It's handy for me (with a Turing Pi 1) because it's one power (in a flat with distressingly few power outlets) and one ethernet for up to 8 computers. Like a mini-rack, if you will.

> On the other hand, I can buy an Nvidia RTX3080

Good luck with that in the UK. I know someone who ordered on launch date, still hasn't got one, and has been told there's no more coming from that brand...

[edit: to clarify that I have a TPi 1]

Very true on the note of supply. My only counterpoint is that all of Nvidia's products have been supply-constrained, their Jetson line included. The Jetson Xavier NX has a 10 week lead time on Mouser. So it seems that if you're interested in setting up a compute-heavy cluster with Nvidia products, you're just SOL.

Honestly, I've recently gotten a surprise financial windfall, and I could see myself lining up to buy the TPi 2 along with with some 16GB Jetson Orin SoMs if the TPi 2 supports them.

Yeah it’s been tough. I went to a bestbuy in the states and they happened to have several 3080 and 3080ti available… while in the store I checked to see if they listed the inventory online and they did not…
