1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:05,359
this is it Intel arc pro

2
00:00:03,520 --> 00:00:09,920
these cards are the first of their kind the a40 and a50 and when we heard they'd

3
00:00:07,919 --> 00:00:16,560
be at siggraph we rushed over here to see them and it looks like Intel did too

4
00:00:13,759 --> 00:00:22,240
oh Intel but why did Intel choose siggraph of all places to launch new

5
00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:23,680
gpus why hasn't NVIDIA announced theirs

6
00:00:22,240 --> 00:00:26,560
and is there even anything on the show for here that might make use of either

7
00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:33,760
of them there's only one way to find out and only one way to hear about our sponsor

8
00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:36,559
viewsonic their x2000b 4k projector

9
00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:42,719
offers a 4k HDR experience with an ultra short 0.22 throw ratio it's capable of a

10
00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:44,800
100 inch screen from just 23 centimeters

11
00:00:42,719 --> 00:00:47,120
away you can learn more at the link down below

12
00:00:54,800 --> 00:01:01,359
of the newark pro gpus the a40 is what Intel is calling an entry level

13
00:00:58,879 --> 00:01:05,199
professional card with a TDP of 50 watts in a low profile compatible single slot

14
00:01:03,359 --> 00:01:08,799
form factor there's a halfway decent performance and that's a very good sign

15
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:14,640
considering the integrated av1 encode engine and fast mature h.264 and v

16
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:16,720
encoders common to all arc gpus that's

17
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:20,400
so tempting that i could see people buying an a40 for that alone even if

18
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:24,799
they're using it alongside another GPU in the same system which is why it's so

19
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:29,280
strange that Intel isn't opting to show off that encode capability at siggraph

20
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:32,720
instead they've got a 5d renderer demo connected up to sketchup which runs at

21
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:36,880
about 30 or 40 FPS in a simpler scene like this that Intel says is indicative

22
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:41,280
of for example an interior designer or floor planner

23
00:01:38,799 --> 00:01:44,720
workload fair enough this is siggraph after all and the six gigs of video

24
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:48,560
memory is more than enough to handle a scene like this only about four gigs are

25
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:52,960
in use here at the moment on the other side Intel's got another a40 running

26
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:56,479
topaz ai video enhancement which to be fair to Intel is something that's more

27
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:59,520
likely to be used alongside that encoding engine

28
00:01:57,759 --> 00:02:02,719
unfortunately these are the only demos Intel has on the floor no a50s are

29
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:09,440
running although the only major difference between the a40 and 850 is a bump up to a 75 watt TDP and

30
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:12,720
commensurate cooler design in a dual slot configuration as well

31
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:16,879
everything else the ray tracing and compute course video memory pci express

32
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:20,959
bandwidth you name it is identical between these two cards that means that

33
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:24,720
you might be able to make an a40 into an a50 with a simple TDP adjustment

34
00:02:22,879 --> 00:02:28,000
assuming you shore up the cooling like regular arc Intel's saying that they're

35
00:02:26,319 --> 00:02:31,680
targeting aggressive price points for their performance class but they won't

36
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:35,599
tell me how much maybe they don't even know yet because

37
00:02:33,519 --> 00:02:39,200
both of these cards are rated within 75 watts of power draw they don't require

38
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:42,879
any external power connectors which is a bonus for small form factor pcs like the

39
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:48,720
nooks they have on display here they're pci express x16 cards but they're wired

40
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:52,720
for 8x at gen 4 speeds which at this performance level is probably plenty but

41
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:57,200
we'll have to see for ourselves when we get our hands on them as for display

42
00:02:54,720 --> 00:03:03,120
outputs both boast quad mini displayport 2.0 connections with HDMI 2.1 output

43
00:03:00,239 --> 00:03:08,400
capability rated for 4k 60. so HDMI 2.0

44
00:03:05,920 --> 00:03:12,879
surprisingly Intel's exhibit isn't the only place to find arc gpus and for that

45
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:19,040
we're here at super micros booth to look at these Intel's arctic sound m server

46
00:03:15,920 --> 00:03:20,879
grade gpus see what they did there arc

47
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:25,680
arctic sound anyway unlike the previous arctic sound

48
00:03:23,519 --> 00:03:31,680
gpus that have been available these are based on big alchemists the same GPU

49
00:03:28,159 --> 00:03:34,159
cores as the a500 and a700 series gpus

50
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:38,000
these just began shipping in late july and super micro here will be one of the

51
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:44,560
first to deploy servers with them what we have here are two different unnamed

52
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:47,760
skus the low profile card is 75 watts

