Man, I’d sure love to see the costs of POWER chips come down a bit, given the Intel Management Engine and AMD’s equivalent. A good general purpose CPU that doesn’t contain a backdoor is great, but it looks like getting a workstation will run you >4k$

Ideally mining usage could help drive volume for economies of scale, or at least provide a good used market once this particular boom dies down.
