Class or instance

Hello @SamB:, Setun (Q2877829) is class of computers. This class contains 46 instances. The most artices in Wikipedia are about compiter classes, not about concrete instances. Only few exceptions present, for example ENIAC (Q169399). — Ivan A. Krestinin (talk) 20:13, 2 April 2015 (UTC)

@Ivan A. Krestinin:: Well, um, most of the other things that use this property seem to be instances. I'm beginning to wonder if the whole instance-of/subclass-of distinction is actually helpful, but I also wonder: did you include instances of subclasses? --SamB (talk) 22:09, 2 April 2015 (UTC)

Sorry, I do not understand your last question. Instance of computer is concrete device produced in concrete date with concrete unique serial number. This device was sell to some concrete user and worked until concrete date. PlayStation 2 (Q10680), Commodore CBM-II (Q379710) or Apple III (Q420769) are not about concrete device instance. These articles describe device type (device model). So Apple III (Q420769) is subclass of computer (Q68), not instance of computer (Q68). Instance/subclass difference is not simple thing, so many errors present in Wikidata items. — Ivan A. Krestinin (talk) 22:36, 2 April 2015 (UTC)

System-on-a-chip

I'm puzzled about system-on-a-chip devices, that contain a processor and/or GPU core. Shoud the CPU (P880) and GPU (P2560) properties be set to the system-on-a-chip device, as I did on Banana Pi BPI-M1 (Q64821105) by setting them to Allwinner A20 (Q2837438), or should they be set to the underlying cores, i.e., ARM Cortex-A7 (Q2819372) and Mali-400 MP (Q1121699)? Ghouston (talk) 05:32, 25 June 2019 (UTC)

I've been thinking about this myself, and it vexes me as well. I almost think the best option would be to have SOC be its own property. There's a lot more in most SOCs then just CPU+GPU after all, as I'm sure you know, and some SOCs lack a dedicated GPU, so I think the differentiation is useful.

"peripheral equipment"

Added peripheral (Q178648) (and subclasses) as allowed instances. This is because often computer peripherals have embedded CPUs. For example, Commodore floppy disk drives (e.g. Commodore 1541 (Q1756973)) have embedded 6502 CPUs. SJK (talk) 08:50, 1 January 2020 (UTC)

We could just as well make it appliance (Q1183543), since any piece of complex equipment can potentially have an embedded CPU. Ghouston (talk) 11:22, 1 January 2020 (UTC)
