Mr VacBob posted:Not only would it be not as good as x264, it won't even be faster. My slower CPU gets the same speed (180fps) for small video sizes using the x264 "faster" preset. A CPU is a much better video encoder than any kind of GPU for all kinds of great reasons; the only reason to avoid one is power budgeting. I would guess that a specialized "media encoder" chip would be optimized to be a media encoder, rather than being a locked-down GPU.

Methylethylaldehyde posted:The thing with the optical transceivers is that if you're going to make them in batches of 100,000 for mass consumer level stuff, they get really stupidly cheap. The only really lovely part will be the fact that you need a fusion splicer to make cables. Sounds like a place where Monster can actually have a legitimate market rather than just selling to people who don't know better.

MachinTrucChose posted:New architecture with 10% power savings... quote:so adding 40W to the power consumption (or however much it draws at idle load) ... just wastes the consumer's money and rapes the environment further.  Anyway, what makes you think this will have a significantly higher idle power consumption than the alternatives for that market segment?

Space Gopher posted:When you look at overall system performance, though, the downsides (increased noise, heat, power consumption, and cooler cost) Following this logic to the extreme would suggest that everyone should underclock their processors so as to get reduced noise, heat and power consumption. The downsides of running at stock speeds as opposed to underclocking outweigh the advantages the extra clocks give you

Space Gopher posted:Or you could just buy the CPU you need for decent performance in whatever it is you do, and let it underclock itself at idle like any modern x86 CPU. Sorry about your [H] cred, but sometimes it's not necessary to "tweak" or "tune" your system. Or you can buy a CPU that's lower than what you need, overclock it so that it does what you need it to, and let it clock itself back down at idle like any modern x86 CPU. Same performance, lower cost.
