Intel can't compete head to head with Nvidia on performance.
But surely it's easy enough to compete on video ram - why not load their GPUs to the max with video ram?
And also video encoder cores - Intel has a great video encoder core and these vary little across high end to low end GPUs - so they could make it a standout feature to have, for example, 8 video encoder cores instead of 2.
It's no wonder Nvidia is the king because AMD and Intel just don't seem willing to fight.
- AndrewDucker 2y agoWhich market segment wants to encode 8 streams at once for cheap, and how big is it?
- andrewstuart 2y agoStreaming and streamers want to do multi resolution streaming.
- AndrewDucker 2y agoAaah. I assumed that for that kind of thing Twitch did the transcoding.
- Schlaefer 2y agoTwitch did in the past (mostly), but it is trying pivot at the moment: Take tight control over the encoding settings on the client side and just pass the already encoded stream through the CDN. https://help.twitch.tv/s/article/multiple-encodes https://help.twitch.tv/s/article/multiple-encodes Also having different encoding settings for different purposes is desired (e.g. high quality local recording for an edit later while live streaming to different services at the same time [Twitch, Youtube, ...]). That said, I'm not aware of Intel limiting the number of encoding streams, so I don't know where the number 2 originates.
