Here goes any hope of cheaper Intel GPUs...

They can keep them at that price.

The_Arbiter · 23 Oct 2021 at 13:14

I think they just won't sell then, in big numbers anyway. Higher end cards are readily anyway, so if this leak is anything to go by people who were waiting will just go red or green now.
And with rumours of 6500xt and 3050/ti being available soon, i'm not sure Intel will do very well there either.
Who wants to guineapig previously mass untested drivers?

Intel GPU, do not want.

Whole lots of people will do that voluntarily for Microsoft's excrements.

And why not Amd and Nvidia get away with it.

People will buy it because its not AMD or Nvidia and will want to see the new shiny precious.

Ah, but 16Gb VRAM!

What is important is that Intel sell these GPUs directly to the customer.

Intel will adapt prices to the current scalped market. It's unfortunate for us, consumers.

I'm hoping @LtMatt gives it a go to replace his precious Mech!

The Merc is on its way back, the Red Devil wins the day.

P.S as I'f I'd ever buy a Intel GPU. Aside from performance, imagine the drivers.

Nobody understands the intel driver plague, they will through scrunched eyes be begging AMD all is forgiven!

I have seen what switching to a newer driver build can do, never mind starting from scratch with a range of new products and drivers. Good luck to early adopters.

Meaning they want all profit margins for themselves without letting others do the scalping...

We have a pig worker shortage at the moment in Norfolk If you'd like to earn a few extra quid?
