What's the advantage of having a "one size fits all" machine? I imagine there's quite a range of uses and preferences for these machines. e.g some people are going to be spending more time waiting for a single core and so would prefer a smaller core count and higher clock, other people want a machine that's as wide as possible. Some people would value performance over correctness and so would likely not want ECC. etc. I've heard a number of horror stories of people ending up with hardware that's not well suited to their tasks just because that was the only hardware on the list. -Jeff _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
