Cool.
Now make a mainboard with a POWER 10 (IBM)
and
something like the Altra Max M128
Would probably need to create a "hood", extender between the case and they keyboard to fit. and increase the fans a it </s>

Sadly POWER10 is not entirely open and the reasonning behind having a power laptop/computer was to have an entirely open computer
Raptor yesterday officially announced that we're not getting Power10 systems. The idea is we're going to be getting something better: the Solid Silicon S1. It's Power ISA 3.1 and fully compatible, but it's also a fully blob-free OpenPOWER successor to the POWER9, avoiding Power10's notorious binary firmware requirement for OMI RAM and I/O.
[…] the S1's specs, and he said it's a PCIe 5.0 DDR5 part running from the high 3GHz to low 4GHz clock range, with the exact frequency range to be determined. (OMI-based RAM not required!) The S1 is bi-endian, SMT-4 and will support at least two sockets with an 18-core option confirmed for certain and others to be evaluated. This compares very well with the Power10, which is also PCIe 5.0, also available as SMT-4 (though it has an SMT-8 option), and also clocks somewhere between 3.5GHz and 4GHz.
I have not heard of Solid Silicon before, and their website[1] does not reveal much other than indirectly ascertaining the non-laptop factor of the S1 SoC(?).[0] https://www.talospace.com/2023/10/the-next-raptor-openpower-...
Getting AMD on board could be a little trickier but could be feasible with a compute SOC deal balancing the deal out (this is a pipe dream).
