Damn straight! And Nvidia knows it...which is why Huang recently sent a letter to his employees saying they are not a graphics company any longer. The secret sauce is probably out though. Being the ExtraSS frame generation. The downfall of Nvidia in the GPU market has begun. Intel just has a way lower msrp. The only thing Nvidia has for it is ray tracing. Unless Intel is catching up there as well...
I love watching Tom Peterson. Makes me feel like I work at Intel. He gives us great technical info unlike most marketing people. This is the same guy who was honest about DX9 performance.
I already loved listening to Tap talk about tech stuff, because you can tell there's real passion and excitement there, but he gained mad respect from me when he answered my question on a PCW live stream. I simply asked "How is Arc for VR?" and without skipping a beat or waffling about he straight up said "Do NOT buy Arc for VR." Later on I discovered Arc isn't even _that_ bad in VR, just not up to Nvidia standards, but neither is AMD. He could have easily gone the AMD route and pretended that they don't have VR issues still, but he didn't. He chose to be honest. _THAT'S_ someone that cares more about customer satisfaction than selling a GPU.
Intel needs to make Tom Petersen the public face of Intel. Period. It still surprises me that Intel allows Tap to just say whatever he wants and be honest. It's refreshing when the industry is so infested with secrecy and marketing BS like AMD and Nvidia fed us this week. He's likable, and you can tell he cares about this dumb crap as much as we do. He's genuine. I mean, sure, Tom is still here for "marketing", but you can't deny there's a violent difference in listening to him tell you about Arc vs watching AMD/Nvidia slides intentionally misrepresenting their cards with frame gen and doctored graphs to lie that their products are far better than they really are.
If Intel can leverage the entry-level and mid-range segments to bring price structures back from the realm of madness I'll be eternally grateful, regardless of how much I like or dislike their products going forward.
I love it when Tom is on. One of the most affable people in the industry and great at explaining things in an easy to understand way. No surprise that he can't confirm specifics about Battlemage, but good to hear it's still coming and making some progress. As an A770 16GB owner, I've been pretty satisfied with the progress Intel's been making with Alchemist. Looking forward to seeing more competition with AMD on integrated side, too.
He's definitely a good for intel. It's important when you can see the excitement in the work that's being done. I tried the a770 a little too early but love what intel is doing. If the claw comes out with what I need in terms of ram capacity and its awesome cpu with option to use the capacity, then I'm sold. I don't feel 16gb is enough in terms of gaming stability and that stems from what I've used in desktops all this time. 699 is hefty for just a handheld because of what you can build in power from a desktop. But having 32 gb of memory alongside the awesome core will net you more overall pc performance. I know I'm being picky, but it's as simple as using multiple applications with 32 gb of ram that leave something to be desired from this mobile variant
Competition is always great for the consumer. Monopolies are truly one of the worst things on the planet. Like when it comes to stuff like passenger rail also, often you only have the national rail operator, who's at the mercy of the politicians, which really sucks, or even Disney owning star wars, makes it very difficult to improve things. I don't care who makes or runs stuff, I just want the best possible products, content, or service.
It's just a shame that all these years later, AMD is pretty awful regarding ray tracing performance and any features like their version of DLSS and Frame Gen, also they don't have their version of NVIDIA IRAY for 3D rendering projects which is sadly, a massive must for me personally... so whils they are great on price, VRAM and native performance, they're sadly lacking in those other vital areas, otherwise I'd have joined team red too. But regardless, good choice!@RAM_845
Tom is always so enthusiastic, I love it. Can’t wait for more Arc in the future! Will definitely buy Battlemage and maybe even the MSI Claw if I can afford it.
Can't wait for the Brightline West high speed rail line to be finished between LA and Vegas, so people can travel to and from events like CES, while having a hazzle free, relaxing, fast, climate neutral, and enjoyable journey.
I hope Intel will keep Tom Petersen around for a long time to come, he's such a down-to-earth lovely guy to listen to that makes a company feel more "family"-like than what you typically get from marketing people.
Bought an Arc a750 back in October, and I absolutely love it. I had bought an RX 6700 XT used for around the same price, which is definitely a more powerful card, but the one I bought had really, REALLY bad coil whine (as in, I could feel it in my skull while using headphones kind of whine--probably why I got it so cheap), and besides, for production, it's just not as efficient or capable. The only issues I have with my Arc card now is that FFXI's launcher is visually bugged to hell and back, and that DOSBox games don't really work on it for now. The first I have a workaround for, the second I can just use my laptop to play until they're fixed in an update.
