    For anybody wondering, that's a TPU (Tensor Processing Unit) made by Google.
    A TPU is basically a GPU without any graphics rendering hardware made specifically for neural network and AI training. They are designed for more efficient low precision calculation without the hardware rendering. Not sure what that's doing in this computer but it probably is for some sort of functionality to work in the Google Meet suite.

    • @delqyrus2619
      @delqyrus2619 Місяць тому +10

      The TPU in this case is simply for audio processing. Google Meet supports about 40 concurrent audio channels, which would lead to a lot of lag if processed lineary by a simple CPU. For gaming purposes i would recommend removing that card, because it is mostly useless and takes up to 2 PCIe lanes, what might influence the speed of other devices.

    Just an FYI, I'm pretty sure adding another stick would automatically throw itself into dual channel mode, that would SIGNIFICANTLY improve IGPU performance on Intel's IGP's and on Windows, the more RAM you have the more memory it allocates to your IGP, so another 16GB stick (If supported) will give you dual channel performance gains PLUS double the amount of virtual memory for the IGP.

    By the way, strictly speaking, Coral TPU is not a GPU.
    It's just a type of ASIC that handles 8-bit floating point calculations.
    Typically, Coral TPU is used to accelerate Machine-learning AI models built with TensorFlow Lite and is used in areas such as real-time video background removal.

    In case anyone is wondering, SPI(Serial Peripheral Interface) is a serial communication protocol that you use for communicating between different IC chips. Probably in this case the SPI was being used to write the firmware to the flash chip. The wp pin stands for write protect. Pin 8 is VCC(input voltage), so when your shorting pin 8 with pin(WP), the SPI module reads a logic high disabling the write protect enabling SPI to write on the memory chip.

    The black rectangles behind the RJ45 Ports are not the Ethernet controllers, they are Magnetic Transformers. They have a coil pair for every lane that runs through your ethernet wire and electrically isolate them from the rest of the PC through a standard toroidal transformer. just like your PSU uses.

    Actually, you can do something. Give up the M.2 drive (use SATA or USB Storage), cut a little hole and install M.2 to Oculink and then attach a decent GPU. The iGPU is really bad for gaming, but other than that - it should be a nice and cheap machine for some gaming :)

Employee # 427’s job was simple: he sat at his desk in room 427 and he pushed buttons on a keyboard. Orders came to him through a monitor on his desk, telling him what buttons to push, how long to push them, and in what order. This is what employee 427 did every day of every month of every year, and although others might have considered it soul rending, Stanley relished every moment that the orders came in, as though he had been made exactly for this job. And Stanley was happy."

    This is absolutely fascinating. Again and again you encounter a technical problem that 99% of people would look at and say "welp, it's broken/doesnt work" and end things there. But you go as far as to modify the very hardware of the device and even make NEW hardware from scratch to connect things that were not intended to be connectable.

    I suppose my one big question would be how it preforms in a Steamlink capacity. The hardware was specifically for streaming video over long distances so I would think that it might actually be really good on the video decoding side of things... if SteamOS was able to use any of the special hardware anyway.

    Something I’ve noticed is that if one pin powers PoE, it would make sense to be on the ethernet side of the board. And you can see some thicc separation for the left side of the power plug. That would’ve resuced the number of likely 19v pins to 2, and checking for ground explicitly is usually a good idea.
