[FFmpeg-devel] Hardware purchase request: Ryzen 9 CPU

[Niklas Haas]

Hi all,

My current workstation (first generation Zen) is getting rather old (8 years).
On top of being slow and power hungry, it is also not very representative
anymore of modern hardware.

Additionally, I would like to try and incorporate AVX-512 instructions for
my swscale rewrite, in particular for the pixel conversions.

The recently released Ryzen 9 series of workstation CPUs are looking very
attractive right now; In particular the 9950X3D, which appears at the top of
the timed compilation benchmarks.

As such, I am humbly requesting the purchase of this CPU, alongside a suitable
mainboard and RAM:

The total price at time of posting would be 1364 EUR.

Thanks,
Niklas
