Power consumption and efficiency matters again then?
Intel have a similar approach to nvidia for RT grunt/perf too, which is why they demolish amd here so no it's not just software. Of course their current version isn't good hence why I and many others haven't touched it, it has arguably been an alpha/beta product, doesn't change the fact that they have addressed many flaws very quickly, AMD have taken how long in the past to address some of their massive downsides like black screening, poor dx 11 performance and so on? Pretty sure we're talking about months and even years for them. But unlike amd, intel will be heavily investing more into their dgpu than amd since amds focus isn't here now.
