NOT my video!!!
Bumped into this right now, it seems perfect for LinuxCNC as it is the industrial version of the PS5 APU with 16GB of GDDR memory (8GB CPU/8GB GPU by default). Notice he is using the wrong fans for it, the cooler is made for radial fans, not axial.
Playing CyberPunk 2077 while making chips and costing 96$ !!! Perfection...granted the latency is usable.
If anyone is wiling to send one my way for testing, let me know, i have no way of ordering it for now.
The thing is, those were used for mining crypto, so should be made in huge numbers by Asrock and be readily available, and for the price and performance puts RPI5 in a coma and life support from the get-go.

Cheapest I could find on AliExpress was 180 AUD still way above what I've paid for a RPi5 locally, even if I add the RPi power supply.
The RPi is brand new and unused.
And to tell the truth the RPi5 works really really well.
But yeah the BC-250 does look interesting.

And I know we have very differing opinions on the RPi5.
Maybe it's time for an old skool Flame War
