Splitting the investment over two or more budget periods makes it WAY easier to buy something you want or need. It's still bullshit that costs the company more in the long run, but that's how most companies work sadly.

[@LucasRodmo]

To be fair, this practice of modularization of hardware features through on demand or as a service it's becoming the industry trend. Dell did it with their data protection solutions, like IDPA and Data Domain, Dell APEX and PowerStore. IBM does it with Z framework. HPE does it through HPEFS feature as-a-service solution. Equinix does it in general. Unfortunately it's a trend. At least with Dell, they actually sell the hardware for the price of what would cost without the feature, like storage, (in this case, they sell bellow the cost of production), and then they make up for it as the customer licenses the features.

[@mrmosk2011]

Intel used to do the same in the hardware, essentially the same chip hardwired to disable some functions. If you think about it, once a chip is designed, producing more of them cost much less than making a simpler new design. This is also why Apple put M1 and M2 chips into laptops and tablets. I am sure they could disable features on the iPad to save power. But to design a different chip just for iPad is much more expensive. Because Apple uses its own chip, they don't have to play the marketing naming game of different versions of M1/2 chips. Just use the same chips. Also this is the reason why they put an A13 chip into the Apple monitor, same reason, the chip is cheap enough.

[@amateurwizard]

Step 1: Put thermal paste in the socket. Step Too: Add more torque because that's the problem, clearly.

[@ObliteAbyss]

To be fair with CPUs that size if you don't torque them properly they can just completely not boot - there's a reason AMD Threadripper and Epyc have their own torque drivers and instructions on what to torque down first.

[@thebludragon8353]

Many an overclocker has packed a socket with grease and had it be absolutely fine. Large chips absolutely do have connection issues if not torqued properly. My delid 10920x wouldn’t post a mem channel because one size was a fraction too loose.

[@Coockiez-007]

whats a accelerator card?

[@pokeguy742]

@@Coockiez-007 an AI accelerator card is exactly what it sounds like: a pcie-based solution to add dedicated AI accelerator hardware to a system. If you're an organization using ai learning on the reg, you're gonna be using several of those and not bothering with Sapphire Rapids, especially since an AI accelerator card will outperform Sapphire Rapids for that use case while consuming less power.

[@Outwardpd]

@@Coockiez-007 An accelerator card is a card that specializes in hosting devices called accelerators. These are hyper specialized devices that operate at a hardware level (and are therefore mostly immutable in application). Think of it in terms of if you separated an ALU out into its various functions such as processing only multiplication of 2 integers, you'd get a lot more efficiency out of it due to needing less loads, inputs, gate logic, etc. But it would be useless for anything else. So when a company needs to perform extremely high intensity and highly specialized tasks, such as machine learning, they would load a computer with accelerator cards where the highly specific workloads would get offloaded as much as possible. 'As much as possible' is a key word there, the CPU will still process whatever it can. So there could be a balance struck here for massive servers dedicated to AI, if the AI dedicated CPU is capable of saturating all the accelerator cards while also having large improvements in its own processing then this is a performance increase for these servers. And processing power is one of the main concerns in future AI endeavors. It also shows a movement towards hyper specialized CPUs that we can expect more improvement from over the years. An accelerator card is only superior in scenarios in which there is reason to use it, a CPU processing things directly is always much faster than it offloading it to a card to do so. So there is definitely argument to be made about it being a 'first generation iteration' of what could become a major player in the future as well, unlikely to actually replace accelerator cards anytime soon but could offer a lower-budget option for smaller workloads in the future.

[@chloefletcher9612]

I used to own a cloud computing company - we were not massive but we had racks filled with Intel Xeon CPU. I was often asked why we didn't consider AMD and the reason is one I never hear you mention: you have to cripple CPU features to allow hot transfer of workload between AMD and Intel. So in an environment where we were counting cores in the thousands or higher, introducing new CPU that are not "compatible" with the fleet would be an insane choice. You'd have to prevent live migration of workload between heads or alternatively, modify hypervisors to limit features to guest workloads. Because of this, we were effectively "married" to Intel. Moving some devices to AMD would have required too much development time to modify control systems, limited interoperability or have meant that we would have had to make very large purchases on AMD to essentially split into two, distinct farms, and that would have been quite a bet to have taken.

[@tatsuyahiiragi416]

Couldn't you have created 'trial servers' to test it out with beta testers to streamline the switch? It would work since the Beta testers are willing to risk data loss, and even then they probably have a backup drive somewhere... And then you work with them to finish the optimizations required. That way, at launch, the new servers would be ready and optimized, as well as take a streamlined approach to the switch to the rest of the clients. Heck the Beta testers could accept a steep discount to the first year or so of the new servers. Note- I'm just making a suggestion. If there are issues with this I would totally understand

@@tatsuyahiiragi416 You don't work in the financial side of a data center do you? Do you have any idea on a mass scale how much that would cost in personnel and R&D?

