Intel Flex sounds very interesting, hopefully Wendell can get a hold of some to play around with soon. The info at 5:38 would make me and probably many others buy intel arc if we can get a guide on how to access these "off label uses."
Now if only they'd release an inexpensive version to just use in your plex server or video editing rig. Maybe just a dedicated encoding card.
A310/A380 are ~$100 and support AV1
Yeah, but most that are LP/HH are also 2 slot wide even though the pcie key remains 1 slot. These look like 1 slot thin, server use specifically, possibly with the same or lower power draw, hopefully in the 30W neighbourhood. Plus, they come with virtualisation/partitioning functions enabled from the get-go. And they sport 16 Xe blocks, where a310 gets 6. They're closer to 2 a380s in one smaller denser package...
@@marcin_karwinskiis the two slot part a huge problem for HTPC use?
@albinoalpaca1059 depends on the case you use, pcie slot placement, other pcie cards in use, etc... if you want some of those ultra tiny mITX boxes with space for a single slot HH card only, that won't do. Earlier, you could always use something like nvidia P400/P600/P620/P1000 from Pascal family, T400/T600/T1000 from Turing to get either less powerful and less power-hungry units down the product stack or more powerful ones the higher you go. Today, nvidia's product stack in AiCs get down to A2000 at the bottom, the dual slot 75W+. There's also A600M or similar, but that's only in a laptop space, not for desktops (unless you count in that one tiny box with this card and TB3 connection to the PC). Intel could've easily got ahead of the pack if they could trim their product down to single slot, especially since Intel encoder/decoder acceleration is available more often than not in today's apps, but in some cases nvenc/amf may be paywalled... and other solutions like Alveo's product stack is priced higher than sane users would pay unless you go all in on building own streaming infra... that's where Intel could get huge sales boost even if these were not picked by DCs.
I want to run windows in a vm for gaming. That way I can just use windows for games and Linux for everything else. I’d buy in if intel makes it easy.
"You are literally and figuratively doing it wrong!" ... "K" 😂 He wanted to but I don't blame him for not touching that one 🤣
Using VDI in general is "doing it wrong"
I have an rtx a5000 at home that would theoretically support VDI virtual GPU, but with all the licensing etc stuff it's more easy to just add another GPU for my windows VM.
Did you get your hands on GPU Max 1100 (PCIe) as well?
During IDC beta I had access to a 4x cluster for a bit. And it did manage to run the workloads I wanted (language model inference). However they don't sell them to consumers (likely because it doesn't support low power idle states or something). And Gaudi2 which is better by a lot - is only in OAM format. And can you convince Supermicro to make you a board with one of them on it?
As the RTX 6000 Ada is now more than 11k the only proper option for 48GB VRAM is dual 3090Ti which needs space and power that I have to plan for in my workstation.
Flex 140 is two A380s, so you get a lot of media streams. Flex 170 is a single A770 so it might be less useful for some applications. However those costs like 1100 and 1400$, respectively.
Nvidia make your VGPU crap free!!! Please. I hate using old drivers on my Tesla T4 with a trial bypass.
This would make a fantastic (albeit overkill af) plex/emby/transcoding node card!
Unless you’re a streamer and adding this card means you don’t need a second computer anymore.
I'm hopeful for Intel's success, more options is always better not just for the consumer but also for keeping the competition motivated. This is part of why I'm not a brand purist, especially with computer hardware. I'm currently on a AMD CPU/GPU system while holding a small amount of Intel stock through their hard times but I owned a few systems through the Ivybridge/Haswell era and helped build friends Intel systems
Which I could get my hands on a FLEX. Such a greate GPU for VDI.
This is a weird flex from Intel, but okay
The remote GPU modules are very interesting, I have a few ideas I wanna try out on a prosumer level. Can't wait till they're a bit more mainstream.
If this is what they have now, I'm so excited for the next consumer Intel GPUs. If we'll even see them anytime soon...
License free vGPU for masses?
Sign me up... Also hoping free ESXi will support that at some point...
This technology is a consumer requirement for home pc! Intel Arc GPU need to get there firmware updated immediately to enable the SRIOV registers so CONSUMER ARC cards can do this! enterprise have no need for htis HOME USERS HOWERVER DO! servers have plenty of PCIe slots home PCS do not! ar idiots like nvidia use using up not only 2 slots, or event 3 slots now 4 slots ffs! and daft m/b manfuraturers have the only other usable PCIe slots under these monsters!
