I think they basically ran out of simulations because so many people signed up no?

Their compiler also produced very inefficient code for AMD chips. Not because they didn't implement the optimizations, but because they detected at runtime your CPU model and used the suboptimal code paths.

They do work on very thin margins for that though so they don’t earn massively from consoles, still worthwhile

Ah… so i guess that makes it sound a little more regular now

It's a cluster. I forget if they've published the official number yet but I want to say it was something like 256 racks of servers. I turned down a job there last year.

not at all, with their acquisition of Mellanox and smart NICs (Bluefield 2 and beyond) they are accelerating things right on the edge of the interconnect. Will vastly improve performance once scalability and software have been figured out at super computer size.

..Intel has been making GPUs for a few decades. Just not discrete GPUs

Yeah I messed up! I was think W as I do the calculation a lot with my computers at home so I always divide by 1000 to get kWh. Like you said this is 30000kWh! Oof yeah that’s a big bill.

Oooo yeah I did a major mistake in calculation. I’m so used to calculating W with home computers and dividing by 1000 to get my KWH…this is 30000KwH! Ooooof! Yeah that’s a huge bill. Makes a lot more sense now lol

Also intel did not have the patenofor gpus, which expired in 2020 I believe.

A lot harder to convince Sony or Microsoft to leave the established AMD platform for a new and untested at scale platform. Especially when consoles are thin margin items, any hardware issue is going to cut deep.

I maintain a 20k node cluster of computers that pretends to be a single computer. The reason to do it that way is if we 10x our size we can 10x the hardware and individual machines dying are replaced.

Data centers are generally located specifically where they can get cheap power.

AMD is still a thing ?

I was selling sun servers back then and customers never considered power consumption.

If you knew that these corporations are not actually a competitor but more of a teammates in market rigging, the statement about 'good guys' becomes much more funnier.

But can they run doom?

Well, you can always cry I guess

I believe it all comes down to cost. I've seen some calculations on reddit that were like 30k USD for the compute needed on Amazon ( absolutely no idea what the task was, something with GPUs). So that's obviously not possible for many people. What's the price for a supercomputer compared to that? I imagine it may be free for students? In my university you can gain access to serious hardware ( I'm talking powerful servers, not comparable to a supercomputer) by just asking around. What is it like in bigger universities?

Hey, I’ll dig myself into debt however I want. American dream.

Devs was an imperfect show, but good enough to be measured against one.

It deserved a bigger audience & should get a watch.