Sometimes we tech nerds forget that these are businesses using the tech, that means it needs to turn profit. If it doesn't or the return does not match the input, you do not do it PUNCT

[@przemysawukawski4741]

@@Bultizar I have one question - does making a consolidation of servers up to 6:1 is a small advantage? Because yes - one EPYC server can in many cases replace up to 6 old Xeon ones. When you have huge datacenter with millions of cores then being able to shrink the space and manageability so drastically doesn't seem to me as a small advantage... I have talked recently with engineers from MS Azure cloud and this is exactly what they are doing constantly thanks to these EPYC servers - they constantly consolidate their stuff now.

[@andreas7944]

We have another reason to avoid AMD: They do not work as expected. It takes a year before the boards and drivers are really working as intended. It usually comes down on AMD releasing the CPUs earlier than they should, because "they can fix it via driver update". Intel spend way more time in QA and has better support for board partners. You usually can order them and assume they work like described. Also Intel CPUs have more features that became relevant for our customers. We do have a AMD farm, too. Just for offering low cost KVMs for tasks like Webhostig. But even there we noticed that customers ask more often for accelerators for Network and AI. And Intel CPUs brings both with it.

[@VideogamesAsArt]

@@andreas7944 that's not really what enterprises using EPYC say. You might think that's the case for desktop motherboards and consumer GPUs. But in server processors? Companies that already switched to AMD say how much easier their tasks is now. The switch is hard. After switching, not anymore. AMD knows servers are paramount, that's why they have all their software support on point there.

You have a point. It is likely that intel and or AMD could hit a major breakthrough in the next few years in which one of them will double what their top of the line chip is now along with improve a vast list of things. I also think we are approching the end of gaming graphics cards. We are about half way there right now. That one computer they did not long ago where they rendered that NASA 14gig per second or frame landing model is really where gaming cards will stop becoming a thing. Once you can say have a 48 inch curved computer screen that can display 32k it will almost be not worth it to upgrade to anything beyond that. Once gaming can render 3d models that look like the highest production movies gaming will then become AI based and you will be able to just build a game on site and call for anyone who wants to play. Its likely that gaming will be groups of friends who play games and then add in new players who scan the boards looking for something that fits their needs or makes their own with in a set friend group. I have a feeling that gaming rigs are slowly fading away as more and more people move to console games which are and can be just as in dept as the PC games.

Each embedded cpu can be 4 to 12 cores and think 10 chips per side of a dual layer cpu card would give you at 420 cores and an unknown logical cores. We know CPU chips can be smaller yet because they require some type of cooling embedded cpu boards are better suited. Because who in their right mind is going to open up 1000 servers and upgrade the cpu? Other than someone small. Along with the GPU and CPU board sets you can also do memory the same way. You can either make a controller board and then add in your gpu, cpu, ram, ssd and chipset all cooled via an exchange and using some form of a pcie slot and your chip set also has your IO which can be a pretty large board in its self. Think more along the lines of hot swapped storage or PS. Turn the computer around push in the PS, IO/Chipset, CPU, GPU, Storage. Then on the inside you can either make a auto connect cooling loop and power along with a auto connect IO front panel. The chipset board will contain things like the powerbutton in the event you are using a server. The rgb and keyboard mouse will be a fixed thing for server models.

For the AI benchmark that you performed, there is an important disclosure to make: OpenVino is developed by intel, so it is only logical to be optimized for their hardware (so the AMD results may not be that bad in AI after all, if the customer is using another Artificial Neural Networks inference engine such as ONNX runtime).

[@ABaumstumpf]

intel has for a very long time provided some of the best open-source tools in all fields. In general more often than not using alternatives just means far worse performance. And also no, their code is optimised for general purpose X64 CPUs as it also has to run from their lowest single-thread Atoms to the 288thread lineups.

[@woobilicious.]

@@ABaumstumpf You're wrong, there's no such thing as a "general purpose x64 CPU", if you want your code to run fast, AMD and Intel don't have the same feature set, AMD didn't support AVX-512 till Zen 4, virtualization features are implemented differently, and , Intel C++ compiler is both closed source, in some situations faster than open source alternatives like GCC or llvm, and it deliberately generates a binary that *only* enables fast code if it detects an Intel Branded CPU, even if AMD supports that feature. Intels response on the github bugtracker to AMD bugs is: > Thank you for reporting, OpenVINO is officially supported on Intel Processors. Please take a look at the system requirements for additional information. so yes, OpenVINO is crap for a comparison.