@@daviddelucasruiz7480😂😂😂 the 4080 is something like 55% faster than a 3060TI that the A770 doesn't manage to get near. I'm hoping Battlemage does better but if it manages 30% better than it might get near a 3080. Aka 4070ish if we're lucky. I suspect Celestial or Druid is when an actual high end Intel card might be possible.

I think Intel(with all their money) did not expect nor calculated how hard it is to sew together a working GPU/driver package that works seamless for 99% of all common software. Intel was caught off guard regarding this matter. This is more an observation than anything else. I really hope Intel will be successful one day with their GPU line
Yes, and because of all their hard work they're showing the weaknesses in AMD products when it comes to graphics. You can go look at low end performance (even though the A770 isn't supposed to be low end) using the RTX 4060, A770 and the RX 7600 and while the 7600 has excellent raster performance, as soon as RT is enabled it gets beat out by the A770 now. I feel confident that Intel's next product line is going to be good. I'm more worried about AMD because if they can't boost RT performance by 100% this next gen they're probably screwed. All it will take is Intel to move into more handhelds and AMD is probably on the way out the door. It won't be in the next 4 - 5 years but I can see Intel pushing AMD out by the end of the decade. And this gets me to all the discussion people have about needing a 3rd player in the market. I don't think there's enough marketshare to make it worthwhile for 3 companies, and the company at the bottom is ALWAYS going to struggle to get sales.
Not really. AMD and NVIDIA have had a 20 year head start on "game optimization" (aka, driver hacks). Now that ARC and Xe have a foothold in the market, it's much more likely that game developers will test their code on that hardware and iron out issues before launch.
@@gtwannabe2 You think maybe that 20 year head start is a bit of an exaggeration? I mean I know AMD bought out ATI but ATI was a shell when it was bought. It was already sinking so it's not like AMD got a huge wealth of knowledge when they bought ATI. The main thing they got was infrastructure and IP. I mean when AMD bought ATI, Nvidia was already in the process of burying them, just like ATI and Nvidia had already buried all the other players in PC gaming graphics. But I guess 16 - 17 years is close enough to 20 to just say 20. Game devs use whatever hardware they want. It's not their job to make a game run on all the hardware that exists. They'll take INPUT from hardware companies, for instance different game devs who have tried to say something like "It's time to upgrade your hardware" have probably gotten a rude awakening from Intel, AMD and Nvidia who then tell them the most common GPUs out in the real world have 8GB RAM or less and THEY need a game with settings that run well with that much memory.
@@johndoh5182 Yeah right. Just like meteor lake is a game changer. Meteor lake sucks and arc does too. No amount of fanboyism is gonna change that. Even Ponte vechio sucked. If Battlmage isn't significantly better than Intel will be screwed. MI 200 and 300 killed Ponte Vechio.
I love my A770 LE (my A750 LE is still sealed in the box, it’s my space card). I’m not a gamer. The LE editions are build so nicely. Great looking and solidly built.
I was under the impression that Brad was some AI generated person like Max Headroom. Because he is always inside some screen frame in your podcasts. But he is actually a living human, what do you know
3:38 not to mention computational physics/engineering workloads that need tons of VRAM and are only bottlenecked by VRAM bandwidth. The A770 16GB punches well above its weight class in OpenCL compute, the 16GB can fit huge physics models and the strong 256-bit memory bus (560GB/s) really shows off in performance. Meanwhile Nvidia only offers the 4060 Ti 16GB with 128-bit bus (288GB/s), that performs only half as fast in such workloads, while costing a lot more.
I would love nothing more than to shake Tom's hand and congratulate him, I personally wouldn't go back to any other brand if battlemage launches with my current experience of actual care and HUGE performance increases from the Intel team on my A770.
Please Intel, keep pushing these video cards and fixing those game drivers. I bought an A77016Gb for half the sell price from a frustrated gamer. It's my video system's main driver and I'm very happy with it. I really hope the next gen will be decent mid-range speed/power and work pretty well with most games. I'll be buying a Battlemage desktop for sure if that's the case. (Unless you go Nvidia crazy dollars)
I've been waiting for Intel to bring back GPU's since 2000. They use to have dedicated GPU based on integrated GPU, but with more vram and they ran great.
