We'll there goes the last little hope of GPU competition to bring some semblance of sanity.

RIP Arc

You can blame me. Just like washing a car, I just bought a B580.

[–] AmbiguousProps@lemmy.today 8 points 3 months ago

It definitely didn't help that I bought a Pro B50 which shipped yesterday. My bad, everyone.

And the mergers to monopoly continues.

Can't wait for my grandkids to be living in a fascist cyberpunk dystopia

And it will be allowed for sure because ya know ... Trump ...

Until the last few years of Intel falling on its face and Nvidia mopping up cash with crypto I would have never expected that Intel would turn into an underdog. This also sucks because now Intel won't be competing in the GPU space, bringing it back to just AMD and Nvidia.

Good luck competing with AMD in this space. You can't just turn up the wattage in laptops

[–] inclementimmigrant@lemmy.world 28 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Intel: hold my beer.

HOLD ON, MY DELL LATITUDE IS ABOUT TO HIT V~1~ ON ITS TAKEOFF ROLL, IT’S A BIT NOISY

[–] SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml 4 points 3 months ago

As a dell latitude owner, I relate

[–] ms_lane@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Intel is already competing in that space.

Most of the time a machine is at idle, not at full load and Intel clocks AMD in idle power, which doesn't matter at all on Desktop but is a more important metric for mobile than loaded power consumption.

[–] 9tr6gyp3@lemmy.world 27 points 3 months ago

I remember when AMD bought out ATI

[–] ms_lane@lemmy.world 25 points 3 months ago

Guess we're back to AMD only for Linux then.

[–] DaddleDew@lemmy.world 19 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

Fucking great. $800 Arc B580's with proprietary drivers that are shit for Linux.

[–] ms_lane@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

IOMMU support: Broken

SR-IOV: Just gone.

Thanks nVidia.

[–] fubarx@lemmy.world 12 points 3 months ago

There goes any chance Intel had at competing in data-center AI processors.

[–] sanpo@sopuli.xyz 5 points 3 months ago

Well, fuck.

[–] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 months ago

Is it for integrated graphics?
