It is not "15W" more like 20-24W range. What is more it does that power with just 4 performance cores that cannot even do HT/SMT. The thing...

[piotrj3]

Not true because in OpenCL you lack indirect dispatch also vulkan by itself has much smaller overhead. If you have a lot of interactions CPU<->GPU...

[piotrj3]

It is good question. Yes it is true that normal CPUs theoreticly do have 2x64bits, but with many channels performance is actually clearly always worse...

[piotrj3]

A lot of people are surerly suprised about results but one thing people are not aware about it is....
128-bit memory bus.

Literally...

[piotrj3]

From one side good changes are comming for better.

Still not supporting ASTC in 2020 is .... a bit dissappointment, especially considering...

[piotrj3]

Also to add, OpenCL has very mess support outside of OpenCL1.2 that is very outdated, also CUDA at least on nvidia hardware wins performance wise and...

[piotrj3]

To add what ernstp said on Vulkan/DX12 there is even less room for that since Vulkan/DX12 kernels give much less options for drivers to manipulate so...

[piotrj3]

Problem here would be that Nvidia dictates every single inch of future of CUDA. That being said, there is no good mature alternative, except maybe Vulkan...

[piotrj3]

-> Vulkan beta driver is released that is meant to help devs with early adoption of newest Vulkan spec.

-> people talk about XWayland/GBM/offloading...

[piotrj3]

I am not particulary expierienced on this subject, but multigpu in case of DX11 or older and OpenGL was simply resolved by driver. In case of Vulkan and...

[piotrj3]

Dirt 5 is a joke tho, literally racing game thar doesnt' have wheel support, has arcade racing style in dirt (that is not acceptable) has mixed rating...

[piotrj3]

Not bad at all, although most benchmarks on internet shows that at 4K AMD simply falls behind to Nvidia, while having really good results at 1440p and...

[piotrj3]

That is what forums are for, rambling, discussions, assumptions maybe predictions. Saying you are wrong without 1 argument, or link or anything makes...

[piotrj3]

Point is for normal users, you honestly don't care about AV1 much. Honestly from perspective of me, average streamer or any normal home user, X265 is...

[piotrj3]

Android do seem to go forward in vulkan direction, but here is a thing VulkanVideo i just said for sake of it being standard managed in same way Vulkan...

[piotrj3]

oh i know that xkcd comic very well, and sure va-api seems the most succesful. Problem is that va-api etc. are really linux only (and a bit android but...

[piotrj3]

OpenMAX sure but it is outdated and haven't seen much work I am actually suprised AMD went for OpenMAX here.

OpenAL is more some even older...

[piotrj3]

Well Vulkan for compute/graphics starts to become something of this sort, but true i wish hardware encoding/decoding video on GPU could be managed by...

[piotrj3]

That is absolutly normal because AV1 is really complex codec that is NOT meant to be encoded by normal users. AV1 is meant to be more for cases of sort...

[piotrj3]

I am worried about AIB prices. Asus in Poland set price of 6800XT above MSRP 6900XT. That being said 6800XT looks promising from leaks.