I love listening to this guy, he is such a massive talent and yet he talks so well about this stuff in an intelligible way. And... he sounds like a really nice guy.
I really like that straight out of the gate with Arc they have tensor cores and RT cores. I hope Battlemage significantly improves on the architecture.
It just needs to have far better DX9 support for people to be able to play older titles something to fix the gap while waiting for better updates for new games if needed. Intel need to keep supporting Tom and his Team they really do
For me Tom, he is a kind person, he is serious about the Intel Arc product, the drivers are expected to continue improving and next generation, the Intel Arc A770 is also expected to surpass RTX 3060 Ti between 3% and 5% and can surpass RTX 4060 a 10%, So big plans, Intel has always been very serious with products and prices, also next generation Intel Arc
The nice part about these low-power, low-performance handheld PCs is that they refresh interest in really good games that are good games for their game play, not necessarily for technologically marvelous graphics.
Intel crew lets goooo, I mean had my A770 for over a year now, (inside a nuc of all things) and as far as the card goes i have not really had issues with it, it has got better overtime, and ill be awaiting for the next GPU untill they bork something, we have so much computing power these days most people will be fine whatever GPU they choose.
I was going to purchase the AMD 7900xtx for £1,000 but I am now holding for the release of the Battlemage card. I cannot wait. I really hope intel takes first place. They can do it.
Desktop-wise I plan to jump in at 20 Angstrom or 18 Angstrom which have ribbonFET and PowerVIA Those are the BIG changes coming. Meteor Lake was a small step.
I really like this guy he does intel a great justice . That being said i still can't get over intel jabbing at AMD for tiles being glued together, now they wanna act like they are the one's innovating with it while losing in most if not all metrics.
This is good. But why do I launch Fallout 3, Deus Ex HR (new) and a number of other projects on DirectX and see constant lags when I press any keyboard key. What drivers should I use to solve this program? After all, when using Vulcan, everything is perfect. UHD 750 PS - Thank you Intel for XeSS. Great job.
RUclips still freezes on me randomly (it's frozen on this very video right now) and WoW can't enable ray tracing among other bugs/issues with my A750 LE and latest drivers in Windows 10. I really hope these things are ironed out this year. I've been so tempted to go back to an Nvidia product because of them.
I’m from the future 😂 A770 on Win11 can’t do gpu-acceleration in Chrome. HDR needs to be turned off and on again sometimes, worst case is that I need to unplug and plug in the HDMI cable. Hoping for some GPU news from AMD and Intel during Gamescom, else I just buy a 7600 XT to get rid of my problems.
@@_TrueDesire_ I ended up buying a 6700XT for cheap as replacement. It has been a dream, comparatively. I haven't even noticed the GPU since. It seamlessly works without any troubleshooting as it should be.
@@BananasananaB I also miss the “global fps limit” like Nvidia and AMD has.. Thinking of biting the bullet and simply buy the 7600XT this weekend, then wait for next gen. I also noticed a certain bombardment in COH3 makes the whole screen flicker 😅 I’m too old for this crap hehe. Sadly no good deals on old 6000 series here in Sweden.
@@_TrueDesire_ "I'm too old for this crap" yes, I understand what you mean by that! You just want it to work the way it should. I wouldn't continue to 'suffer' if I had the means not to. The 6700XT I found on ebay was a Dell model. A guy had probably a dozen new copies for sale for about 180 USD each. It arrived with the caps in the connectors and the plastic still on it, no dust or visible use. Clean. But I would have probably paid closer to double just to get away from the Intel Arc card. The Intel drivers just aren't there and probably won't be for years unfortunately. I hope you can find a nice replacement at a decent price! Sanity is worth the price haha
Rooting for Intel. They have a handheld PC with MSi to counter AMD/Asus, and XeSS is as good as DLSS. I hope Intel continues to give AMD & Nvidia a headache, on the GPU front.
I just hope their next line of Arc dGPUs aren't only for the mid to low end of the market. It's about time to toss a card into the highend, something that can give 4080 performance for a way better price.
"big" battlemage was canceled long ago. There is no market for a 500+ dollar intel GPU until they can build trust with people who spend that much on GPUs. Alchemist while getting better has yet to build that trust.
