Get dat new 64 core AMD,,
Start Utube Career
Haha, I think the most multitasking I've done since January 17 is browsing in Firefox while ripping a music CD - I make that 1 core at 100%, one at maybe 20% and 62 unused! Will that make me famous enough for youtube? People certainly wouldn't watch for my entertaining and positive outlook on life...
I'd consider a Ryzen 1600 build if the only M-ITX mobo I can find in the UK wasn't an ASUS but it is and they failed to update my bios so are blacklisted for 5 years.
Well,, it wouldn't help you ripping the CD if the CD came off a disc drive. ~7.8MB/s
But, Let's say you had 50 cds to convert to Flac..
ANNNND you had 2x 512GB nvme SSDs
A 64 core cpu in this instance would certainly speed up the conversion process..
CDs were averaging 12x so double that, but you're right - not enough to stress a decent CPU core. Now that you mention it though I did convert over 200 albums from wav (yes, need wavs to play on my Tera Player) to ogg to put on my phone, but as you know my crappy IGPU died so there's only one place to put an nvme drive on the ITX board and it's currently empty. Wouldn't have my music collection on it anyway, it's still on proper hard drive! Plus the script was only running one thread as I was too lazy to research how to do it properly. Like I was trying to explain to a guy at work the other day who asked about my computer (you should have seen his face when I said i3 3 something, 8gb, single 4:3 monitor
)) - I'm an ex geek. Or maybe just a depressed geek. Either way my enthusiasm has long gone and my impatience that can only be tamed by having the near latest and greatest has waned.
It's half five, day wasted and no sign of the postman with my cpu. Could have got a better/cheaper one if I'd put in some effort today which is annoying, as is the lack of a reply.
