The folks at Eurocom have released another monster 'mobile workstation'
This time around the company's released the Sky X9W complete with a quad-core, eight-thread, Intel Core i7 6700K capable of operating at 4.2GHz and nestled amidst an Intel Z170 Express (Skylake) chipset. The NVIDIA Quadro M5000M dwarfs the CPU for core count: it's got 1,536 of its own.
Pack in 64GB of DDR4-2133, 2400 or 2666 RAM, if you please, then throw in up to four NVME SSDs and give them the RAID 10 treatment for data protection.
There's also a 17.3 inch 4K screen at 3840 x 2160.
[... it also has] a single USB-C port, a pair of mini display ports capable of driving four monitors, an HDMI outlet, five USB 3.0 ports, a pair of RJ45s and Wi-Fi.
Configurations start at $2930 (and weigh in at 4.8 kg / 10.6 lbs — ouch!) , but you can configure it to a price well over $4000.

Most DARPA research projects had a simple target that they would call "zero zero zero" for short - I forget the three primary units, but the idea was this: If you're not at: zero weight, zero volume, zero power consumption (which is primarily considered as a contributor to weight and volume), zero cost per copy, then you've still got further development to do. Infinite capability wasn't usually a concern, you want a tool that can achieve the mission - if the specs happen to exceed mission requirements without impacting the zero targets, that's great - it might find cross-application in other missions, but specs for specs' sake isn't a goal.
