Netflix can now serve 100Gbit/s of video (so something like 12,500 individual 4K streams) with an appliance using 100 watts of power. That’s 8 milliwatts for each 4K stream.
Remember that number the next time someone tells you that watching a Netflix show is as bad as driving an SUV or some shit.
@karppinen that's a hell of a network card. Something like $4k-$20k depending on specs, seems like?
@zrail yeah, and pretty much unobtainium. Then again, the ConnectX-4 Lx’s in my servers are from decommissioned Netflix OCAs so I guess these too will trickle down eventually
