Nice, though $3k is still getting pretty pricey. I see mini PCs with a AMD RYZEN AI MAX+ 395 and 96GB of RAM can be had for $2k, or even $1k with less RAM: https://www.gmktec.com/products/amd-ryzen%E2%84%A2-ai-max-395-evo-x2-ai-mini-pc?variant=f6803a96-b3c4-40e1-a0d2-2cf2f4e193ff
I’m looking for something that also does path tracing well if I’m going to drop that kind of coin. It sounds like this chip can be on par with a 4070 for rasterization, but it only gets a benchmark score of 495 for Blender rendering compared to 3110 for even a RTX 4060. RDNA 5 with true RTX cores should drastically change the situation of chips like this, though.
