It's kind of WTF? when you see the ARM stuff.
That's not the reason.
The average person here might think a supercomputer is interesting for a bit, but how many of us will ever comes across an actual supercomputer by modern standards in person?
The reason is that ARM platforms are still a mishmash of a mess and the more easily customisable SBC's lag new core announcements by years - it's kind of sad that we got all excited for RPi4 being A72 based in 2019 isn't it?
We are still waiting on the first A76 based SBC's 2 and a half years later, even streamers only just started seeing A55 cores with the new Chromecast.
Not to mention that there probably still isn't an SBC that can even match the 5 1/2 year old Tegra X1 for graphics horsepower, let alone a GPU from any modern flagship phone SoC that could smite the TX1 with ease.
If there were a relatively simple way to disassemble a state of the art smartphone to reuse the SoC/memory as an SBC then we could really get the ball rolling tout suite.
