    AMD Epyc Bergamo / Genoa (9734/9534) for ~40% of MSRP (and "free" mboard) @ NewEgg (2023/07/16)

    Yes, I agree (assuming there's nothing untoward about the CPU; e.g. is it a QS CPU?). I was part way through purchasing the parts for a Supermicro / Genoa build (MB: H13SSL-NT-O, CPU: Genoa 9224), but on seeing these I decided I'd return those parts for a refund, and pay the extra to get one of...

    AMD Epyc Bergamo / Genoa (9734/9534) for ~40% of MSRP (and "free" mboard) @ NewEgg (2023/07/16)

    There was at least one available this morning. Totally agree about NewEgg sometimes being a bit "iffy", and on the potential dubiousness of the "market sellers" - basically same potential risk as with Amazon seller's or Ebay - but these are sold, warehoused and shipped by NewEgg, so hopefully...

    Project TinyMiniMicro: Reviving Small Corporate Desktops

    Looks like Lenovo is getting very close to unleashing the Ryzen 4000 Serries [APU] based m75q Gen 2... it's listed on the Lenovo web site in many counties [not in the USA], and PDFs / reference material is already avialable. "Datasheet" ThinkCentre M75q Gen 2 | Enterprise-level 1L PC | |...

    AMD V1000 with PCIE x8

    We found a cheap[ish] one... it's in the OP. GigaIPC AMD Ryzen V1605B Quad Display Dual GbE LAN Mini ITX Motherboard The question I asked was if anyone had taken the plunge and purchased the GigaIPC board... It's ~$320 USD for a mini-ITX motherboard with an included low-power [12-25 W]...

    BestBuy - 12TB Easystore USB HDD - $180

    Correct, Correct. The issue was with the 4TB and 6 TB Reds, which aren't available capacities in the BestBuy / WD exclusive EasyStore series... I've shucked more than twelve of these [8, 12, 14 TB] drives over the past few years, and they've all been good [and NOT SMR]......

    AMD V1000 with PCIE x8

    I just came across this board - the GigaIPC mITX-1605A - via web searches, and came back and found your post. Did you ever take the plunge and purchase one? Still seems like it's only ITX option for Ryzen embedded. It's now $325 USD [plus ~$25 shipping] direct from mitxpc [and...

    Introducing Project TinyMiniMicro Home Lab Revolution

    Do you have a summary/list of the number of machines and services you plan to setup? I ask because I think it would be an interesting price/power usage/size comparison between these individual, "tiny" machines all networked together, and one [or two/three] "mega" servers [say running EPYC]...

    AMD Radeon Pro VII Launches as a DP Workstation Monster

    Very interesting. Compared to the Radeon VII: - Double the FP64 performance... so 1/2 of FP32, instead of 1/4 like the Radeon VII [which is still way better than the consumer Vega 64/56s at 1/16th] - ECC memory - Infinity fabric card-to-card link - Slightly lower clocks [and power...
