I don't think Talos I was ever released. They created a backlash last time by hyping an unavailable and unaffordable product so maybe the low-key approach is better.

There was a crowdfunding campaign, but it failed.
This new product however can be directly preordered (and for much lower price: the board costs little more than half of what Talos 1 would have and the CPUs they are offering right now cost about a quarter of the cheapest option back then)
I don't know, if they don't have any units the can give out to do tests on at this point, what are the odds that the whole thing isn't another round of vapourware? I hope I'm wrong.
[ed: That is to say, if they couldn't get the one tested because it didn't exist, they should be twice as hard at work getting the mk II tested - and I can't see any evidence of that either.]
I mean, if I had too much cash, I'd be tempted to get one, but I'd probably be even.more likely if I could see some blender rendering benchmarks and Linux kernel compile timings etc...
