Acemagic AD08 Mini PC Review: Is a Core i9 Wasted Here?
TEAM SGG PATREON www.patreon.com/SomeGadgetGuy Acemagic AD08 Review is FINALLY done! This was a seriously delayed video for me. Dealing with malware, and taking more time to carefully clean out the computer, I've talked about this experience a lot already. Still, there's a box with a processor in it, and there's still a question I need to answer.
Is a Core i9 overkill in a system like this?

    If Ai uses your content in any capacity, you should be paid handsomely. I don't know what that number is, but it's the right thing to do. High-powered ai crafted content should bring an equal amount of compensation. That would make creators feel more at ease. There needs to be more tracking of data from AI so that every output that Gemini puts out, there will be a value placed on its usage. I did watch the entire presentation by the way, but there is one thing that I didn't notice until I saw your video. Rewatching the part where google steps in and stops the phone call is now a bit creepier to me. We all know Google listens to you (they all do), but this is just that one-step-further thing where they are not only listening in on your phone calls, they are stepping in and going 'no no no I CONTROL the conversation now'. Used in the capacity to stop scam calls is pretty useful. Especially for the elderly which is a real problem. But thinking about the use-cases where you are having a very private conversation and Google outright listening in and potentially TAKING ACTION is very concerning. Where does the data go? That's messed up.

    Has anyone used msi afterburner on arm processors? I mainly interested in overclocking the cpu and gpu since I use msi afterburner with every gaming windows device even with non msi devices. I maxed out the cpu and gpu sliders intentionally when I overclock the cpu and gpu and I always max out the ram speeds on purpose with xmp. For my 4k high end gaming pc from 2019 for my ddr4 ram is set to xmp with 4000 mhz with the g skills trident z royal with the latency at 17 with the timings at 17-17-17-37 with 32gb of 4 sticks of ram. I really wanted the 4600 mhz g skills trident z royal samsung b die ram since my motherboard maxes out at 4600 mhz but only 16gb of samsung b die ram was only available and I wanted 32gb of samsung b die ram specifically for overclocking the ram and because 16gb of ram is not enough. I use the intel core i9-9900k desktop cpu with the msi godlike motherboard, noctua nh-d15 cpu cooler and evga 2080 ti ftw 3. I also have 3 samsung 970 evo plus nvme ssds, 2 samsung 860 evo sata ssds and a seasonic prime titanium 1,000 watt power supply. The 11gb of vram is not enough on the 2080 ti.

    With respect to music, back in 2011, I was telling people that the recording industry should develop a system that tags the stems for all of the music in their catalogue measure by measure with metadata. Then make the stems available for purchase at the retail level. The metadata would allow them to track in real time how people were remixing, reusing, and deploying published creative content. This would also allow them to meter and gauge just how much should be paid in royalties if the finished product was sold commercially and met the requirements for such royalty payments as well. People didn't understand what I was talking about back then. Now they've missed the boat as that data has been turned into vector databases and used in AI training for this new variation on digitally created music.

    Well i do agree with him that a phone might be enough for video editing i would still prefer my ARM Tablet mostly for screen size is helpful for video editing and 3D modeling. The difference from 1 L40 and whatever Qualcomm has on their SoC for video editing is huge for video encoding but for video editing it will be the same. You go from minutes on a L40 to maybe hours on the Qualcomm SoC. The down side is the L40 GPU draws more power at 350Watts when under 100% load and has to be in a PCie gen 4 x16 electrical and physical slot for it to be fully utilized or you are just leaving performance behind. Now when you get back down to what people who have to mind how much money they are spending like a RTX 4070 and below i do agree with him the newest software on an ARM processor can encode videos quicker though with less encoding options. For RUclips it will have enough options same for Twitch as they share the same supported video support. So it goes to where you want to use non-standard video encoding with non-standard audio encoding for whatever reason. VLC and MLC are good with decoding those videos but RUclips and Twitch are not. The iPhone and Android just will not allow you to do so forcing you to use the standard settings. Now for like the majority of tasks the avg consumer does ARM is good enough to do them with a few modifications for the user to make as it is windows for ARM not windows for x86. Mostly get the ARM version of software not the x86 version of it.
