   According to the NVMe industry, there are some imaginary   
   videographers working in a video editor with 8K RAW,   
   at 2GB/sec. (I was told in the past, that some video   
   editors "layer" and that figure would be multiplied   
   by the number of layers or so.) There is no mention of   
   what piece of equipment can eat that composition and do   
   something with it.   
      
   They used to make accelerator cards in the past, for video.   
   There was a guy who used to shoot video of the Amazon and such,   
   and he had a Matrox accelerator card in his PC. But today, I   
   think general purpose GPUs have taken a good bite out   
   of that market.   
      
   Someone doing that work, is going to be using a RAID card,   
   just to host a generous storage space for their edits. Even   
   if the computer itself cannot keep up.