53
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:49,519
and the full beefy boy is 150 watts from

54
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:53,840
what Intel said about them so far the smaller card is actually a dual soc

55
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:59,120
design where the big one is a single kind of monolithic GPU super micro is

56
00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:03,040
wisely leaning heavily on the hardware video encoders in their data sheets here

57
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:07,599
and they tell me that in their testing Intel's performance estimates on the

58
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:12,720
encoder are incredibly understated the low profile card alone has been tested

59
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:16,639
to handle up to 60 streams of 1080p 60 streaming video which is

60
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:20,000
just insane if we're really nice to them

61
00:04:18,479 --> 00:04:24,000
they say that they'll let us take one for a test drive sometime soon is that

62
00:04:21,919 --> 00:04:29,360
right yeah that's right as for the competition NVIDIA who's sponsoring

63
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:32,800
siggraph doesn't have a booth here and sadly did not announce any new gpus the

64
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:36,800
event this year which is strange given how much time

65
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:41,280
they spent talking about the rtx revealed during siggraph 2018 in this

66
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:46,160
year's special address instead we got more details on their

67
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:50,240
plans for the metaverse and new updates to NVIDIA's omniverse platform now i'm

68
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:54,479
as excited about this stuff as the next person take that how you will

69
00:04:52,479 --> 00:04:58,000
but without hardware it's tough to see how all this

70
00:04:55,759 --> 00:05:01,680
photogrammetry and ai motion capture will be applicable to anyone really

71
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:05,600
there's a seriously massive amount of compute horsepower that goes into things

72
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:09,440
like digital twin simulations and with current gen hardware it's tough to see

73
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:13,280
how they expect to democratize these things we'll have to wait a little

74
00:05:11,199 --> 00:05:17,360
longer to see what their plans are and hopefully it's not just crank up the TDP

75
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:21,600
like we've heard so far speaking of photogrammetry while the

76
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:26,240
tech will make it easier to rapidly create 3d models even for novices

77
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:30,960
actually animating those models is another story entirely there's plenty of

78
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:35,600
examples of professional grade motion capture on the floor here but what about

79
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:40,000
you guys at home enterplask a company that's been using some pretty advanced

80
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:45,360
software techniques to take capture 2d video from a video camera or a webcam

81
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:48,720
and translate it into motion data if you've ever heard of rotoscoping the

82
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:53,680
technique used back in the 80s and 90s where animation was done by drawing over

83
00:05:51,280 --> 00:05:58,639
frames of video this is basically that but entirely automatic the best part of

84
00:05:56,160 --> 00:06:03,360
it is that it's free for individual use i can foresee a lot of v tubers picking

85
00:06:01,199 --> 00:06:06,639
up on this if they haven't already and they might pick up on finger tracking

86
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:10,800
gloves too there's a few of them on the show floor but manas here is special

87
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:15,360
because it was their tech that actually was used by keanu reeves for motion

88
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:18,560
capture for the matrix demo for unreal engine 5.

89
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:22,560
granted this is probably far more expensive than the leak motion that v

90
00:06:20,319 --> 00:06:27,199
tubers use for hand tracking today but it is extremely accurate think about

91
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:31,840
your fingers for a second the fine motor control most of us have over our fingers

92
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:36,160
the little movements you can make those can't be fully captured by film alone

93
00:06:33,919 --> 00:06:40,160
it's incredibly difficult what makes these super cool is that not only do

94
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:44,080
they track those fine movements they automatically map out the layout of your

95
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:48,080
hand each joint and bone segment are accounted for at 120 hertz they're also

96
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:51,520
wireless although they're being used wired here so when these trickle down to

97
00:06:50,319 --> 00:06:55,280
consumers it's going to make vr so much more

98
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:59,360
immersive they already have support for unity and unreal engine baked in and

99
00:06:57,280 --> 00:07:04,160
they use steam vr to boot so it's not a huge leap from here siggraph's not our

100
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:07,680
normal haunt so this might have been a little bit of a weird video still there

101
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:13,360
were some things that we just couldn't ignore for many reasons

102
00:07:10,319 --> 00:07:15,599
and here we are unfortunately it's not

103
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:20,560
as exciting as it could have been arc is still dripping out at a very slow pace

104
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:23,840
and NVIDIA is still holding out on us but at the end of the day there's a lot

105
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:27,759
of exciting things here and hopefully you found it exciting too and hopefully

106
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:33,919
you'll find our sponsor exciting as well crossout crossout is a free-to-play

119
00:08:17,039 --> 00:08:23,800
this maybe check out one of our older show videos see what things used to be

120
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:23,800
like
