I'm interested in benchmarks to compare to my current RX 6650 XT, which is pretty similar to the 4060.
It has 12GB VRAM, which might be enough to mess around with smaller LLM models, but I really wish they'd make a high VRAM variant for enthusiasts (say, 24GB?).
That said, with Gelsinger retiring, I'll probably wait until the next CEO is picked to hear whether they'll continue developing their GPUs, I'd really rather not buy into a dead-end product, even if it has FOSS drivers.
12GB VRAM in 2024 just seems like a misstep. Intel isn't alone in that, but it's really annoying they didn't just drop at least another 4GB in there, considering the uplift in attractiveness it would have given this card.
And here I am with 8GBs in 2024 lol
The industry as a whole has really dragged ass on VRAM. Obviously it keeps their margins higher, but for a card targeting anything over 1080, 16GB should be mandatory.
Hell, with 8GB you can run out of VRAM even on 1080, depending on what you play (e.g. flight sims).
I doubt it would cost them a ton either, and it would be a great marketing tactic. In fact, they could pair it w/ a release of their own LLM that's tuned to run on those cards. It wouldn't get their foot in the commercial AI space, but it could get your average gamer interested in playing with it.
It wouldn't cost much, but this way they can release a "pro" card with double the vram for 5x the price.
I doubt they will. Intel has proven to be incompetent at taking advantage of opportunities. They missed:
They need a compelling GPU since the market is moving away from CPUs as the high margin product in a PC and the datacenter. If they produced an AI compatible chip at reasonable prices, they could get real world testing before hey launch something for datacenters. But no, it seems like they're content missing this boat too, even when the price of admission is only a higher memory SKU...
I keep eyeing these Arc cards to possibly put into my Plex system. They are looking pretty juicy.
I've got an A380 in my Jellyfin server and it's a beast
Needs virtio support to really be a top seller!
Need benchmarks and TDP to even start thinking about trying one of these. AMD is years ahead and I've never had an issue.
B770 to hypothetical B9XX is what I'm looking for. Phoenix benchmarks because not many doing Linux benchmarks. 8700-8800xt or B700-B9XX for me next year
If this turns out to be a solid performer, the price could make it the best midrange value since AMD's Polaris (RX 480). I hope Intel's build quality has improved since the A770.
If that was some OEM design for a retail PC, fine. But fuck off with shit like glued back plates on dedicated GPUs you buy.
So is this the one with the telephone sanitizers?
