Intel brings 32GB of VRAM and plenty of bandwidth to the local AI inference party
“Corporation Pivots to Follow the Money” I suppose.
I’m so tired of this bubble. The diminishing returns of more compute on AI started rearing its head in 2024. Can we start allocating tech to stuff that people actually want, again?
At least this is for consumers/prosumers to buy and OWN, instead of data center products that we can only rent. And we desperately need Intel in the GPU market. (Or any 3rd player)
Although IDK how useful they are outside of AI
Intel says this card will start at $949 for its own reference design
Dunno how that compares to fancier Nvidia cards.
B770 when
This is effectively that die, though it wouldn’t make sense for Intel to sell that without the ‘compute board margins’ at this point. We probably won’t see gaming skus for this, though in sure they’ll run games fine.
asking price will suck given the segment though
yeah… not sure if we’ll see desktop celestial in any form at this point. I hope I’m wrong.
good news is that imagination are also looking to get back into dgfx, I guess we’ll see how how that goes in a few years time.
Intel says this card will start at $949 for its own reference design, and partner cards will be available from brands including ARKN, ASRock, Gunnir, Maxsun, and Sparkle.
Damn, local AI is an expensive hobby. One day though.
