You may have a monitor that only enables local dimming zones when fed an HDR signal but not when fed an SDR one, but that would be unusual and certainly not required. And likely something you could change in your monitors controls. On thi

HDR gaming: Yes. HDR full screen content: Yes. HDR general desktop usage: No. In fact you'll probably actively dislike it to the point of just turning it off entirely. The ecosystem just isn't ready for this yet, although with t

No, it isn't. Absolute luminance is a "feature" of PQ specifically used by HDR10(+) and most DolbyVision content (notably the DolbyVision as produced by an iPhone is not PQ, it's not "real" DolbyVision). Bu

We're not comparing to Intel's P cores but AMDs cores. 8 of AMDs cores fit in 70.6mm2 on a high performance process, and take up a fraction of that space on a high density process (see the 192 core Zen 5c chips)

You're requiring that packet #2 be available before packet #1 has finished. That's higher latency than the goal, which is packet #1 is processed & sent to output before packet #2 has arrived at all. Or perhaps you're miss

That's pipelining and it's good for throughput but it sacrifices latency. Audio is not a continuous bit stream but a series of small packets. To begin working on the next one on the CPU while the previous one is on the GPU require

Sure it can, just look at France, it had over 70% electricity from nuclear in 2018. Now sure the best time to have invested heavily in nuclear reactors was 30-40 years ago, but we still could today. The payoff won't be for 5-10 years,

Those reductions need to be part of the function being benchmarked, though. Assuming a range limitation of [-pi,pi] even would be reasonable, there's certainly cases where you don't need multiple revolutions around a circle. But t

Assuming an even distribution over a single iteration of sin, that is [0,pi], this will have a ~30% misprediction rate. That's not rare.