[@ABaumstumpf]

@@woobilicious. "You're wrong, there's no such thing as a "general purpose x64 CPU", " NO there absolutely is. that the CPUs are not identical is the reason why you then compile the source for your specific hardware to take full advantage of that, but the code as written does not rely on any of that.

That method of cpu installation has been around since first gen xeon scalable. You're also supposed to leave the cpu in the tray and put the heatsync on, then remove the assembly from the tray and install it on the socket. That method keeps you from getting any oils on the contact space since these cpus are very sensitive to pressure and contamination. Granted, I haven't worked on this newest generation but have plenty of experience with most of the previous revisions and have had to troubleshoot multiple installations where people didn't install these cpus correctly

Production quality is top notch, but i guess that there is not a better way for linus to move/speed up/slow down or whatever he is doing with the teleprompter instead of using a remote in his pocket and having to put his hand there every now and again.

He has all ready mentioned multiple times they used remotes for the teleprompters. I believe he even complained that they aren't the best for it but couldn't find better ones. I vaguely remember him saying these remotes were also difficult to get. but I am probably wrong about the last one. Despite Linus's production, his company is mostly focused on KZbin content, To me, having a TV quality production is very jarring on youtube and it just removes a lot of the personality. This content is great in quality while retaining the scruffiness. He is not afraid to show a bit of behind the scenes, show a bit of jank because ultimately, that doesn't matter. It's part of the content and I think its fair to say most of us loves to see it. He has given multiple behind the scene tours of his studio space, before it was build, while it was being build and after it was complete. Even now with the lab he is doing the same. It doesn't have to be perfect and being perfect might actually be worse. Honestly I wouldn't mind a seeing a video on how there teleprompter stuff works. It'd be great. Could even be a floatplane exclusive and i'd watch it.

[@klikkolee]

when you described AMX, I was hoping they would also be useful for non-ai simulation and animation type work. That involves a lot of matrix math too. But AMX currently only has one matrix math operation, while those non-ai workloads use a diversity of operations. Using current AMX outside of AI would involve lots of shuffling data in and out of the AMX registers, which would severely limit how much those workloads would be improved by the extensions.

[@sophiophile]

I think it's just a matter of building out support, rather than a physical limitation, unless AMX is pretty useless even for ML. The kind of AI/ML matrix operations that need accelerated depending on what kind of algorithm you are using vary incredibly, and have a lot of overlap with animation+simulation.

[@klikkolee]

@@sophiophile I'm not sure what you are saying. I am saying that viewed through the lens of what AMX stands for or through the lens of the applications that the name reminded me of, AMX is horrifically incomplete. I have no knowledge or opinions on the challenges or lack thereof regarding making AMX more fully-featured, and I have no knowledge or opinions on whether the current state of AMX is actually helpful for machine learning.

[@cobdole9409]

AMX matrix multiplication is awesome for many ML workloads. Matrix multiplication is also useful for a ton of physical simulations, but I'm not sure how that translates to animations or real time simulations like games. Not sure what Jeffrey Leung is talking about.

[@klikkolee]

@@cobdole9409 The main thing I had in mind when writing that was that matrix-vector multiplication is a major part of sims and animation. A matrix and a vector are conceptually different to me, so I didn't consider that a vector can be represented as a 1-column matrix, allowing AMX to do matrix-vector multiplication just fine. That substantially increases how much I can expect AMX to benefit those use cases.

[@sophiophile]

@@cobdole9409 The OP claimed that it only supports 'one' matrix math operation. I didn't look into the details of AMX, but if it can only perform, for example matrix addition in single steps and not calculate matrix dot/cross products (and by extension tensor products) directly like a GPU, thereby having to perform n^(w+v) operations for a single matrix/tensor product- it is only going to accelerate most ML/AI operations like 5 times compared to a regular CPU in most cases. When the standard for accelerated ML/AI operations is CUDA where you are looking at a *minimum of hundreds of times* faster than typical CPU operation speeds, I just don't see how this is supposed to be seen as a selling point.

Results came on this video it: - Sadly It was mostly beaten and punched on the gut by AMD in most tests. - Given the results Intel prices are already a somewhat bad financial choice. - New mechanics introduced are accelerators focused on AI. Interesting concept given the recent times but no guarantee of when you can start getting value of it yet. - Some AI accelerators on some products are a "feature" for the Intel on demand deal. - Continues to expect good competition to drive the market.

I use Proxmox with a mix of AMD Epyc and Intel Xeon servers in the same cluster.
