FWIW: We received our 7702p server at work and put it to work as a build machine (we do Java development). Compared to our old 7501, builds take around 25% less time to complete, for the same number of threads used. And we have twice as many of those :)
DSD as a format is pointless because it offers no advantages compared to PCM, is space-inefficient and cumbersome to work with from a DSP point of view. The fact that most DACs are Delta Sigma doesn't change this. An analogy of this fallacy would be to say we need to store images in...
You do realize that the discrepancy comes mostly from counting in base 10 vs in base 2?
10^3 byte = 1000 byte = 1 kilobyte (KB)
2^10 byte = 1024 byte = 1 kibibyte (KiB)
Your 500.000.000.000 byte drive has 488.281.250 KiB, 476.837 MiB or 465,6 GiB.
At the higher orders, the discrepancy between...
AMD has VCE.
The format is h.264. x264 is a software encoder implementation of it. Quicksync, NVENC and VCE are hardware implementations of a couple of codecs, one of which is h.264.
You're not entirely wrong though. Current x86 is a hack on top of a hack of a baroque architecture. You can find various estimates stating that this legacy eats roughly about 10% performance. By comparison ARM is quite efficient. Personally I'd like to see RISC-V becoming more prevalent, but...
Unless there is a breakthrough in basic research, we will reach a density wall in not so many years. The remaining ways to increase performance are increasing die area, clock and IPC, none of which can be upped indefinitely. A chiplet architecture is a clever way out, kudos to AMD for innovating...
I use it for that and for mounting waterblocks, but I'd use it for any heatsink as long as its not made of aluminum. Apart from excellent conductivity it never dries out.
We've used Tyan based Epyc servers at work since July, does that count? With U.2 NVMe disks they are quite beastly.
