Just rebranded chineese low quality BS. So, probably, we will never see Amazon Basics GPU/CPU.


Based on the article it looks like a Cooler Master rebrand. Cooler Master is not Chinese. It's also not low quality, they're one of the most well regarded names in PC cooling. Their Hyper 212 line has been one of the most recommended coolers since I can remember -- well over a decade, at least.


The Amazon Basics Graviton ARM SoC currently powers Ubiquiti's networking hardware.

So far not much to write home about for that product line, though perhaps supply issues from Amazon or an unwillingness to provide vendor credit is why Ubiquiti is constantly out of stock of so many SKUs of products.


Gravitron is Amazon basics? It's a different segment entirely. Amazon basics targets low-cost consumer devices and items. Im not targeting amazon here but the segment.


Why not gravitons? A recent post about them had very positive comments from HN.


They seem supply constrained for external customwrs to buy, look at alk the Ubiquiti out of stock devices that depend on them.


> Amazon pitches its Basics line as providing keenly priced, no-fuss and reliable products

It is also very silent, because it doesn't rotate. /s
