00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:05.359
this is it Intel arc pro

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

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

00:00:13.759 --> 00:00:22.240
oh Intel but why did Intel choose siggraph of all places to launch new

00:00:18.480 --> 00:00:23.680
gpus why hasn't NVIDIA announced theirs

00:00:22.240 --> 00:00:26.560
and is there even anything on the show for here that might make use of either

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

00:00:30.480 --> 00:00:36.559
viewsonic their x2000b 4k projector

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

00:00:39.440 --> 00:00:44.800
100 inch screen from just 23 centimeters

00:00:42.719 --> 00:00:47.120
away you can learn more at the link down below

00:00:54.800 --> 00:01:01.359
of the newark pro gpus the a40 is what Intel is calling an entry level

00:00:58.879 --> 00:01:05.199
professional card with a TDP of 50 watts in a low profile compatible single slot

00:01:03.359 --> 00:01:08.799
form factor there's a halfway decent performance and that's a very good sign

00:01:06.880 --> 00:01:14.640
considering the integrated av1 encode engine and fast mature h.264 and v

00:01:11.600 --> 00:01:16.720
encoders common to all arc gpus that's

00:01:14.640 --> 00:01:20.400
so tempting that i could see people buying an a40 for that alone even if

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

00:01:22.720 --> 00:01:29.280
strange that Intel isn't opting to show off that encode capability at siggraph

00:01:27.200 --> 00:01:32.720
instead they've got a 5d renderer demo connected up to sketchup which runs at

00:01:30.640 --> 00:01:36.880
about 30 or 40 FPS in a simpler scene like this that Intel says is indicative

00:01:35.200 --> 00:01:41.280
of for example an interior designer or floor planner

00:01:38.799 --> 00:01:44.720
workload fair enough this is siggraph after all and the six gigs of video

00:01:43.040 --> 00:01:48.560
memory is more than enough to handle a scene like this only about four gigs are

00:01:46.720 --> 00:01:52.960
in use here at the moment on the other side Intel's got another a40 running

00:01:50.560 --> 00:01:56.479
topaz ai video enhancement which to be fair to Intel is something that's more

00:01:54.720 --> 00:01:59.520
likely to be used alongside that encoding engine

00:01:57.759 --> 00:02:02.719
unfortunately these are the only demos Intel has on the floor no a50s are

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

00:02:07.280 --> 00:02:12.720
commensurate cooler design in a dual slot configuration as well

00:02:11.280 --> 00:02:16.879
everything else the ray tracing and compute course video memory pci express

00:02:15.040 --> 00:02:20.959
bandwidth you name it is identical between these two cards that means that

00:02:19.120 --> 00:02:24.720
you might be able to make an a40 into an a50 with a simple TDP adjustment

00:02:22.879 --> 00:02:28.000
assuming you shore up the cooling like regular arc Intel's saying that they're

00:02:26.319 --> 00:02:31.680
targeting aggressive price points for their performance class but they won't

00:02:29.840 --> 00:02:35.599
tell me how much maybe they don't even know yet because

00:02:33.519 --> 00:02:39.200
both of these cards are rated within 75 watts of power draw they don't require

00:02:37.440 --> 00:02:42.879
any external power connectors which is a bonus for small form factor pcs like the

00:02:41.280 --> 00:02:48.720
nooks they have on display here they're pci express x16 cards but they're wired

00:02:45.760 --> 00:02:52.720
for 8x at gen 4 speeds which at this performance level is probably plenty but

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

00:02:54.720 --> 00:03:03.120
outputs both boast quad mini displayport 2.0 connections with HDMI 2.1 output

00:03:00.239 --> 00:03:08.400
capability rated for 4k 60. so HDMI 2.0

00:03:05.920 --> 00:03:12.879
surprisingly Intel's exhibit isn't the only place to find arc gpus and for that

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

00:03:15.920 --> 00:03:20.879
grade gpus see what they did there arc

00:03:19.040 --> 00:03:25.680
arctic sound anyway unlike the previous arctic sound

00:03:23.519 --> 00:03:31.680
gpus that have been available these are based on big alchemists the same GPU

00:03:28.159 --> 00:03:34.159
cores as the a500 and a700 series gpus

00:03:31.680 --> 00:03:38.000
these just began shipping in late july and super micro here will be one of the

00:03:35.840 --> 00:03:44.560
first to deploy servers with them what we have here are two different unnamed

00:03:41.440 --> 00:03:47.760
skus the low profile card is 75 watts

00:03:44.560 --> 00:03:49.519
and the full beefy boy is 150 watts from

00:03:47.760 --> 00:03:53.840
what Intel said about them so far the smaller card is actually a dual soc

