Well, educate me then. With Avigilon, running (40) 8MP Dahua cameras, enough storage for 30 days retention of key cameras.. motion/ptz/multi user/multistation viewing/all on-premise... what is the initial HW layout, initial licensing, continuous annual maintenance going to run in...

Only if you repeat without changing right? Others can use this as a good datapoint and buy less than the top core chip for their 4K surveillance. ;) It's modestly overbuilt currently at 17% utilization, considering the lower MP cameras are already being planned for replacement. I'm sure it...

There's something that's totally techporn about more cores. :love: To be honest though, for almost the same headroom as the i9-7980XE, the 16-core i9-7960X is $400 cheaper. There's a little bit of premium in having the "XE" that isn't going to impact significantly in total utilization. As...

Your cores, CPU generation, etc, all matters. Even the generation of the Intel Core integrated graphics matters. Some of your best performance comparisons of the chips and generations will be on the Blue Iris Update Helper site, from nice BI users who share their information to help others...

There's (2) power connections from the CPU to the PSU, so it can be power hungry if you start trying to OC it. But we've bought the extra cores so we don't have to OC it! i9-7980xe Bench OC'd to 5GHz has been seen to exceed 850watts --- You're not going to run this i9 24x7 like that without...

Nice performance gain Intel I9-9780XE 18-core, ASUS x299 TUF Mark 2, 32GB DDR4-2666Mhz (8x 4GB), 256GB WD Blue M.2 SSD, 4x 10TB Seagate Skyhawk vs. Dell i7-77000, 12GB, 256GB WD Blue M.2 SSD, 2x 10TB Seagate Skyhawk

FYI Finishing build: i9-7980XE 18-core, 32 GB Ram, 40 TB storage. Will provide stats shortly to compare the previous i7-7700 Dell to the new custom Asus/Corsair i9-7980XE

Fenderman or other experts, I'm sorry if I've not read enough of the forums to put this together, but after a certain amount of cameras, or MP you usually begin directing to enterprise based VMS solutions. I'm not understanding the technical threshold or bottleneck for making that decision...
