I had hoped this was about Medusa Halo, but unfortunately, it's about 2025 technology. It's the same as Framework Desktop was at the end of last summer, which would have been a slightly silly but fun buy at $2k... I'd hope Mark Cerny / Sony launch PS6 sooner rather than later, as together with the upcoming LPDDR6 standard, it should trickle down to us in the local LLM mud eventually?

With the current RAM and SSD prices... I rather a bit later.

True, this is the new reality though. My main gripe with Strix Halo is memory bandwidth and compute performance. Gaming performance sits squarely in base PS5 territory just as is the case with Steam Machine AFAIR; yet due to economies of scale "cheap" 2020 era PS5 still has higher memory bandwidth by quite a bit last time I checked.

PS6 "undertaker of physical media" will supposedly be priced >$1k: https://youtu.be/-F1JS-4Abjo
