We called them “luggables”. They’re expensive, but having a server in a box with a monitor was worth it when you could lug it to a customer site and give a live demo of your server stuff. We were doing telephony stuff and you could put a $5000 dialogic pcie card in it and demonstrate call handling live. We can do that with software on a standard issue laptop these days, but the luggable helped seal the deal back in 2005.
from the still they are doing can you break glass with your voice myth.
High speed cameras use a lot of bandwidth a 1080p 60fps is about 4Mb/s. now imagine a 1080p at 2000fps. you need a bit of guts to store and process that
It’s from pirate special myth, from the number you provided and if my math aren’t wrong that’s about 8Gb/s, that is a lot of data to transfer and process every second, this is from 10 years ago computer hardware that’s nut
Bandwidth really depends on which busses you’re talking about. Within a computer, 8Gb/s is peanuts.
Even in 2003, a single PCIE v1.0 lane could do 2 Gb/s. Today, in the end-user commercial space, a single PCIE 5.0 lane can do 32Gb/s. That’s a connection that can be external to some degree. Not even talking about memory busses and internal caches that are already approaching terabytes a second.
I had a 286 like that (but better build quality), just plug in 220volt and the plasma screen came to life! A 20 MB drive offered a lot of storage space too.
It’s called a FieldGO. https://www.bsicomputer.com/page/fieldgo-f7-portable-computer
That’s interesting, a portable desktop with good hardware? I thought such thing didn’t exist at least commercially
