I saw this earlier and was thinking of picking one up and testing it.
Try to build an ITX case with a flex or smaller PSU and get some kind of low budget gaming PC.

I definitely will.
Just gotta hope I'm tech-savvy enough to actually get it working.
It'll definitely be a learning experience, if nothing else.

He probably is right about the PS3 game situation, $$$$.
FF13 series is still unplayable on a PS4 or PS5, it is on a Xbox Series or Xbox One, and of course PC.

Saw this the other night and he's spot on. Literally no reason to pick these up but they're cheap. The expensive part other than shipping price is the headache.
It's allegedly a cut down PS5 restructured to close specs of my workstation when stripped out. Soooo effectively a R5 3600 with an RX 580.
The "not all games are perfectly playable" with bright rainbow lightmap glitching is exactly what I experience in VR when temps go over 65℃.
It is a symptom of bad vcore and cooling. The x2 rendering is garbage and tessellation goes kerchunk until you exit out of the game or reboot.
What he doesn't show is the super bizarre breakage and recovery of a preselected rigid body in the map where some kind of geometry is miscalculated,
Effectively breaking an entire portion of a 3D model. Imagine taking a random vertice of a model and repositioning it roughly ~600px in some random direction.
That's the best way I can describe the disfigurement. Of course if you see these for $50 and you can get the GPU h264 encoder to work with OBS, that's a streaming jackpot.
It's never going to happen.

ASRock AMD Crypto Mining Rig 4U12G - 12x AMD BC-250
$389 will get you 12 of them and the rest of the system. be fun to play with. Sure it's used mining equipment, but a cool toy no doubt. comes with 2 x 1200w psu.

Ok, so just a theoretical:
The NVME drive is probably 4.0x4 since it is based off the ps5 right? What if you got a NVME to x16 slot GPU adapter and plugged a regular GPU (something like a Rx 6600) into this? Then, run the OS off a USB 3.0 port with an external SSD.
Probably could even get windows to run this way?

I can get Windows to run from a USB chipdisk, so I'm not too concerned about getting it to work unlike video guy.
The entire issue is the MESA/RX6700 device itself and getting proper hardware detection and drivers working under NOT WinPE.
In short, it would be a headache. Is it within sight? Yes. Is it within reach? Probably not. We don't know.

It arrived...
I grabbed the PSU from my Razer Core X and a blower fan from a Dell Optiplex and got this janky setup going, duct tape and all.
Turned on the power, and it started outputting video. So far so good, so I rebooted and mashed delete...
Sweet, it can boot from USB. Plugged my Ventoy drive into it...
That was too easy. I selected my Windows to Go image to boot...
...and it booted into Windows with no issues (aside from no GPU drivers).
And there we go, the BC-250 booted into Windows 10. It has 6 cores, 12 threads, 16GB of memory (though only 4GB are usable), and an R7 2700X wipes the floor with it.
Interesting that it reports as an AMD 4700S. I mean, it's the same SoC, so not sure what else I would've expected.
One more pic of my janky setup after some small adjustments for good measure...
Next step is to put an NVMe drive in it and see how far I can get in Windows. Stay tuned...

...and it booted into Windows with no issues (aside from no GPU drivers).
And there we go, the BC-250 booted into Windows 10. It has 6 cores, 12 threads, 16GB of memory (though only 4GB are usable), and an R7 2700X wipes the floor with it.
Interesting that it reports as an AMD 4700S. I mean, it's the same SoC, so not sure what else I would've expected.
One more pic of my janky setup after some small adjustments for good measure...
Next step is to put an NVMe drive in it and see how far I can get in Windows. Stay tuned...

What are the maximum clocks?
For reference, a stock 3300X does 536 ST and 2908 MT in CPU-Z with a 4.35 GHz and 4.2 GHz clock, respectively.

It seems to go up to 3.5-3.6GHz.

That thing looks sweet. I'm wondering if it has virtualization enabled(or even available)? Cause the whole 12-piece rig would be perfect for running a ton of VMs.
A few months back I've seen a video on this thing at CraftComputing, but Jeff gave up pretty much as soon as he saw that GPU drivers aren't functional. I'm more interested in something like a bunch of bare VMs running Windows or Linux even without GPU acceleration.

There is an SVM option in the BIOS, I'll have to see if I actually enabled it or not.
Man, I wish I had the space for an entire rack of these just to screw around with.
EDIT: SVM is enabled in the BIOS,
Geekbench results:

So basically, a Steam Deck with six cores (makes sense) or a tiny bit slower than an R5 2600X.

That would suggest the same boost clock as the PS5 SoC at 3.5 GHz and lower than the 4.0 GHz clock of the 4700S/4800S desktop kits based on the same hardware.
