So I’ve talked with other entrepreneurs and VCs in the hardware area - and one thing I noticed is it took me over a minute to explain why LibreSOC is useful - which is too long!!
So after much thinking, I condensed the utility of LibreSOC into the 15 second essentials.
Please have a look here.
https://libre-soc.org
Also, is it possible to turn of the sub .1 .2… on the Jumbotron header?
Possible throughout the website overall - it’s not as helpful as I had thought it’d be.

lower power, lower software development costs, lower hardware costs
due to no licensing royalties.
very simple.

Yep yep. But the thing I’ve found really catches on is the GPU aspect.
Basically - the question was - what else does LIbreSOC offer besides being an open ARM chip,
and the answer that caught people’s attention was, we have a non-trash GPU solution.
So I tried to capture that on our front page.

We’re obviously not ARM, but then I have to explain what POWER is…

yes.
here is those benefits i mentioned.
lower power because it is integrated (a hybrid) single CPUGPUVPU.
lower software development cost because not only is the source code
entirely libre, the drastically simpler driver model combined with the full
source means that single-stepping into the ACTUAL 3D ENGINE is possible.
that is flat out impossible on a proprietary GPU, not because you can't
single step across a kernel level PCIe bus to a completely different
processor, but how the hell do you synchronise debugging when the remote
instruction set is utterly different from the main core??
lower hardware costs due to no licensing is pretty obvious.

if you make the deliberate mistake of saying "POWER PC" they get it because
of apple laptops.
