Thanks for sharing, this looks awesome ! I can't waut for the opensource release.

Btw, did I skip through the article too fast or is tomhardware unable to provide links in its content ? /rant

Anyway, here are the ones that seemed relevant to me.

Official website (kinda empty at the moment, but it's going in my bookmarks)

Author's Youtube channel

Hackernews original discussion in which the author states:

Let's be clear here, this is a toy. Beyond being a fun project to work on that could maybe get my foot in the door were I ever to decide to change careers and move into hardware design, this is not going to change the GPU landscape or compete with any of the commercial players. What it might do is pave the way for others to do interesting things in this space. A board with all of the video hardware that you can plug into a computer with all the infrastructure available to play around with accelerating graphics could be a fun, if extremely niche, product. That would also require a significant time and money investment from me, and that's not something I necessarily want to deal with. When this is eventually open-sourced, those who really are interested could make their own boards.

It always baffles me what someone considers "a toy". Remember Linux? Yeah, it was a toy and "never going to be big". GIMP is a homework. I love small projects like this and their potential.
