POWER9 and talos were interesting before the launch of ryzen, but now you can get 32 faster cores vs 8 slower cores for around the same price, its no contest whatsoever for the vast majority of people.

I am sorry to be so blunt, but you clearly have no understanding of the importance of having a fully open and auditable high performance system without any remote management devices or dark corners in the hardware or the firmware for backdoors to lurk in.

The talos II absolutely has a remote management openBMC controller, second 99.9% of people absolutely do not care about this sorta thing, for better or worse, it has nothing to do with me.

First class expensive. Lobotomy of the masses comprehensive. Economy cheap, more money to keep.
