Windows task manager runs Doom
- Thread starter BubblegumNemesis
- Start date
Seems like a nice way to add multithreading to old games and applications
the program that runs the cores probably also outputs sound too, the normal way
From the looks of it barely it hovers around the 20 to 30 percent as per the video.
It's fake.
From the description of the video:
Basically he took a normal Task Manager, recorded it, then edited in edited Doom footage, added % signs to each pixel to match the darkness at each frame.
There's 2 other clues that it is fake:
* The task manager would have a scroll bar for that amount of cores.
* The task manager does not update CPU core utilization this fast.

Basically every task manager "pixel" is a processor that can have a low load (no color) or a high load (dark color) and everything in between.
Pretty wild to think of this.

Most likely it's fake but that description in no way says so. It just describes the process of getting the output image to display. That part would be the same whether doing it fake or real.

The Xeon Platinum 8180 is a S8S chip, which means a max of 8 CPUs on a board. The video claims 32.
The 8180 is also an $11k+ CPU, so even if a 32 socket motherboard existed (it doesn't), that would be $352k+ just for the CPUs. It would be the most expensive Doom port around.
