$500 RTX 3070 mid 2022 and he thinks that's "very exciting"
Are any of you as excited as he is for a $500 RRP RTX 3070 in June 2022?
Link to where it says $500 rrp, I wasn't aware Intel released any pricing please inform us

The link also says $349. $349 for RTX3070/3080 performance in Q1 2022, whats wrong with that? RDNA 3 and Lovelace are BOTH MIA until Q4 2022

My expectation is that it won't match 3070 in gaming performance. Driver maturity will be an issue, NV/AMD have a couple of decades under their belts in terms of tuning drivers for high end gaming parts. I honestly think people are kidding themselves if they expect it to compete at that sort of level, as we get closer to launch people will be looking at the hardware and making interpolations that get people's hopes up, but if people have such high expectations I reckon they will be sorely disappointed when the benchmarks on launch drivers hit.
I hope I'm proven wrong but that's just how I see it, you look back historically and drivers have always held back challengers to NV/3dfx and AMD/ATI, i.e. PowerVR, S3, Matrox etc had some really interesting technology but let down by naff drivers or lack of adoption by developers. Admittedly the adoption of generic APIs like DX12/Vulkan should made things easier for developers but there might be some optimisations in there for NV/ATI that won't have been made for Intel day1.
What Intel need to do is target the lower midrange segment, where the big boys aren't offering much of late, price competitively (their size and manufacturing capability can help here) and grab market share. This will in term give them a platform to build on in terms of polishing the drivers ahead of future releases perhaps targeted more at the upper midrange.
I don't have as much faith in Raja as others seem to.
Always hard to say unless you worked with them. There may have just been a clash of personalities, creative differences, lack of resources whilst Ryzen was ramping up. Who knows? If he has issues a second time, that might be cause for thinking he's the common denominator![]()
Zero chance of that happening.The link also says $349. $349 for RTX3070/3080 performance in Q1 2022, whats wrong with that? RDNA 3 and Lovelace are BOTH MIA until Q4 2022
Raja has previously stated he is committed to software as well as hardware, I would expect that Intel has plenty of software engineers, AMD teases at new tools to improve game development | TechRadar
can rob the gpu of a lot of performance.
Completely agree that the mid-low end is ripe for cleaning up if they can nail a cheap, "good enough" gpu.
