They're not show-stoppers compared to Western tech, but they could still be good workstations.

    This is some really expensive hardware for a processor that’s a couple generations behind in performance.

    Also, I’m surprised these can be shipped to the US. I thought this tech was sanctioned or something related to it, or perhaps, it might soon be.

    EDIT: Ah, looks like it’s legal to purchase even as an entry on the US Entity List, but I am not a lawyer.

      A couple generations don’t mean much anymore.

      Performance gains have been slow.

      I’d rather understand where exactly is its performance in comparison to AMD and Intel.

      Then I can make a call if it is worth it.

      After all there’s plenty of Raspberry Pi level performance and people are happy with it as long as price is right.

      Less than $400 for mobo, cpu and fan is not expensive even if it’s a couple of gens behind

        I can get an AMD 7800X3D, a b650 mobo, and 32Gb of DDR5 RAM for $500 right now in a bundle from my local Microcenter. I bought that exact bundle for like $425 a few months ago when I rebuilt my gaming PC because they happened to have some other sale running that stacked with the bundle price. Gimme a modern x64 processor and DDR5 RAM I know will feasibly last me like 10 years for a few extra bucks any day.
