And the thing is, AMD lost a huge chunk of market share during that generation.
Cheaper and at least as good, that was also the last true high end GPU AMD made, before now with RDNA2, for a long time they didn't see the point in developing GPU's like that, even said as much, now they are trying again, it needs to ###### work.

Hawaii was also a huge perf/area win for AMD.
Both were on 28nm.
Hawaii was 438mm² and 6.2 billion transistors.
GK110 was 561mm² and 7.08 billion transistors.
Hawaii lasted well, but got really bad reviews. Drivers were a bit raw but it with its 4GB way outlasted the 3GB 780 and 3GB 780 Ti.

Hawaii was a good GPU, the refernce cooler was bad but any AIB cooler turned it to a properly good GPU, i had a 290 None X, one of the best GPU's i ever owned, and the last one from AMD for me.

The A380 is an overclocking monster
With a quick overclock, the A380 gains 40% extra performance, yes 40% not a typo!
Its 40% on average, broken down by game it seems to be anywhere between 20% and 70%, Doom eternal runs 70% faster after overclocking
'Overclocked' Intel Arc A380 Shows Impressive Gains
Power limits appear to be holding back performance

Like all the speculation on other forums, 40% extra overclocking performances is hard to believe...
... Unless they're is something seriously broken with Intel's power management.
Still, +40% would make the A380 far more competitive (in those games it can actually play).

Look at the clocks.
So a 48Mhz overclock gave him 40%? Yeah right.......
Blyat!
Give me some of that green Intel, the ruble is worth about 12p right now.... PLEASE!!!!!!

Really? The results look more like resize bar off/on.Indeed

That's probably it ^^^^^^

Gamers Nexus did a review on it, and believe they said you need resize bar on for it to work well
If I remember right the conclusion was:
- They're much more competitive with rebar (i.e. if you have an old board, don't buy one).
- They perform far better in Vulcan and DX12, DX9 and DX11 performance is not competitive (i.e. don't buy one for old games).
- They seem to show less drop off at higher resolutions, compared to competing cards.
The Intel engineer in another video said they target driver optimisation for the top 100 games in Steam and with popular reviewers. DX9 and 11 optimisation is likely to come much later.

Oof...... catagorically beaten by the GPU that everyone thinks is an utter pile of junk.
CB did make a perf/watt table too:
Something strange about CB's review though: I think they may never have been sample a RTX3050 and subsequently don't have that in there. But even now with GPU prices receding, the 3050 is a lot more expensive than the 6400/6500 or the 1650. Looks Igor and Golem also didn't have a 3050 their suite. A quick look here and elsewhere does have it costing nearly twice what an 6500 XT does, so fair enough.

I just checked on pricing. You're right
The 6500XT is £160
The 3050 is £280
The 3050 is about the same price as the RX 6600 which is way ahead of the 3050 in performance. Its the competitor to the RTX 3060.
All this is just so odd to me, i know the RX 6500XT has come down a little since launch but the 3050 hit the shelves at $450 while the RX 6500XT was always $200, people like Hardware Unboxed said it was worth that while continuing to hate on the RX 6500XT.
While the 6500XT has come under its MSRP the 3050 right now is still over its MSRP, and you know what, they did this, their underselling of the 6500XT and massive up-selling of the 3050 is why this situation exist, and still they claim to be on the side of consumers.
You know what, i can't wait to see the mental gymnastics and clown world insanity these tech journalists will go to to up-sell these Intel cards, or is it just an Nvidia thing with them?

In fact i just remembered, while Hardware Unboxed was telling their audience to like the RTX 3050 at that $450 price the RX 6600XT, which is only 15% slower than the RTX 3060Ti was on the shelves at the same price.
