Combat Pretzel posted:If you need to hit a certain file size, there's no way around two passes. I don't need either of those. And I'm pretty sure encoding to a constant quality and limiting the max bitrate means you don't need 2-pass for device-compatible encoding, too.

freeforumuser posted:Let's face it, the only real apps left that are still primarily CPU limited are rendering and video encoding. Interestingly, both apps lend themselves well to massively parallel processing on GPUs, same for gaming physics. And now, we see Intel and AMD are pushing with CPUs with integrated GPUs. Coincidence? Me thinks no and let me proclaim the multicore era is already over and welcome our new GPU-dominant processor overlords. Video encoding, if you're looking for good quality, cannot have very many threads. Frames reference each other in H.264. If you're encoding hundreds of frames at once, they obviously can't effectively do that; you'll have to use another method of threading, like slicing frames into slices and encoding each frame with multiple threads. Sliced threading is inherently lower quality. On the whole, CPUs are better for video encoding. There are certain things that GPUs can do better than CPUs in video encoding. There's been some study into stuff that they can do, such as motion estimation (see the qual. task too). Note that it is listed as very difficult and needing a large amount of work. There's also probably been lots of papers, but papers are just theory, and are very often not practical. Thanks a lot for making me sperg

Is it worth upgrading off an i7-2600k yet? I'm occasionally CPU-limited in Planetside 2 and do some video encoding, but I haven't been able to tell what the performance improvements are for that of the current gen vs mine.

Would the rumored i7-6850k (6 cores @ 3.6GHz) work well in gaming vs an i7-2600k @ 4.0GHz? I do some video encoding where the older CPU hurts me but I don't want to upgrade my CPU/mobo/RAM only to lose a bunch of frames in games. vvv: thanks, I think I'll plan an upgrade to Broadwell-E then Malloc Voidstar fucked around with this message at 10:26 on Nov 17, 2015 |

It doesn't affect consoles, most people on PC are at 60FPS, and it's not a directly linear increase. So 30->60 is almost unchanged physics speed, majority of players have no issue. It probably requires a major engine rewrite to fix.

Paul MaudDib posted:I was hoping for 5% but I guess I'll take 3%. If Intel can get it to OC close to 5 GHz (17% improvement over Broadwell-E's 4.3 GHz) then that would put it ~19% ahead of BW-E in total, which puts it 24-29% ahead of Ryzen in single-thread performance. Which is really close to the magic "6-core Intel matches 8-core AMD" target that would mean price-to-performance parity between the two. e: Also I don't know why they even bother with TechArp's x264 benchmark when they're already testing using HandBrake (where Ryzen wins) Malloc Voidstar fucked around with this message at 19:04 on Jun 6, 2017 |

Khorne posted:Why are people so hyped about ryzen/threadripper? It seems competitive on paper, but if you look at benchmarks it has 7%-10% worse single core performance than a 6 year old intel architecture. Which is mostly what matters on the desktop. It's nowhere near competitive with the Kaby Lake X processor. source your press releases edit: your addition about "competitive price" is the point, AMD's CPUs here are slightly worse on performance but price also matters and they are absolutely competitive/winning on performance for the price

https://www.anandtech.com/show/12355/supermicro-at-ces-2018-x299-motherboards-for-upcoming-300w-cpusquote:Staying on the CPU for a second: the reason it is called the ‘PG300’ is because this motherboard is geared up to accept CPUs with up to 300W TDP. This comes across as somewhat odd – the X299 platform only has CPUs up to 165W listed. Even with turbo modes applied and all cores going, somewhere around 240-250W is ‘normal’, which would mean that the system is being geared for something bigger.