What they really need is to build the next Polaris, or RDNA 1 if you want to be optimistic. Just think of how successful the 480 and 5700 XT were despite not being high-end
To me it sounds like they are creating a concept similar to bridges in networking where they are isolating cores to do specific tasks but then introducing them back into the "stack" via a bridge in order to isolate parts of the chips for low power usage.
Thanks for upstreaming ipex-GPU to pytorch soonish! THis makes a big difference for me! Markets? I want a high end workstation 5k - 20k PCIe accelerator with 64GB or more vram (maybe HBM) for large scale model inference. Don't sell me IDC. Or sell my Guadi3 for workstation... Right now you have nothing for that segment. Should I give 12k to nvidia for an RTX 6000 Ada instead?
So basically everyone has quoted this video wrong in regards to the Battlemage release date being late 2024. The quote was about seeing each others, and responded to as a witty joke. Lol! Way to take quotes out of context! Did all journalists loose their sense of humor? Should be potentially Q2 or most likely Q3 is my guess. What he did confirm here however is that all Battlemage GPUs will have at least 16GB of ram. Making the latest rumors about it false. Though that was a fake rumor for more than one reason.
When or where did Petersen confirm that Battlemage will have at least 16 GB? I didn't see or hear anything about it in the video. And RedGamingTech's video suggests otherwise.
Of course the first mainstream Intel handheld, is made by MSI, the biggest company in bed with Intel. I haven't seen a decent laptop from MSI in with an AMD chip in years. Often only releasing some unknown low-tier model with worse cooling, display and speakers etc despite having a technically superior chip. Comical. All the people talking about how nice it is to have healthy competition. How about not paying off OEMs to nab exclusivity with higher end laptops so customers are forced to use Intel if they want an OLED panel etc. Then we can talk about competitive.
Keep on going, Intel has something here.
Damn straight! And Nvidia knows it...which is why Huang recently sent a letter to his employees saying they are not a graphics company any longer. The secret sauce is probably out though. Being the ExtraSS frame generation. The downfall of Nvidia in the GPU market has begun. Intel just has a way lower msrp. The only thing Nvidia has for it is ray tracing.

The A770 16GB punches well above its weight class in OpenCL compute, the 16GB can fit huge physics models and the strong 256-bit memory bus (560GB/s) really shows off in performance. Meanwhile Nvidia only offers the 4060 Ti 16GB with 128-bit bus (288GB/s), that performs only half as fast in such workloads, while costing a lot more.
Gogogo Intel! Intel's back baby! Stronger than ever before!
I gotta say, I love having an intergrated gpu on a desktop
Love my LE A770 16gb, can’t wait to get my hands on Battlemage!
I would love nothing more than to shake Tom's hand and congratulate him, I personally wouldn't go back to any other brand if battlemage launches with my current experience of actual care and HUGE performance increases from the Intel team on my A770.
The ARC will save us all
Lol! 🤣🤣😂😂
Please Intel, keep pushing these video cards and fixing those game drivers.
I bought an A77016Gb for half the sell price from a frustrated gamer. It's my video system's main driver and I'm very happy with it.
I really hope the next gen will be decent mid-range speed/power and work pretty well with most games.
I'll be buying a Battlemage desktop for sure if that's the case. (Unless you go Nvidia crazy dollars)
The advantage of using a standard GPU chip in a handheld. Is easier driver maintenanc/updates. That translates to better preformance and less bug's
I've been waiting for Intel to bring back GPU's since 2000. They use to have dedicated GPU based on integrated GPU, but with more vram and they ran great.
I love listening to this guy, he is such a massive talent and yet he talks so well about this stuff in an intelligible way. And... he sounds like a really nice guy.
Great to hear more about Intel's GPU work from Tom!
I am very pleased with my A770 Limited edition 16GB. not the fastest card but ultra stable and butter smooth with my games and applications.
I don't like Intels corporate greed but the engineers are genuinely brilliant and I have high hopes for Arc
and you think AMD and NVIDIA are different? ahhhh to be young again.
I really like that straight out of the gate with Arc they have tensor cores and RT cores. I hope Battlemage significantly improves on the architecture.
This new crop of handheld devices feel like the spiritual successors to the PS Vita. I'm excited for it.
Can you make affordable workstation cards with a lot of vram? I would like more ai compute and memory please.
