Intel's $249 Arc B580 is the GPU we've begged for since the pandemic | PCWorld (www.pcworld.com)

If even half of Intel's claims are true, this could be a big shake up in the midrange market that has been entirely abandoned by both Nvidia and AMD.

Buy nVidia forever then.

Enjoy the prices!

Honestly, my other option is Apple silicon. I’m not a price sensitive buyer.

Hell yeah 800 bucks for a basic-ass storage option

🤷‍♀️

For 800 bucks you get nothing worth having there.

But the point is that so far, Intel has not produced anything worth having at any price. And for GPUs, their process node troubles will make it really hard for them to compete on price or on performance.

And that overlooks what Intel is usually super crappy on that NV nailed right out of the gate: developer support.

I was purely commenting on Apple silicon. As an owner of an M4 MBP I should add. The best chip in the world can still suck as a product if it's held hostage in this fashion. 800 bucks is what Apple charges for 1.5TB added storage.
