Can the world's fastest Arm desktop handle gaming? And before that, can it even install Windows?
See my first video on this desktop here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wl5H5rT87JE
Adlink/Ampere did not pay for this video or sponsor it in any way, and had no input into the content of the video. They did, however, supply the hardware under test, so I have added the 'Sponsored' disclaimer to this video and am disclosing the extent of the relationship here.
