Yes we do. |

TALOS 2? g505s laptop? kgpe-d16? novena? |

I play new games at max settings on a pre-PSP AMD system KGPE-D16 where |
18 |
I have installed a libre firmware for the board and the BMC via the |
19 |
recent OpenBMC port (the facebook version of OpenBMC....less features |
20 |
than the IBM version but still quite nice) |
21 |
|
22 |
The TALOS 2 costs less than a brand new xeon system with similar |
23 |
performance and it has better features such as IBM's OpenBMC, PCI-e 4.0, |
24 |
SMT4 etc. |
25 |
The stars have aligned and given us a libre firmware server/workstation |
26 |
that is brand new and very very fast. |
