RIP Arc

Until the last few years of Intel falling on its face and Nvidia mopping up cash with crypto I would have never expected that Intel would turn into an underdog. This also sucks because now Intel won't be competing in the GPU space, bringing it back to just AMD and Nvidia.
Fucking great. $800 Arc B580's with proprietary drivers that are shit for Linux.
Good luck competing with AMD in this space. You can't just turn up the wattage in laptops
Intel: hold my beer.
WHAT DID YOU SAY? I CAN'T HEAR YOU OVER THE JET ENGINE FAN!
Intel is already competing in that space.
Most of the time a machine is at idle, not at full load and Intel clocks AMD in idle power, which doesn't matter at all on Desktop but is a more important metric for mobile than loaded power consumption.
There goes any chance Intel had at competing in data-center AI processors.
