what else differentiates it.

If they're going to build CPUs I wish they had used Risc-V instead. They are using it somewhat already.

You can see here[1] what the specs are for the CPU (listed as "NVIDIA Vera Rubin Superchip").

The CPU is integrated with two Rubin GPUs but each of the CPU cores has dedicated FP8 acceleration as well.
