All of these approaches are bandaids to a problem of big, fat, inefficient x86 cpus.

I know how to cool CPUs such that they can run under load for days and weeks and be relatively quiet.

The point is: the m series chips get you a crap ton of performance with utter silence. The m2 pro Mac minis — amazing. No fans whatsoever.

Again, if m2 is enough for you, you're not the target audience.

Some professionals have workloads that require more multi core perf (not to mention proper Linux support). And running those dead silent is trivial.
