Thanks. The numbers still aren't lining up for me, but guess it can't be helped :) They're saying that encoding a season of Stranger Things took 190k CPU-hours

They're saying that encoding a season of Stranger Things took 190k CPU-hours. That's about 20k CPU-hours per one-hour episode. If they need 300k cores round the clock, that implies they're encoding 360 hours of content every day (300k*24/20k=360). To a Netflix customer, it seems pretty obvious they don't have 360 hours of new content coming in daily.
