I'm guessing most people don't give much thought about what's under the hood of their computers when they make music or do other tasks. I'm quite guilty of this myself. An engineer friend sent me this video hoping I'd like it . . . and I do. Even though it's somewhat dated, I learned a few things. Some of the areas addressed is where I spent chunks of my career and still have a baby toe or two in these areas today. And yes, 36 trillion is a very large number . . . GPUs and CPUs

That was very interesting. I have a nVidia 4600RTX in my music/photography computer, obviously for my photo work, thus my interest in this video. I'm passing this one on to my research and computer friends. But it did put the matter + antimatter = warp speed theory out the window

Buy Micron? I have no problem with that as there's a lot in my portfolio as well as NVidia, Apple, Microsoft etc.

Amazing stats.
Interestingly, the GPU power isn't critical for BIAB. The 2011 Minecraft spec would likely still be fine. I'm not saying this as a knock against BIAB, just an acknowledgement that the GPU isn't among the important things. The CPU is, though, if you have version 2025 and want rapid results, since the CPU is now being asked to do more to give us the greatly improved song regeneration speed. I don't even have a separate graphics card; my CPU handles it (I don't work with video and don't play games).

nterestingly, the GPU power isn't critical for BIAB. Or any DAW, for that matter. Graphics, AV and AI, yes.

I wasn't willing to go that far, because I've seen some pretty impressive graphics in some audio programs like Acoustica, and in some plugins used by DAWs. Nothing approaches the power needs for realism when rendering fake people and scenery, though.

Interestingly, the GPU power isn't critical for BIAB. This is my understanding too that BiaB is powered by the CPU and on my machine runs just fine. My local GPU has 1280 CUDA cores and 6.6 billion transistors; that just blows me away at where the technology is today. As for Mario's comment about warp speed: "Captain, I’m givin’ her all she’s got, but the engines can’t take much more!" "She’s gonna blow, Captain! We can’t push her any harder!"

As for Mario's comment about warp speed: "Captain, I’m givin’ her all she’s got, but the engines can’t take much more!" "She’s gonna blow, Captain! We can’t push her any harder!" I saw a nice meme about that ... "Just turn them off, Scotty, and we'll just carry on forever in the same direction ... that's how space works". Apparently also, in space nobody can hear you scream, but they can hear phasers, crashes and explosions. Maybe that's where string theoty comes in. Maybe I'm odd, but I auitomatically thought warp/weft from weaving rather than warp speed.
