Are you 40 and living at home...? Because I am a Mom and my 19 year old son looks to me to build his custom gaming pc's... when I watch tech videos all I wonder is "can I keep my next build out of my son's reach? ...or do I build two?"
AMD isn't squeezing every dollar out of these machines because their mindset is (probably) "Go forth and see what you can make happen with this excellent product. You'll come back for more of them". They're playing the long game, and setting the expectation of repeat business because of a great product.
Their CEO is a science person, the thing that you said may also be secondary to her purpose lol, maybe she just wants to build these things because it's exciting, science!!!
The fact 16 core CPUs like 5950X can be considered "lower end" shows how insanely powerful machines are today. My 16 core setup already seems like bottomless supply of power. Been a PC owner since 1991 and this is the only time I have struggled to find ways to use all the power of the machine I own.
You'd probably need a couple, but yeah, that kind of thing is a great use case, I've thought about it for a while, having one of these beasts running, I don't know, 8 or more i3-eske computers as VM in a customer service office or something like that would be great value, not sure about the software licensing though.
This video reminds me of one university project where we clustered a whole labs' computers together. All Core i5 2500s with 4GB of memory each but we had like 80 of them running together. Of course this thing would probably thrash that because with gigabit LAN the IO wasn't great but it was still amazing to run one command and have 320 threads and 320GB of memory to run scientific applications. Enjoyed running tachyon ray tracing with OpenMPI just because it's somewhat visual.
I've been getting ready to build a workstation (software development C++) and been agonizing over what to go with but I think you convinced me Threadripper Pro
But he was running more than the company sim. An AI running as many sims as it can at once to run projections maybe?

64 core CPU and 512GB of ram just to demo a game. Would love to see him use it to do a processor intensive job like up-scaling a video that would take days on a 8 core CPU desktop or something.
I feel like I would have to study hardware and software pretty extensively for a year, minimum, just to be able to take this guy on as a mentor and not completely waste his time. I think I'll stick with avionics.
From this video, I decided to build a sworkstation with Threadripper Pro 3995x and MSI Suprim 3080TI and 256GB ram perfect for vms, gaming and design. I would have to say it’s awesome. For all the talk of the Mac Studio etc… there absolutely nothing that can tear me away from this.
From my understanding, the real limitation there is KSP or the Unity engine itself. People with high end machines still get lag issues with high part counts.
I have a similar setup to this (64 core, 256 GB RAM, 2x RTX 6000s) and I use it for heavy duty CFD/FEA simulations and it chews through them like butter. Before I had to wait around for a bit to get results to test different designs, now it's more of the opposite. I can't make designs/think of stuff to test fast enough for this beast to not destroy in minutes (when usually the same simulation would take hours).
Built a 64 originally for machine learning, upon the second build, I downgraded. It was such overkill for processing, it wad able to preprocess massive swathes of data while training at the same time without even stressing the cpu enough.
I hope I get to show my grandkids this comment in 50 years. Your grandpa was rocking an ASUS ROG Strix GeForce RTX 2060 before the graphics card shortage of the 2020s and felt like a King for a brief moment in time. Here's to a brighter tomorrow, grandpa loves you.
Not now Wendel, I have to drag myself out of bed in 6 hours to go to work and cook for a mass of ingrates. Luck has it I have ethics and resist the urge for 'floor Spice'. Don't mind me, I failed to upgrade from AMD Bulldozer 990FX / FX8150 multiple times always looking for the next Sandy Bridge.
Av1an can help there or you could just use the SVT (SVT-VP9, SVT-HEVC & SVT-AV1) encoders, they are from Intel but run really really well on AMD (you probably want one instance per NUMA node though (and pin them to the node))
I needed to see this. I can go ahead and scrap all my plans to upgrade my computer. It works, and given a few years something like this will be the norm. Nice, and thank you for restoring my priorities.
This is awesome!!! The higher core count definitely helps when using all those pci-e lanes. I think linus had a problem with epyc when he was using a lower core count for a storage array, and the cores were overwhelmed by all the i/o bandwith.
I have a scaled down setup and use case to what you have. The non-pro 3990x, using vfio for games when not working. Half the ram you have, storage at about 10tb after raid. It's pretty sweet setup, bought it for a few use cases, mainly for POC in software development with big data. Done quite a lot of work with it so far, have a few other dev projects I want to do with it as well. I noticed that vfio runs better without SMT, even if you assign many less cores than what you have physical, so I kind of toggle that a lot depending how lazy I am being with work vs. play. I intended to use Gentoo as a host cause of the high core count, but even then I got impatient after a while and switched.
FINALLY... Someone actually using enough memory! Drives me absolutely bonkers seeing some of the vids of folks getting a 64 core/128 thread processor, then "testing" it with only 64 or even 32 gigs of memory! Infuriates me to no end!
Well 12 years ago, I had a single user real-time control environment that did require this level of computational power within a virtualized environment supporting 7 independent high bandwidth networks. So, this is just starting to catch up with my enterprise-level user workstation needs.
That would be some crazy coop play for my home LAN. I could do away with all of the separate computer systems. I've been thinking about doing it for a while. This is beautiful to see.
Ok this is the first.... to my knowledge (which should indicate the rarity of my perform such an action)....time Ive posted on a Tech video. And it is just to say, this rates in my opinion one of the most exciting and coolest videos Ive seen about Tech! Ever! P.S I want your set up.
What impressed me was whoever designed that CPU visualization in the Task Manager had thought of accommodating visualizing 64 cores and more ... who knows if there's a limit...? Cool video btw :)
That LG TV used as a monitor... I was super close to doing that too. I opted for an 38" ultrawide instead because it's more useful to me right now but I can totally see that being an awesome thing for a workstation (I ended up replacing my old TV with it).
Ah yes, maniacal geek laughter when something ridiculous becomes reality. Gotta say I miss that feeling doing what I do now which involves a lot less tinkering, breaking and fixing.
I find it kinda amazing that this all is just for a hobby and for "feeling good about it" and not doing anything useful with it at all. Pretty amazing.
It's an incredible CPU that basically blows anything Xeon out of the water. I suspect AMD had to figure out how to not have it compete with it's own Epyc line. Still, this is not something very many are going to want in a home use system even if the cost was no object. For server/workstation use, a system based on one of these CPU's would be an insane bargain for the performance they offer. I will admit to wondering how Cities Skylines would do on that since it seems to be able to eat as many cores and gigabytes as you can through at it. I assume you meant terrabytes rather than gigabytes when talking about your hd storage.
Wait. Your a smart guy with the system in your hands and if the stuff your throwing at it only makes it go "meh" what will we do with it? Your the tech support guy FOR the tech support. Awesome video by the way.
As far as the graphics card goes, that's why I love the RX 6900 XT reference card + EK waterblock (and RX 6800 XT by extension). It turns it into a single slot card!
