[3221.68 --> 3225.50] Their systems that needed 1.5 terabytes, uh...
[3225.50 --> 3225.94] Excuse me.
[3225.98 --> 3226.14] Yeah.
[3226.48 --> 3226.62] Wait.
[3226.98 --> 3227.28] Yeah.
[3227.36 --> 3230.00] 1.5 terabytes of memory had to be 2U.
[3230.26 --> 3232.16] Just so they could fit all those RAM slots.
[3233.72 --> 3234.20] Then...
[3234.20 --> 3238.76] The systems that were going to be used for workloads that needed even more memory than that.
[3238.76 --> 3241.76] The 3 terabyte memory systems, of which I think they only have 4...
[3242.40 --> 3245.74] Had to be 4U systems with quad sockets.
[3245.96 --> 3246.68] But get this.
[3247.58 --> 3250.68] The quad socket CPUs they were using were 8 cores.
[3251.16 --> 3255.76] So their quad socket systems actually had the same number of cores...
[3256.36 --> 3259.06] As their dual 16 core socket systems.
[3260.04 --> 3262.18] Or their dual socket 16 core systems.
[3262.42 --> 3263.48] So 32, uh...
[3263.48 --> 3263.60] Yeah.
[3263.66 --> 3264.30] 32 total.
[3265.00 --> 3265.78] And so...
[3265.78 --> 3267.54] Because the only reason they needed it...
[3267.54 --> 3269.00] Well, so they could have more RAM.
[3269.32 --> 3271.02] So this could solve that problem.
[3271.02 --> 3273.02] As long as the workloads that they're using...
[3274.10 --> 3274.90] Can...
[3274.90 --> 3276.02] Are okay...
[3276.02 --> 3278.24] With the data being a little bit slower.
[3278.40 --> 3281.90] But not as slow as trying to put it on NAND Flash.
[3282.02 --> 3283.16] Someone just asked me what I'm eating.
[3283.26 --> 3284.78] We literally just did a sponsor spot.
[3285.00 --> 3286.10] It's savage jerky.
[3286.20 --> 3287.56] I'm just still eating their stuff.
[3288.18 --> 3291.70] Another cool thing is that they're saying that it's supposed to be cheaper.
[3292.14 --> 3293.32] Lower prices than DRAM.
[3293.32 --> 3294.22] Yes.
[3294.34 --> 3295.76] Much cheaper than DRAM.
[3295.80 --> 3300.46] Which, like, usually happens with new technologies over time.
[3300.66 --> 3304.24] It's not super common for that to happen with a new technology right out of the gate.
[3304.52 --> 3304.62] Yeah.
[3304.62 --> 3305.24] So that's pretty cool.
[3305.30 --> 3306.92] But it's intended to be...
[3306.92 --> 3307.04] Yeah.
[3307.04 --> 3312.48] Because it's designed to be an order of magnitude bigger than DRAM.
[3312.86 --> 3314.32] But also a lot cheaper.
[3314.42 --> 3316.22] To sit right in between NAND and DRAM.
[3316.38 --> 3317.18] Which is super cool.
[3317.50 --> 3317.52] I'm actually...
[3317.52 --> 3319.80] I'm super excited to see where this takes us in the future.
[3320.30 --> 3323.66] Oh, I realize I should probably talk about the deal that we are working on.
[3323.66 --> 3333.10] So we've been working with LimeTech, makers of Unraid, for a year and a half now, I think.
[3333.24 --> 3334.66] Going all the way back to...
[3334.66 --> 3334.86] Oh, no.
[3334.94 --> 3337.42] Because 7Gamers1CPU was a year and a half ago.
[3337.68 --> 3337.88] Yeah.
[3338.04 --> 3341.04] So it would have been closer to two years now, I guess.
[3341.14 --> 3341.44] Wow.
[3341.54 --> 3341.80] Really?
[3341.80 --> 3342.80] Anyway.
[3342.92 --> 3343.36] Anyway.
[3343.52 --> 3345.42] So we've worked with them on a number of projects.
[3345.58 --> 3346.50] We use their software.
[3347.02 --> 3354.92] And I like it so much that basically what we're working on is an agreement where I would actually
[3354.92 --> 3358.30] take a stake in the company and I would be working with them on future development.
[3359.44 --> 3363.86] We've seen it in action in terms of where it's at today.
[3364.10 --> 3369.00] But I think that there's a lot of stuff that we could help with that would make it so that
[3369.00 --> 3370.62] they could really take things to the next level.
[3370.62 --> 3373.80] So basically, that's where I'm at on that.
[3374.02 --> 3375.20] Nothing is finalized.
[3375.28 --> 3378.74] So I can't really give any more detail than that.
[3378.80 --> 3382.76] But I just thought in the interest of you guys understanding sort of what we're up to
[3382.76 --> 3384.92] over here, I want to make sure that that's clear.
[3385.40 --> 3390.08] The reason that I was comfortable with LimeTech, even though I have specifically gone out of
[3390.08 --> 3394.90] my way to not buy shares in companies like AMD and Intel, is that we don't really cover
[3394.90 --> 3395.54] their competitors.
[3395.54 --> 3398.70] I mean, not just in the last two years.
[3399.36 --> 3405.68] But even you go back a couple years before that, we basically don't touch NAS systems.
[3406.58 --> 3411.72] And the reason for that is because we just don't really like most of them.
[3411.82 --> 3413.82] We don't think they're user friendly.
[3414.10 --> 3415.70] We don't think they're that easy to use.
[3416.22 --> 3417.38] Which is the same thing.
[3417.50 --> 3417.82] We tried.
[3417.82 --> 3419.30] That's the main reason that I don't like them.
[3419.40 --> 3419.84] I tried.
[3421.94 --> 3424.92] And quite frankly, viewer interest is not that high.
[3425.46 --> 3429.42] And a lot of the stuff that we've done with Unraid has really been more about the other
[3429.42 --> 3430.80] functionality that it has.
[3431.04 --> 3433.56] So like the virtualization and stuff like that.
[3433.72 --> 3436.78] So yeah, that's basically where I'm at on that.
[3436.78 --> 3445.54] So what else do we got?
[3445.62 --> 3447.42] I mean, we got actually a lot of topics this week.
[3447.42 --> 3447.64] Deezer?
[3447.74 --> 3448.18] Scraphead Wars?
[3449.16 --> 3450.28] Yeah, I'm down.
[3450.50 --> 3451.94] How are we going to do that again?
[3452.24 --> 3453.16] Jump to a random part.
[3453.84 --> 3454.28] Hmm.
[3455.32 --> 3455.76] Okay.
[3456.00 --> 3459.68] So I don't know how to do...
[3459.68 --> 3460.34] Oh, you know what?
[3460.34 --> 3463.12] I never figured out the audio input.