Everything I saw has one use case. Cloud based gaming and unhackable consoles. (for the average user at home)
Curious on cost... Those look pcie only...could those replace my p4??? I assume they have av1
Make this card affordable for the home user,,i would put an Intel card in every server
All of this is way above my head but would love to know more about the flex GPUs and more
Is there any notion that these would be supported on XCP-ng/Xen Server?
I guess one have to sacrify a leg and a kidney to get thos cards 😴
So. . . . . .we need a homelab SKU of the Intel Flex!
It's funny that MiTAC was founded by a former Intel engineer. Now MiTAC bought Intel's internal server manufacturing division!
The Intel GPUs, do they work with acceleration in Plex?
your plextor dvd drive does not need gpu acceleration
WOW, Mitac has come a long way from when I was doing IT with some of their gear at Uni 25years ago (the Compaq stuff was far superior). Their servers are looking good! Also Intel GPU and no per user licensing, nice!
If Citrix Hypervisor support is added, that would be great. I'm sure a lot of that implementation comes down to Citrix actually working on it but still, cool.
It'd be cool to see it in a standardized form with virtio-gpu. :+ )
Jesus Wendell, you lost a lot of weight, you look awesome
my work vdi sucks ass. maybe there is hope?
#BitcoinMiningasaService
This looks amazing, I'm super serial.
13:09 ey I have two of those tyan servers at work!!! :D
When are these coming out?? Lol
Are there anyone selling these yet?
They are on the supermicro store
hmm boy those things look a lot like P4s
Buy when?
Why Ubuntu? Why not going Debian w/Proxmox etc?
Not every peg fits in every hole.
Ubuntu is the cheapest server distro with support so it's Ok I guess. I hope they do support Proxmox officially too eventually,
@@POVwithRC there is a "your mom" joke somewhere but I'm not making it
Debian (Ok, technically MX Linux) master race reporting in.
Largest userbase
Omfg what a comparisons
Look how grade this seasonic power supply is !
Look the pc on the recht is the one with premium powersupply from seasonic .
Look how grade it works and the left pc doesn't want to start .
Its so incedeble this product is
These jobs where you sit all day, stressing, dealing with all kinds of issues. I see why corp wants all 20s and 30s now. By 40 these people bodies have been destroyed.
what are you serious? what you describe is the process of aging and life in general.
“these jobs where you sit all day, stressing” are is probably one of the simplest ways of earning relatively good income compared to exerted output and inconvenience. idk if that last thing i wrote makes sense but hey it makes sense to me right?
Talk to some tradies, they're active all day and also have destroyed bodies by their 40s.
I choose working in a chair and exercising as my body allows to be the better choice. Have just turned 40 and showing my kids how martial arts is done.
@@dertythegrowerskimmed milk is the secret
I am imagining Intel and something like the Liqid Composable Infrastructure, hardware (and accelerators) as a service
Price, Vapourware?, fanless/rack needed? Still wondering where the Intel A60s are? Would not be against dropping something like three of these in my threadripper proxmox box.
Considering it's server targeted, I'd imagine a hard vendor/distributor lock, at least at first.
I too was digging around for the A60 and it seems to be the case so far.
Hang on, I thought the A770 cannot do SR-IOV..!?
Is there a page somewhere how they did it?
It's the same hardware so I could imagine it simply not being available driver/software side (yet) considering they've been ripping their hair out just getting it to function thus far.
Intel gpu sucks. Worse than amd and nvidia
Judging how well they do in the graphics department, they better hold off the flexing until they have something good to show off. I am sure they can add the per client subscription later, when and if they actually make something clients want... They'd be outright ridiculous if they had such plans before entrapping users with an actual product. That demo is some low hanging fruit... Demoing hardware accelerated vs software graphics... reeks of the 90s...
I love L1T but some videos come out as highly shilly. I know Wendell is very enthusiastic about computer hardware and what I'm seeing is his enthusiasm just exploding in the face of progress. Regardless, I just cant help get turned off by it when everything has become an ad in 2023.
Gotta pump your AMD/Chinese stocks huh?
@@GlassPup don't have any stocks bud
