Competition is good, but to me it feels like Intel is still a decade away from being truly competitive with team green and red.
If the rumors of RTX 3070 levels of performance are true then for a "first" go they are well into the we can compete territory.
The Alchemist is 512EU they could squeeze a bigger EU count for a Turbo edition and it would reach RTX 3080 or higher levels of performance. (wishful thinking).
Battlemage will likely be the only time they have an xx80-ish class card.
For me its all down to pricing really, if they can price this thing at or under a RTX 3060ti then they have a real shot at being successful.
You dont really need to have the king of the hill chip to be seen as competitive as not that many people actually buy the king shit chips.
The most popular DXR generation cards are
RTX 2060
RTX 2070
RTX 3070
If Intel makes an RTX 3070 class card they are bound to climb the gaming rig charts pretty quickly because the xx70 class is the most popular segment.
Im praying the price it correct so Nvidia realize the xx70 segment was never supposed to be 500 frikken dollars.
We were buying these things for tree'fiddy.
I'm confused. Is this an integrated GPU or a discrete one?
edit: spelling
Its a discrete GPU:
