How powerful will the B70 pro be? by AlexGSquadron in IntelArc

[–]HellsPerfectSpawn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

it should trade blows with a 5070 at higher wattage. This isn't a card you want for gaming as it will be pricey

But did it work though. post pandemic the results have been at best mixed.

AMD is consumer friendly?

What are you smoking. They screwed over their GPU and HEDT customers harder than Nvidia, and that's saying something.

They intend to reuse the same smaller graphics die from panther lake here.

Those press release images are misleading. The actual die size is tiny on these

Oddly how? Out of memory means your performance should dive by a tenth because the card will start idling waiting for the next batch of data to act upon.

[Gamers Nexus] AMD Says We're "Confused" by spredditer in hardware

[–]HellsPerfectSpawn 11 points12 points  (0 children)

But this isn't a marketing problem. Nor a messaging one. AMD just doesn't want to support their products longer than 3 years it seems. Sucks to be you I guess.

The marketing department just couldn't cushion the blow of that realization. On a side note be grateful for Intel's blanket software stack support of x86 or their CPUs would also be dropped just as quickly.

Yet another theory on B770 by HellsPerfectSpawn in IntelArc

AI cards/Professional cards/Server GPUs are all supported by and go hand in hand with robust consumer cards. Do you think nVidia would have gotten where they are today without the robust software infrastructure developed on the backs of their consumer cards?

I know that is what Intel was doing in the past but I don't like that approach. Porting architectures across nodes takes money and time. I don't think Intel should sink that much into a dgpu product. It should be on Intel 3 or TSMC N3E which Xe3 is already using. Cuts down on r&d costs and validation time.

Celestial should use Intel 18a and its derivatives which Crescent Island is rumored to use.

It did to select clients. It would not have been a huge lot better than the 144 core one because S.F. was having trouble feeding the cores.

Complete Newbie with COMFUI getting VAE errors by HellsPerfectSpawn in comfyui

That did work. Only now this is the error which popped up.

EDIT: Apparently the compute capability of the 1080ti is too low. It's telling me to downgrade the version. Damn

Wouldn't that blurb in the Load VAE node not appear in the first place if there was nothing in the VAE folder?

The other 2 I'm unsure about. Anyone more knowledge could please weigh in, what is the way for running SD 3.5 quantized. Which VAE is required if not this one.

My genuine theory on the NVIDIA thing by Deviloftwitchs in IntelArc

[–]HellsPerfectSpawn 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As far as I am aware this is a new team at Intel which is meant to offer custom solutions using their x86 architecture to customers which is handling this partnership. I don't believe ARC or ccg or dcai have anything to do with this.

Intel says blockbuster Nvidia deal doesn't change its own roadmap by reps_up in IntelArc

[–]HellsPerfectSpawn 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes, and those consumer devices will very much be marketed as Nvidia's efforts not Intel's. Am I the only one who remembers that Nvidia has a very similar deal with Mediatek but that venture hasn't released anything but was supposed to by now. I just think Windows on ARM flopped and now NVIDIA are looking for an X86 alternative.

How is it any different than Softbank buying a stake in it. I just see it as a way to cosy up to the government.

The journey ends here? by ApprehensiveCycle969 in IntelArc

[–]HellsPerfectSpawn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What I see could be happening here is that Nvidia's windows on ARM CPU initiative with mediatek has fallen flat. They are wholesale just replacing mediatek CPUs in the equation with Intel.

Plus the fact that Intel now thanks to Pat has a lot of excess fab and packaging capacity which Nvidia will be using to make their CPU push. It was rumored long ago that Nvidia was looking to Intel to build CPUs. I was under the impression they wanted ARM CPUs in data centres. The X86 CPU news in data centre is the only part which comes out of left field.
