I wonder if the K1 is going to be an appropriate chip for a 2028 smartphone?

Will it even be able to drive an external 4K display like the i.MX 8M Quad on the Librem 5 v1? If not, the convergence feature becomes moot. Life is too short to deal with blurry text on your monitor.

I want Purism to succeed, they’ve been an important catalyst for the Linux phone ecosystem. But this is just eye watering. $1600 plus taxes and shipping to the EU amounts to 2000 EUR.

Would have been sweet to socket the CPU/RAM on a single edge connected PCB to usher in a ATX of brick phones. I miss standards in computing...
