Like do they sell a service or a product. Do they sell hardware, software or something else? it is very confusing.

Hopefully raising money helps them iterate faster on their hardware so they’re not so far behind.
Looking forward to the discounted DDR3 Opteron-based option.

They charge a premium for their hardware due to the software. They have plenty of room for RAM price fluctuations. It would nowhere near double the price.

I know you’re joking, but anything DDR3 based is really slow and power inefficient relative to current gen hardware.
Disclaimer: I work at Oxide.
From the inside, is Oxide a place where a fresh grad can actually be useful? Or is the "complexity floor" of hardware/software co-design so high that you really just need a few decades of experience to be effective? I'd love a reality check on whether I should keep Oxide as a long-term 10-year goal or if there’s a path for people starting out.
