Powerful 22-core, 18-core server-grade systems with fully open firmware and hardware, fully open BMC, with PCIe 4.0, DDR4 memory with ECC and other modern features [1]. They are FSF RYF (Respects Your Freedom) certified [2]. Truly FOSS hardware. Quite affordable too. I think not many have heard of it. They have fully FOSS desktop processors too (4-core, 8-core).

Now idk whether that's innovation, but it's a big thing IMO. AMD, Intel and ARM have proprietary bits in them that can potentially spy on your entire system (AMD Platform Security Processor, Intel Management Engine)
