While RDNA 2 isn't good at mining in general, this is still a good sign.

A market for them already exists, otherwise you wouldn't be seeing all these pocket computers that have been around since the 80's to today. There's also the fact that the first shipment and bulk of Steam Decks are also sold out completely, so there's definitely an audience for handheld PC's.

gaming laptops is an actual catagory so you'r goddamn right

Said console players also fail to remember that it wasn't vale's fault entirely either, which to this day still irks the hell out of me. I hate Alienware for generally being a fake techie brand that sells high on brand image alone, and yet they are somehow allowed to get away with making an overly shitty Steam machine and selling it at a higher price and that's somehow Valve's fault?, lol.

It's more impressive when you don't have a top of the line PC .

My 1080ti still managing it.

Flagship Intel Arc Alchemist desktop graphics card spotted with 2.4 GHz GPU clock

Now this is an Engineering Sample so without proper drivers, it would have a deficit. But it feels like with each passing day, Intel is squandering the opportunity.

Instead of releasing their GPUs during the crypto boom where 6 year old GPUs were back to their original MSRP prices, they are now releasing it during a time where Crypto is settling back down, GPU prices are starting to normalize, stock is finally starting to catch up with demand and most importantly, Lovelace could be 3 months away. What a fuck up.

Intel 13th Gen Raptor Lake CPUs Bring Up To 15% Single & 40% Multi-Thread Performance Gains In Q3 2022 To Tackle AMD Ryzen 7000 ‘Zen 4’ Chips

Least their CPUs looks to be quite competitive.

AMD RDNA 2 Impresses As Radeon 600M’s Integrated GPU For Ryzen 6000 APUs, Offers Near GTX 1060 Performance In Cyberpunk 2077

AMD's RDNA 2 iGPU performance is more interesting than half of their budget dgpu lineup.

Yeah Alchemist is looking bad. Apparently its on par with a 5700XT (on Timespy) lol

How on earth does it come from being a 3070Ti competitor to a 5700XT lol. This is going to be DOA unless they make it super affordable.

Only Raja would fuck up an opportunity this hard. When Nvidia released their 2000 series GPUs for crazy prices with no games that had Ray Tracing for months and DLSS was shat, Raja could have released an AMD GPU that focused on raster for a reasonable price. Instead Vega 7 released for $700 with broken drivers, performed worse than 1080 Ti which you could have gotten for $400-$500 at the time and got shrekt by a 2080 all while the 2080 was more power efficient, offered Ray Tracing and DLSS... GCN's last swan song was such a big joke that it made Turing feel like a good value and boy did Turing age like Fine Wine compared to Vega/RDNA 1.

Now Raja is at Intel and he's goofing shit up there. Like if GPUs all go back to their MSRP by the time Arc gets released, who the heck is gonna buy Intel? Arc is on TSMC's 7nm so it certainly isn't going to be cheap. Even if Arc has 3070 Ti performance, unless the price is $100-$150 lower, there's zero reason to get one as a 3070 Ti will give you a proven platform. And when Lovelace comes out, it will get rekt by a 4060.