I do hope they keep going
Intel Arc FTW
It just needs to have far better DX9 support for people to be able to play older titles something to fix the gap while waiting for better updates for new games if needed. Intel need to keep supporting Tom and his Team they really do
I can’t wait for Arc 2.0
For me Tom, he is a kind person, he is serious about the Intel Arc product, the drivers are expected to continue improving and next generation, the Intel Arc A770 is also expected to surpass RTX 3060 Ti between 3% and 5% and can surpass RTX 4060 a 10%, So big plans, Intel has always been very serious with products and prices, also next generation Intel Arc
Looking forward to all this stuff.
LOOOK! it's a wild Brad 😮
The nice part about these low-power, low-performance handheld PCs is that they refresh interest in really good games that are good games for their game play, not necessarily for technologically marvelous graphics.
Intel crew lets goooo, I mean had my A770 for over a year now, (inside a nuc of all things) and as far as the card goes i have not really had issues with it, it has got better overtime, and ill be awaiting for the next GPU untill they bork something, we have so much computing power these days most people will be fine whatever GPU they choose.
Lol
Battlemage!
He convinced me on buying the msi claw. He sounds like he knows a lot. And makes it sounds good.
Don't rush. Wait for the performance comparisons from reviewers
Nice shirts🔥🔥🔥
I’m hoping the driver updates continue, and that the performance moves up in Battlemage.
I was going to purchase the AMD 7900xtx for £1,000 but I am now holding for the release of the Battlemage card. I cannot wait. I really hope intel takes first place. They can do it.
You mean battlemage? Or are we not there yet
Desktop-wise I plan to jump in at 20 Angstrom or 18 Angstrom which have ribbonFET and PowerVIA Those are the BIG changes coming. Meteor Lake was a small step.
Let's hope it releases Intel Arc graphics from other brands, MSI, ASUS, ASROCK, EVGA, ETC
I would love to see Intel ARC in a MiniPC. Now that iGPUS can rival discrete GPUS such as the GTX 1630, I think it has a lot of potential
😂😂 the guy in the background jumping at 16:54
Overclocking Arc card's is so rewarding :-)
I'll be their next flagship (no doubt)
Thanks Tom
Bring on Battlemage!
I really like this guy he does intel a great justice . That being said i still can't get over intel jabbing at AMD for tiles being glued together, now they wanna act like they are the one's innovating with it while losing in most if not all metrics.
Tom needs to be the face of ARC.
It seems to me based on the arc cards hardware that there is alot of performance still left in them waiting to be unleashed.
This is good. But why do I launch Fallout 3, Deus Ex HR (new) and a number of other projects on DirectX and see constant lags when I press any keyboard key. What drivers should I use to solve this program? After all, when using Vulcan, everything is perfect.
UHD 750
PS - Thank you Intel for XeSS. Great job.
When I play The Witcher 3 (new), I use XeSS + 720p. It's cool.
When I use FSR + 720P.. it's horrible.
@@redmoogle FONV 😎
@@redmoogle I'm sad. (
GTA IV..
RUclips still freezes on me randomly (it's frozen on this very video right now) and WoW can't enable ray tracing among other bugs/issues with my A750 LE and latest drivers in Windows 10. I really hope these things are ironed out this year. I've been so tempted to go back to an Nvidia product because of them.
I’m from the future 😂 A770 on Win11 can’t do gpu-acceleration in Chrome. HDR needs to be turned off and on again sometimes, worst case is that I need to unplug and plug in the HDMI cable.
Hoping for some GPU news from AMD and Intel during Gamescom, else I just buy a 7600 XT to get rid of my problems.
@@_TrueDesire_ I ended up buying a 6700XT for cheap as replacement. It has been a dream, comparatively. I haven't even noticed the GPU since. It seamlessly works without any troubleshooting as it should be.
@@BananasananaB I also miss the “global fps limit” like Nvidia and AMD has.. Thinking of biting the bullet and simply buy the 7600XT this weekend, then wait for next gen. I also noticed a certain bombardment in COH3 makes the whole screen flicker 😅
I’m too old for this crap hehe.
Sadly no good deals on old 6000 series here in Sweden.
@@_TrueDesire_ "I'm too old for this crap" yes, I understand what you mean by that! You just want it to work the way it should.
