Well, how low are Intel willing to on margins?
In terms of perf/area and perf/transistors what we've so far is pretty poor, so that implies to give good perf/cost they'll have go very low in their margins.
They were but Steve rounded up the marketing figures of $129-$139 to $130-$140.
Yes I think until they're competitive they'll do just that, like AMD and Ryzen. Once established they'll bring the full power of their marketing and margins to bear

Smart move for them to approach from mid range first instead of head first at top end so they don't get a bad rep and can build the product with less scrutiny on performance

They have to hit the shelves first! Then survive the OcUK gauntlet of driver quality before they even get a sniff of that 80% mindshare!
Yes won't be an easy task, if they can't do it I can't ever see us getting a third player.They have to hit the shelves first! Then survive the OcUK gauntlet of driver quality before they even get a sniff of that 80% mindshare!
Would that be 3060 performance in DX12 with resize bar enabled or DX11 with resize bar disabled? Cause it's a big difference
What Tom said has been confirmed by what Steve found in his A380 review - right now Intel GPUs can't run Direct X 9/10/11 games and even Tom said "it's going to take a long time to update the drivers for the old titles" - meaning don't buy an Intel GPU unless you plan on only playing Direct X 12 games made on new graphics engines

Intel are our only hope for a third competitor, i don't think anyone else can do it at the level AMD and Nvidia are, this stuff really is hard yo. its big brain stuff.

To be taken seriously at their first stand to the market they should have been near to their launch claim. However we are months on from when they are going to appear, but they fared even worse by now appearing to be mediocre at best and also have naff software/drivers. To make a dent in the market we expected them to come in low balling prices around May - when the market desperately needed it. They can only hope of selling anything at far reduced prices at this point in. By the time we get to see them the new Ada/RDNA3 will be upon us and unless the promised Battlemage or whatever it is that follows comes swiftly then I think it is safe to say not many enthusiast will be chomping at the bit for these cards and only laptops + entry dGPU is the best they will do for a while..
HAH just realised.
13:10 with intel engineer he's bragging that because they're Intel they can communicate with the cpu.
Maybe they can harness them smarts to work out how to be equally performant on their competitors cpus, low bar that it is.
Old habit of trying to cripple performance on AMD cpus is gonna look real dumb if it means their gpus suck more than necessary.

Interesting he mentioned 'board partners' so it looks like there will be different card designs and not just a stock Intel card.

These don't look too bad as a first attempt, to be honest. Would happily switch to Intel if the price VS performance is there on the higher end cards when we see them.
Really I would like similar performance to an RTX 3080 but in a more power efficient envelope. Whoever can do this, AMD, Nvidia, or Intel will get my money on the next gen of cards. We seem to have been on current gen for donkeys years

in an AMD system the CPU will refuse to talk though and you have to go through an intermediator like the CPUs mum via text messages

Beats the 3060, price is key.

"Performance varies by use, configuration and other factors. See system configurations and disclaimers for further details"
Have you got a link to that? Where Ryan Shrout is concerned all that information will be critical.
I'll bet it will perform best on a higher end Intel platform, you just know there will be some shenanigans

Yeah, i'm still trying to find those disclaimers, they are well hidden. They certainly aren't providing any direct links to them, its very much; Go fish, good luck finding them...
