This is the fastest Arm desktop in the world, yes, even faster than the M2 Ultra Mac Pro. And today, I made it even faster.
I upgraded everything: Faster RAM, 128 core CPU, 40 series GPU, I did it all, and we’ll see how much we can obliterate the M2 Mac Pro.
As of today, I have this thing running 128 CPU cores at 2.8 GHz. I upgraded the RAM to 384 GB of DDR4 3200 ECC RAM, specifically six Samsung 64 GB sticks. I installed an Nvidia 4070 Ti.
It’s running both Ubuntu 22.04 Server and Windows 11 for Arm now. I even got Steam installed on Ubuntu, after so many commenters kindly pointed out Box86 and Box64 exist!
Interesting read. It’s weird seeing a regular 4070 in an ARM desktop. Didn’t know that was possible, but I guess why not.
