Intel Defies Expectations…



Intel reportedly books a large number of chips from TSMC – meaning that Intel Arc Battlemage is still on for a second generation of GPUs.

  1. Such a cruel twist of fate that the A380 is this great low-profile card that thrashes every other one in its price range, but it's completely unusable for SFF office PC builds because of the rebar requirement.

  2. With GPU's I ended upgrading to 1050 and while it runs fine it was never all that powerful.
    I recently ordered a PCVR console and hope to upgrade to some sort of 2nd hand AMD card next.

  3. So glad Intel is sticking around for another generation. Nvidia has proven that they barely care about the GPU market anymore and AMD is perpetually in second place. The future may mean an Intel and AMD dominated market. More competition is a good thing.

  4. Not going to be easy for intel. They have to make a better product at cheaper pricing to grab market share from Nvidia and AMD. If the card is priced same or if performance is the same as AMD and NVidia then customers will stick with tried and true.

  5. Why not have 'Product Predictions' of products? Manufacturers would probly end up trying to 'beat the street' and deliver more than you guess.

  6. Intel is going to do great in the midrange market. There is no competition at $400. Nvidia is completely out of touch at the midrange market, and AMD skipped the $400 area entirely.

  7. Really happy about this. While I've been super happy with my 5800x3d and 6800xt combo I am really glad to see Intel offering competition and forcing AMD and NVIDIA to yield even a small portion of the market. I don't have any experience with Intel's GPU's but my best friend (and Destiny companion) has loved his Arc 750. Good news for all of us who just want a competitive and fairly priced market

  8. Battlemage needs to bring RTX3080/4070 performance for 400$. UE5 games are coming, and you’re going to need that tier of raster performance to get 60fps at 1440p.

  9. They need to improve compatibility with older games, that was an aspect that killed the card for me, I like to play old titles and if play some games are already hard to play in recent GPU's, i don't want to think how bad will be in ARC GPU's

  10. Dude, I bought an A750 and A770 just to test; and I'm beyond impressed. If they keep this up, Intel is about to cause a gargantuan shakeup in the GPU world that's desperately needed. I have the highest hopes and best wishes for the teams working on these projects.

  11. everyone is gonna like intel in the GPU game….until they come up with ways to optimize the cpu/gpu cross talk somehow and isolate the competitors, and become the jeff bezos of the gpu market.

  12. They should do a review pretending it's the future and they're reviewing a future product like an RTX 6090.

    Have slightly different clothing, and set/editing style, then try as hard as possible to make it believable like someone took a future video and went back in time

    It would be a ton of effort but it could be a funny video

  13. We need Intel to succeed. Who else are nvidia fanbois going to turn to when nvidia ultimately becomes an AI and workstation only company? The way they're behaving is similar to 3dfx before they cratered. Not identical, but it rhymes. Particularly the poor treatment of AIBs, lack of market responsiveness and an added complete disrespect of their own customers. If AMD responds to the market properly when setting prices for the 7800XT, they coukd make pretty big inroads with gamers this generation.

  14. If someone went back to 2013 and told me an AMD CPU + Intel GPU would be a great value gaming setup in 2023, I'd choke them silently and dump their body in the ocean.

  15. All 3 buying from Tsmc means that as soon as China attacks Taiwan, the whole market will be hit a thousand times harder than during the chip and corona crisis combined and getting any gpu even would be impossible or for prices that are in the 5 digit range

  16. Pretty sure my next gpu with be either intel or amd. Whats the point of amazing ray tracing performance if mid range nvida cards are crippled by pathetic vram and bus size. Not a chance you will even be able to use it when ue5 games are released.

  17. I will buy a Battlemage GPU assuming it around 600$ or less. Even if it is not up to par with AMD and nVidia's next gen. First badass name and next both team green and team red need a kick in the bottom from how they treated gamers for the last decade. It is like they are price fixing in locksept. Meanwhile team blue is doing its own thing. Refreshing and giving the underdog(as far as GPUs go) some funding will help my future builds after the next. If I do have to build early from some dysfunction on my main PC, I will pick up an a770. Everyone I know with one is pretty satisfied by them. The driver updates though. Makes AMD's fine wine look like Thunderbird.

  18. Hoping Battlemage kicks Nvidia into the abyss. I don’t want them to bring Nvidia pricing down, I want them to take over (temporarily)

  19. We always knew it was coming. It's just so late that they're effectively not in the race for the next two years.
    Linus, to be clear, the outlets you're likely referring to NEVER said it wasn't coming. That's what people took, but if you actually listen to the source material, This is exactly what they said was going to happen. Massive delays from original timelines, low volume, not cancelled but effectively so because they're not really going to be in the race for years.

  20. Although I would like Intel to succeed wih their GPUs and CPUs, I still remember their Core 2 days when like Nvidia now, they used to look down on their customers with disdain..

  21. I'll be watching Battlemage news closely. Alchemist had some driver issues at launch but it's proving to be a really interesting card at a reasonable price point compared to the BS that Nvidia is pulling. I wasn't really in the market for a 3060-equivalent card, but if they can scale their architecture to appeal more to the high end…
