If you impose export controls on the BCM2837 (core used by Raspberry Pi 3), you’ll just get drop-in Chinese replacements like AllWinner H616 and RockChip RK3288.

It’s not that likely they’re using Pi 4 or Pi 5 SoCs because there’s a supply crunch there (28nm and 16nm respectively and both use LPDDR4) and there’s plenty of BCM2835-BCM2837 in old stock + they use a 40nm process that’s much less crowded than the current SoC silicon market.

Anything older than BCM2837 in the Pi lineup would not have enough performance for MV.

Are you pointing to a price-performance degradation or a measurable degradation on hardware with all other factors controlled? The latter doesn’t exist.

All the SEO slop that appears similar to your link (that I’m definitely not clicking) are for PC builders and nobody is making these outrageous claims for server builders.

There are workloads that demand a higher memory-to-compute ratio than others. Web server? Throw them a bone sure. But they mainly want computing power. Big database? Can’t have enough, and can’t have them fast enough. Especially when a single index can be multiple gigabytes big.

They accelerate emerging standards like USB 4 and UMA that’s being used by other parties now.

I am no fanboy but I can’t point to hardware or privacy-centric innovations from any other FAANG without Apple’s involvement.

I’ve just started blocking SEO slop while using ddg on my main computer. Makes my life easier if it’s just DigitalOcean blogs rather than geeksforgeeks or linuxvox. The latter being full-on ai slop. At least DO/Vultr/whatever actually bothers with content quality because it’s their PaaS.