00:03:51.680 --> 00:03:59.120
design where the big one is a single kind of monolithic GPU super micro is

00:03:57.200 --> 00:04:03.040
wisely leaning heavily on the hardware video encoders in their data sheets here

00:04:01.040 --> 00:04:07.599
and they tell me that in their testing Intel's performance estimates on the

00:04:04.720 --> 00:04:12.720
encoder are incredibly understated the low profile card alone has been tested

00:04:09.920 --> 00:04:16.639
to handle up to 60 streams of 1080p 60 streaming video which is

00:04:15.040 --> 00:04:20.000
just insane if we're really nice to them

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

00:04:21.919 --> 00:04:29.360
right yeah that's right as for the competition NVIDIA who's sponsoring

00:04:27.040 --> 00:04:32.800
siggraph doesn't have a booth here and sadly did not announce any new gpus the

00:04:31.520 --> 00:04:36.800
event this year which is strange given how much time

00:04:34.960 --> 00:04:41.280
they spent talking about the rtx revealed during siggraph 2018 in this

00:04:39.440 --> 00:04:46.160
year's special address instead we got more details on their

00:04:43.520 --> 00:04:50.240
plans for the metaverse and new updates to NVIDIA's omniverse platform now i'm

00:04:48.720 --> 00:04:54.479
as excited about this stuff as the next person take that how you will

00:04:52.479 --> 00:04:58.000
but without hardware it's tough to see how all this

00:04:55.759 --> 00:05:01.680
photogrammetry and ai motion capture will be applicable to anyone really

00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:05.600
there's a seriously massive amount of compute horsepower that goes into things

00:05:03.360 --> 00:05:09.440
like digital twin simulations and with current gen hardware it's tough to see

00:05:07.360 --> 00:05:13.280
how they expect to democratize these things we'll have to wait a little

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

00:05:15.600 --> 00:05:21.600
like we've heard so far speaking of photogrammetry while the

00:05:19.440 --> 00:05:26.240
tech will make it easier to rapidly create 3d models even for novices

00:05:24.240 --> 00:05:30.960
actually animating those models is another story entirely there's plenty of

00:05:28.960 --> 00:05:35.600
examples of professional grade motion capture on the floor here but what about

00:05:32.720 --> 00:05:40.000
you guys at home enterplask a company that's been using some pretty advanced

00:05:37.360 --> 00:05:45.360
software techniques to take capture 2d video from a video camera or a webcam

00:05:42.960 --> 00:05:48.720
and translate it into motion data if you've ever heard of rotoscoping the

00:05:46.800 --> 00:05:53.680
technique used back in the 80s and 90s where animation was done by drawing over

00:05:51.280 --> 00:05:58.639
frames of video this is basically that but entirely automatic the best part of

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

00:06:01.199 --> 00:06:06.639
up on this if they haven't already and they might pick up on finger tracking

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

00:06:08.560 --> 00:06:15.360
because it was their tech that actually was used by keanu reeves for motion

00:06:12.880 --> 00:06:18.560
capture for the matrix demo for unreal engine 5.

00:06:16.560 --> 00:06:22.560
granted this is probably far more expensive than the leak motion that v

00:06:20.319 --> 00:06:27.199
tubers use for hand tracking today but it is extremely accurate think about

00:06:24.960 --> 00:06:31.840
your fingers for a second the fine motor control most of us have over our fingers

00:06:29.520 --> 00:06:36.160
the little movements you can make those can't be fully captured by film alone

00:06:33.919 --> 00:06:40.160
it's incredibly difficult what makes these super cool is that not only do

00:06:38.080 --> 00:06:44.080
they track those fine movements they automatically map out the layout of your

00:06:42.000 --> 00:06:48.080
hand each joint and bone segment are accounted for at 120 hertz they're also

00:06:46.800 --> 00:06:51.520
wireless although they're being used wired here so when these trickle down to

00:06:50.319 --> 00:06:55.280
consumers it's going to make vr so much more

00:06:53.360 --> 00:06:59.360
immersive they already have support for unity and unreal engine baked in and

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

00:07:02.000 --> 00:07:07.680
normal haunt so this might have been a little bit of a weird video still there

00:07:06.400 --> 00:07:13.360
were some things that we just couldn't ignore for many reasons

00:07:10.319 --> 00:07:15.599
and here we are unfortunately it's not

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

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

00:07:22.240 --> 00:07:27.759
of exciting things here and hopefully you found it exciting too and hopefully

00:07:25.360 --> 00:07:33.919

this maybe check out one of our older show videos see what things used to be

00:08:20.800 --> 00:08:23.800
like
