Offtopic, I'm so confused why this is top1 on my HN? Just a pretty normal build?

Normal ARM64 80 core system with $1000 EATX motherboard? How is this typical?

Depends on how you look at it.

Would you call Threadripper system "a normal build"? For many people they are normal builds because they need more computing power or more PCIe lanes than "normal user" desktop has.

On the other side you have those who pretend to use raspberry/pi 3 as "an Arm desktop" despite only 1GB of ram and 4 sluggish cores.
