Work Flow

This is why Google built a custom chip for YouTube

For everyone else who isn't Google, we did the heavy lifting for you

Google’s ASIC called ‘Argos,’ helps YouTube encode and process videos much more efficiently. Argos chips provide “up to 20-33x improvements in compute efficiency compared to its previous traditional server set up,” according to a Google executive. Another report suggests that Argos replaced over 10 million Intel CPUs in YouTube.

The real cost of live streaming

Cost comparison supporting 100 HD streams, 24/7, across 3 video encoding scenarios, over a three year period.

Companies that converted their software encoding to Smart VPUs realized 75-85% savings in their data center’s OPEX expenses.
