I can imagine that there would be people who do want cheap, low-power parallel compute, but speaking for myself, I’ve got no particular use for that today. Personally, if they have available resources for Linux, I’d rather that they go towards improving support for beefier systems like their GPUs, doing parallel compute on Radeons. That’s definitely an area that I’ve seen people complain about being under-resourced on the dev side.

I have no idea if it makes business sense for them, but if they can do something like a 80GB GPU (well, compute accelerator, whatever) that costs a lot less than $43k, that’d probably do more to enable the kind of thing that @fhein@lemmy.world is talking about.
