Leaked benchmark of Intel Arc Alchemist discrete desktop GPU shows RTX 3070 Ti performance

I really hope Intel at least tries to sell their GPUs for reasonable prices

Crypto Price Crash: Bitcoin, Ethereum, BNB, Solana, Cardano And XRP Suddenly In Freefall

It's been down for almost a month now and isn't recovering yet.. Do we see the sparkle of light at the end of the tunnel?

This is promising. While a 3070Ti equivalent might now quite the top end or flagship.. if priced right and Intel have ample supply at launch. This could be a the GPU people have been looking for. Assuming scalpers/miners don't sweep them up.

Tbh we might be at the end of the tunnel for Bitcoin. With many countries banning Crypto currency and Russia looking like its going to follow.. We just need the other big player like US to abolish it and its gg. Hopefully it dies out this year though as the tech coming up (GPU wide) is definitely to look out for.

[Rumor] In other news Insider/leaker Greymon55 states there's going to be a RX 6000 refresh coming up from AMD. No RDNA 3 until late 2022 or even 2023?

Yea it will be interesting to see. If Bitcoin and etc actually does go back down to reasonable levels and Eth switches to staking, then we may see the cryto go back to pre-ampere levels. If that happens, then the supply should once again normalize but that would be bad for Intel cause if priced the same, I am sure most people would choose Nvidia any day of the week.

We will see though but if Intel messes up this opportunity, it would be the biggest facepalm we have seen in a while.

Probably not even if the 3080's somehow drop to $1000 in 6 months time it's still a massive premium over MSRP and by then the 4080's will be on the verge of launching and Nvidia will likely bump up the price and list them at $900-1000 MSRP knowing people are desperate for new GPU's and the GPU market will be just as terrible.

I wish I could be more optimistic about the 4000 series but I just can't bring myself to be.

Yea I am sure the price is gonna be pretty high but they generally don't make pricing decisions until closer to launch. So if they see the market stabilizing, while I am sure the price will still be higher than Ampere launch, it might not be too bad. And considering the rumours of GPU performance from Lovelace/RDNA 3 supposed to be insane where even a 4070 should be able to beat a 3090. Many people could get away with getting a "lower tier" gpu. But we will see though.

Personally I'll be aiming for the 4090 assuming the price is less than $2000 USD.
