Regarding peoples "moans": Small scale, combined with high tech, cutting edge is $$$$$$, meaning lots and lots of money.
$3.7mill doesnt sound that bad for a new high end arch. i would expect intel,amd,via to spend at least twice that much and even then i guess im thinking small, its probably more? idk, just a supission basied on my understanding from reading lukes posts from the rhombus-tech project (eoma68). One can’t compare smaller volume to large volume big brand/OEM like HP. its really not fair to ask for the same spec, same price when its a lot smaller scale/quantity’s. So they raised more than first eoma58 based products crowdfund but relative to the amount they where asking? whats the ratio? isnt that the number to make any comparisons by? for me, i found it most tempting, but i really dont need 128GB ram. 16GB ram is enough for me. i guess i could have gotten the motherboard... really wanted a small ready made option or package... hmm arr well i donated anyway. for me if i can use it for the next 10years and if its going to save me money on the electric bill, compared to my current hand down to me, old pcs then it feels easier to convince the lord of the funds to let me splash :D maybe an way for big efforts like talos to succeed is other projects that start out with smaller financial needs like eoma68 products and with success as time goes by, money and clout get gained and maybe that can make for a stepping stone for huge attempts like talos. but talos was ready to go now.... if only they got the money :) arr maybe we didn’t promote it enough...? i know i didnt :| i thought it would be ok...
