The Video Encoding Card of my DREAMS - EXCLUSIVE SAMPLES!

AMD just announced the new Alveo MA35D - a media accelerator card that can deliver 32 streams of 1080p60 encoding, 8K, AV1, and more. This is the video card of my DREAMS and I already have video samples to analyze against GPU AV1 encoders!

This card looks amazing.

Enterprise version 32 Streams $1595
Prosumer Version 16 Streams $999
Consumer version 8 streams $499

Make it happen AMD!!

[CoalitionGaming]

Really want AMD to release a more consumer facing, consumer friendly priced version of this but with a twist...also make it an HDMI capture card. All-in-Wonder reborn! Would be sick.

[_lime.]

It's awesome of the team over at AMD to encode some videos for you. Really shows how confident they are in their tech. AMD has been rocking this strategy of data center to consumer for a while now and it seems to be paying off. It really gives them a chance to make big money, and thus justify the large investment in new tech, rather than just relying on the desktop market. Give it a year or two and we'll probably see a consumer card, or possibly a graphics card with this tech built in.

You're literally the only person talking about this kind of stuff...thanks! You think you could get a physical card in the future?

[rynieryarom]

I can really see small to medium business implementing these for all kinds of stuff. A small sport stadium, a multi-person vr rink, a bank/business surveillance that actually details that sock face...

[datriaxsondor]

Gotta say, that 1080/60 @ 2Mbps is.... wow, that's pretty impressive. 2Mbps on anything else, would look like a mosaic in comparison.

[SydneySE_]

WOW. That 8mb sample looked so crisp for that bitrate. That is super impressive. I really hope Twitch will adopt AV1 soon but I have my doubts. As someone who owns an ARC card for just AV1 encoding I'm still impressed with how good QS AV1 quality is. SuperNova seems next level though. Exciting times. You're like the only person bringing us this stuff and killing it lately. Good stuff man!

The first platform to adopt this will probably see a surge in content creators, content, and/or views. This is only the beginning.

This is such a cool piece of kit. Hopefully they bring it to consumers as well. If AMD made a version that was a quarter of the size, it could still do 8 streams at 10w and 400$. That would make such a big difference in the adoption of AV1. Finally no more H264-deep-fried livestreams. Hurray.

[RNGwhydoihavetoregis]

Thanks AMD/Xilinx for doing this man a solid.

[deldarel]

I can't wait until Linus gets his hands in it! He absolutely has use for this in his main business, and use for multiple of them in floatplane!

[TerryWindell]

For a pro or semi-pro level gig, this paired with something like a TriCaster would be TOTALLY SIC! Game changer is an understatement! 🤯

[RubyRoks]

I really hope AMD just goes crazy and includes one of these ASICs as a second die on their 8000 GPUs. Half of what this card can do is a significant improvement to the encode/decode segment of their existing chips and at only an 18w penalty

[rdsii]

I'm not even a streamer, but one of these in my blue iris server would be a minor miracle. A half length half height card that operates at 35 watts, fits in a 2U server, and can handle 32 camera feeds at full resolution is the holy grail.

[Hobo_X]

Hopefully that AMF issue gets fixed! AMD should take a scaled down version of this VPU design for their next Radeon cards, that would be such a huge selling point. Even if it was scaled down to just a couple AV1 streams at once.

[pierrerama]

Thank you so much for talking about this card and its potential.
I founded a computer vision startup in the sports industry and this hardware could change everything for us.
I'll be happy to talk about this, feel free to reach out !

[ReetinEntertainment]

I have been thinking for a while that they should just have a standalone encoder card like that. That's amazing and I love it.

[dragojess]

This looks amazing! I would love to see a smaller version of this for consumers in the future. Even like half of this power would be plenty for just about any individual or small team

[pacmon]

This looks pretty cool. A budget friendly version of this that could add support for AV1 in older machines and take enc/dec load off the older hardware would be amazing.

Hi my friend, you should make a new "Nvenc vs Quicksync vs VCE vs CPU" Benchmark video featuring the latest versions of these encoders. The video you released 3 years ago had a great success !
