Sure, you're right, I just made it up and my post was based on imaginary experience. /s IIRC, you work in the government sector what happens there doesn't necessary apply to the private sector and vice versa. I have read a number of stories that IT Admins and departments getting burnt by Meltdown/S...
You'd be shocked at how much Intel still has a rep in the server space, though. Even with AMD leaps and bounds ahead for damn near *EVERY* metric..."nobody got fired for buying Intel" is the new "nobody got fired for buying IBM" regardless of whether it's still true or not.
It's 16 from the CPU directly and an additional 24 off the chipset that share the DMI/QPI/whateverthehelltheycallitnow bandwidth between the chipset and the CPU.
Yeah - it's painful, but possible. I snagged my 6800 XT at MSRP after a lot of time investment because there's NO WAY I'm paying current market prices for any GPU.
Not that I can see in the fora, but is the main page dead? I've not seen any updated articles in a while, and according to a quick refresh everything front and center is 2+ months old. Did I miss something? Yes. TR got bought out and the new owners have essentially killed it off. The fact that the ...
Physical separation of networks is a good idea for the minimal cost added. Are you recording on demand via motion triggers or just recording 24/7? If recording 24/7, it might be worth looking into setting up an FTP server for the cameras to stream directly to, and then just indexing over them with B...
Why a standalone network adapter versus using the onboard NIC? Regarding workloads for the drives, unless you're storing many streams of *high* bitrate video, any will do. Even 24 hours a day recording at 4 Mbps for 3 cameras is only ~130 GB per day - not even 50 TB per year (if you're running highe...
How about replacing a Mac Pro with 1 TB of RAM with a SOC that has 128 GB of HBM
I think the size and spot price of HBM stacks will make that a pipedream. Plus you'd need at minimum (assuming the earlier bandwidth numbers are correct) 20 of the fat cores to drive it assuming perfect scaling.
We'll have to wait and see 3rd party benchmarks before determining whether AMD has actually leap frogged NVidia (their numbers say they have, but we must remember these are their numbers, so are almost certainly the best-case results rather than typical results). Still, even if they're just really ...
Another added benefit of Ryzen 5000 series - when paired with a 6000 series GPU, they have an option to allow for better communication between the CPU and GPU. Whether that's a big win or not is yet to be seen, but it appears to be promising.
