This would have been a great edition for the Strix Halo had it been released last year. Not now with the RAM crunch drastically inflating prices and it costing close to Nvidia's DGX Spark. The one benefit it has over the Spark is it's AMD, not ARM, so you can also use it as general purpose computer, not just an AI host.
