The Alafia Aivas SuperWorkstation claims to be the world's most powerful 
all-in-one PC ever built.

FULL STORY
======================================================================

A super-powerful all-in-one PC has been unveiled by Alafia AI, a startup 
specializing in advanced imaging appliances. 

The Alafia Aivas SuperWorkstation is a medical imaging behemoth powered by an 
Ampere Altra Max 128 ARM v8.2+ 64-bit CPU running at 3.0GHz, and Nvidia GPUs. 

The SuperWorkstation sports a 27-inch 4K touch-sensitive rotating display and 
comes with 2TB DDR4 memory and an 8TB SSD expandable up to 72TB. Won't run 
Windows 

Alafia AI claims the GPUs have up to 28,416 cores, but were not entirely sure 
of the setup. Toms Hardware says the device has Nvidia RTX 4000 and RTX A3000 
GPUs but the latest specs revealed at Embedded World 2024 say only that its 
powered by a single Nvidia RTX card, with AI acceleration provided by the 
"three Nvidia Tesla Ada Architecture Tensor Core GPUs". Nvidia retired the 
Tesla brand in May 2020. We've asked Alafia AI for clarification. 

The SuperWorkstation doesnt run Windows, instead it has a custom OS (ALAFIA 
OS 24.04 LTS) for AI inference and medical healthcare. The workstation 
reportedly features a custom cooling solution to manage its 700w power 
consumption efficiently. 

The machine has two Intel X550 RJ45 (10GbE) one Intel i210 (1GbE) RJ45 ports 
and can drive three additional screens via HDMI, DP and miniDP ports, at up 
to 8K. There are also USB-C 3.2 and USB-A 3.2 ports, and connectivity is 
provided in the form of Wi-Fi 7 802.11be and Bluetooth 5.4. 

The company plans a Q2 2024 hardware release, and as you might expect theres 
no actual published pricing  potential buyers will need to contact the 
company directly for that. More from TechRadar Pro Nvidia Grace server CPU 
can compete with AMD's superfast Threadripper 7000 Maingear and Phison 
deliver a quad-GPU system using Nvidia's RTX 6000 Ada Nvidia's ridiculously 
fast CPU is a surprising beast
