Those VM's can make life easy for those who really need it. Your right about "hardware setup could be easier/faster to get running" it seems to me setups are easier in a VM than setting up on bare metal hardware.

This is basically the setup I want to upgrade to in a few years after the prices have dropped. I would like to see how much you could potentially consolidate your rack. Could you virtualize and run your entire homelab off this single server? You already have a pretty amazing setup so obviously you aren't going to be able to throw a petabyte of storage into that chassis but could you do everything else? How much storage can you reasonably get in it? Would homelabbers be better off buying multiple lower cored systems and basically clustering them or would they be better off spending a little more buying an older 32-64+ core processor with gobs of pcie and virtualizing everything? What software would you use and how would it compare performance wise to your current setup? Also what are the power savings, if any, or consolidating like this? Yes that single chip pulls 274W alone but if you could replace 3 servers that pull 100W each you are going to be ahead. It would also impact your need for networking as you could pull switches out of your rack entirely if you didn't need to connect as many devices.

AMD is just killing it. One of the things i was most excited about from AMD was Epyc 4004. Now dont get me wrong, extra validation is great.

I was also holding out hope for a re-designed die for the 8700G that gave it 32-48MB of L3 cache instead of 16MB, and then the full 24 lanes of PCIe, Cherry on top of this fantasy would be CXL support for what would equate to a 3rd channel of RAM over 8 lanes of PCIe, but outside of handhelds and small formfactor gaming focused systems, that would basically be useless. If they had released an epyc that was this theoretical ryzen 9 8950G, even without the CXL support, i'd probably pick one up for my file server which right now is a 3950x on an asrock rack X470 motherboard with a BMC because i dont have enough PCIe lanes for a video card.

you have 12 chan support with this chip but opt for 8 chan - still good to see this content as the potential and possibilities are immense - should be a workhorse for you for years. by going to 22 or 240v you shoud save 3-5% on power - not negligible. you need to do some true open source ai on this monster - pair it with a really big array and let it run to digest and learn all your data

Electrical companies in the US measure usage in kilowatt hours so running 120v @ 10 amps or 240v @ 5 amps makes no difference in your power bill with the wattage being exactly the same. Some applications may run more efficiently on 240v but it's not 3% and won't help cost in any noticable way (I found this out the hard way). It will allow you to keep the amp load down if your running low since most homes have 100amp services with larger homes having 200amp so it is still better than 120v for permanent installs.

Run LLMs on this thing! Both on the GPUs but also on the CPU as the 8-channel RAM should really help. Go with Llama 3.1 70B or a similarly sized model, no one would buy this thing to run an 8B lol.

Great video ! Will you ever try a Dual socket config with Epyc 9554?
@CraftComputingАй бұрын
I'm hoping to get a dual-socket board soon :-)

I'd like to see you try training your own AI models on those GPUs. I don't know what exactly you'd train but it'd be cool nonetheless.

I'm sure I'll be doing some AI things. Not sure what yet.

Damn that a beefy system. VDI at home? Lab? It will serve all residents in a Mil sq ft + mansion. I'm game to see more of vGPU sharing on Proxmox. But VMware and Horizon are dead to me. Video series idea - Proxmox HCI with Ceph deep dive. Help peeps get off VMware VSAN. I'm sure AMD will understand that Ceph requires minimum 3 node cluster and send 2 more 9554s right over. :)

Twelve instances of Crysis at a time? Also studio update?

Of course, the question is: can it run Doom?

I would love seeing wierd things like stereophotogrammetry and the like.
