So I'm cleaning out a house and found a brand new Gateway2k Pentium 4 computer. Someone opened the boxes but never took the computer out, its all still in the plastic and I don't want to ruin the unboxing for someone that is into this. The computer is free to a good home in the Boston metro area to make your retro gaming dreams...
I think 2049 is the 100th anniversary of the current PRC, so a reasonable target for ceremonial goals.
No different than saying an American leader said he wanted a Mars landing for the tricentennial in 2076. It's good symbolism, not necessarily a technical merric.
I think the appeal is that you probably don't need a huge CPU for a lot of workloads-- just something to run an OS, handle talking to the outside world, and configure the GPU/NPU complexes.
I could imagine a something like a Quadro card that had a small RISC-V core built in as a freestanding device, no motherboard needed. Even if the CPU ran like a Core 2 Duo, that would be sufficient for purpose, but it will be a lot easier to license an appropriate RISC-V core than an x86 one.
I feel like the Atmega range asks an awful lot for what you get in 2024.
Of course, that could be because I designed a project around the Teensy++ which was always pricey and promptly disappeared from stock. I redesigned to use a CH32V305 breakout instead- 1/3 the price and probably way more performance which my terrible code is just busy-waiting into the ether.
I like WCH's product line in general; it's full of zany stuff.
So the Nippon Ham company is starting with sausages with bones, and working their way up to the perfectly round cylinder of roasted meat with a large straight bone through the centre that anime and video games have teased us with for decades.

I see wi-fi antennae. What gamer settles for that?
I want to go to an estate agent and say "I want a house so wired that if I down 82 redbulls and punch through the drywall after losing a round of Call of Skyrim, anywhere in the house, I should be able to reach in the hole and pull out a bale of Cat 6."