I wouldn't continue to 'suffer' if I had the means not to. The 6700XT I found on ebay was a Dell model. A guy had probably a dozen new copies for sale for about 180 USD each. It arrived with the caps in the connectors and the plastic still on it, no dust or visible use. Clean. But I would have probably paid closer to double just to get away from the Intel Arc card. The Intel drivers just aren't there and probably won't be for years unfortunately.
I hope you can find a nice replacement at a decent price! Sanity is worth the price haha
Quicksync also enables great Plex server performance. The more power efficient such devices are the better.
Any way to get lower power profiles?
Need updated features in arc control. Need virtual super resolution equivalent asap
Can't wait for the 530M!
Lets be honest here, as much as i want there to be competition, the future of Arc will end the same as all previous Intel dGPU efforts.
What about linux drivers fot ARC GPUs..
There are Linux drivers available from the intel website I believe.
Why is Adam's pinky blue and orange?
I cut my hand bad before we came to CES, so I had to bandage up. My wife is a preschool teacher so she has all the fun colors!
-Adam
Oh I hope you still had a fun time at CES and you heal well@@pcworld
Dammit ARC needs to work!!!
exciting all the new tec hitting the ground running go go go.
We want a gpu that runs 1080p at 120hz that can be upscaled to 4k.
Rooting for Intel. They have a handheld PC with MSi to counter AMD/Asus, and XeSS is as good as DLSS.
I hope Intel continues to give AMD & Nvidia a headache, on the GPU front.
I'll choose intel gpus when they have the fastest option. Good luck!
anyone knows the name of the game on the console there?
It looks kinda like Hades but I've never played the game so I can only tell from artstyle.
Did Intel switch to chiplets when making GPUs? I'm surprised because their processors don't have this tech.
I just hope their next line of Arc dGPUs aren't only for the mid to low end of the market. It's about time to toss a card into the highend, something that can give 4080 performance for a way better price.
"big" battlemage was canceled long ago. There is no market for a 500+ dollar intel GPU until they can build trust with people who spend that much on GPUs. Alchemist while getting better has yet to build that trust.
What they really need is to build the next Polaris, or RDNA 1 if you want to be optimistic. Just think of how successful the 480 and 5700 XT were despite not being high-end
Unfortunately, they canceled it. Despite that, 4070 Ti and 4080 are the battleground in the GPU space.
they should be like china and steal nvidias ip lol
Finally! A reasonable comment.@@Stars-Mine
To me it sounds like they are creating a concept similar to bridges in networking where they are isolating cores to do specific tasks but then introducing them back into the "stack" via a bridge in order to isolate parts of the chips for low power usage.
Nice Intel! GG!
Contrast the knowledge and the passion one Intel engineer has versus AMD's Marketing Manager that tried to talk up their 8000 series APUs.
Thanks for upstreaming ipex-GPU to pytorch soonish! THis makes a big difference for me!
Markets? I want a high end workstation 5k - 20k PCIe accelerator with 64GB or more vram (maybe HBM) for large scale model inference. Don't sell me IDC. Or sell my Guadi3 for workstation... Right now you have nothing for that segment. Should I give 12k to nvidia for an RTX 6000 Ada instead?
So basically everyone has quoted this video wrong in regards to the Battlemage release date being late 2024. The quote was about seeing each others, and responded to as a witty joke. Lol! Way to take quotes out of context! Did all journalists loose their sense of humor? Should be potentially Q2 or most likely Q3 is my guess.
What he did confirm here however is that all Battlemage GPUs will have at least 16GB of ram. Making the latest rumors about it false. Though that was a fake rumor for more than one reason.
When or where did Petersen confirm that Battlemage will have at least 16 GB? I didn't see or hear anything about it in the video. And RedGamingTech's video suggests otherwise.
Intel arc alchemist successor news cool.
Keep going intel
Of course the first mainstream Intel handheld, is made by MSI, the biggest company in bed with Intel. I haven't seen a decent laptop from MSI in with an AMD chip in years. Often only releasing some unknown low-tier model with worse cooling, display and speakers etc despite having a technically superior chip. Comical. All the people talking about how nice it is to have healthy competition. How about not paying off OEMs to nab exclusivity with higher end laptops so customers are forced to use Intel if they want an OLED panel etc. Then we can talk about competitive.
Sounds Amazing. Im sure Intel Arc can compete with Radeon in the next 2 years.
lets goo intel!
Fanboy. So sad!
TLDR: Battlemage < 1 year
