Challenge me, or correct me, but don't ask me to die quietly.

They must have come to the conclusion that even a dual-core Cortex-A15 doesn't cut it anymore in the present AI (Artificial Intelligence) and ML (Machine Learning) days, so now they have come with
The BeagleBone AI-64
Key features of the BeagleBone AI-64
- Based on a powerful Texas Instruments TDA4VM processor with dual Arm Cortex-A72 microprocessor subsystem @ 2GHz
- C7x+MMA (a matrix multiply accelerator of no less than 8 TOPS!) and 2 C66x floating-point VLIW DSPs
- 3x dual Arm Cortex-R5 co-processors
- 2x 6-core Programmable Real-Time Unit and Industrial Communication SubSystem (PRU-ICSSG)
- 4GB LPDDR4 RAM
- 16GB onboard eMMC flash storage
- 5V DC input power
- USB 3.0 Type-C interface for power input and data
- Dual USB super-speed (5Gbps) Type-A host ports
- miniDisplayPort, 2 x 4-Lane DSI display connector
- 16-pin microcontroller header
- Expansion headers compatible with many BeagleBone Black cape add-on boards
- Gigabit ethernet M.2 E-key connector with PCIe, USB and SDIO for WiFi/Bluetooth and expansion
- Dual 4-Lane CSI camera connectors
- Micro-SD slot
- 1x Boot button, 1x Reset Button, 1x Power button
- 1x Power indication LED, 5x User LEDs
- Wake-up domain serial port
- Main domain serial port
- JTAG 10pin Tag-Connector for debug
- Assembled heat-sink
All this for some $180, I'm afraid...

I managed to find a 2nd hand BeagleBone AI on 'Marktplaats', the Dutch version of eBay, mixed with Craigslist.
The least it can do is crunch Universe@Home....and I hope more.
