Item lore

We built the Hawking for the professional who has reached the limit of what 32 cores can do.

Named after Stephen Hawking the physicist who pushed human understanding beyond every perceived boundary the Hawking is the flagship of the Brutech Threadripper range and the most powerful workstation we build. The AMD Ryzen Threadripper 9980X brings 64 cores and 128 threads of Zen 5 architecture double the cores of the Newton for sustained multi-threaded throughput at a scale that redefines what a single workstation can accomplish. Paired with the NVIDIA RTX 5000 Blackwell 48GB of ECC-protected VRAM, professional-certified drivers, and ISV certifications for enterprise software. 128GB DDR5, 4TB NVMe primary storage, 60TB additional storage, 1600W platform, and POP!_OS Linux pre-installed.

This is not a workstation for professional ambition. This is a workstation for professionals who have already mastered their field and need their hardware to keep up. Backed by our 5-year warranty. Hand-assembled by us in Secunda. Zero bloatware.

// Darwin and Edison use CPU inference for the 30B LLM row (16GB of VRAM is not enough for Q8 weights). Newton through Einstein use full GPU inference. Cinebench 2024 nT shows the published multi-core score for the processor (24 cores for Darwin and Edison, 64 cores for Hawking and Einstein). Every other row is an estimate from Brutech's own performance index, not a performance guarantee.
