We need a pat body pillow 😂🤣I have no idea why Intel wants to debut its nextgen gpu with a midrange part. Give it to the OEMs dang it! Enthusiasts want a halo part. Where is the B980???
I wonder how much it costs to put an image of Pat on a pillow cover. At least then I can punch the pillow everyday and hope it has some kind of voodoo effect on him and he realizes that he is making someone very. very mad.
Horrible idea. Some people may then use it for sleeping and then Pat will get reverse Voodoo effectWe need a pat body pillow 😂🤣
You know there's no true halo part on Battlemage.I have no idea why Intel wants to debut its nextgen gpu with a midrange part. Give it to the OEMs dang it! Enthusiasts want a halo part. Where is the B980???
Not gonna happen at that price it would be middle of 200-240 range
this product lives or dies by price. Hopefully it’s $199
I don't mind it. It's different but seems predictable enough.Can we just take a moment to point out what a terrible naming scheme Intel has settled on here?
When I see a B580 I automatically assume it's a lesser model to the A580, since the public school system has taught me A>B>C etc.
I feel like Intel is making life difficult for itself just for the sake of being different.
That doesn't seem right. I think it's X>B>A, or maybe Z>H>B.Can we just take a moment to point out what a terrible naming scheme Intel has settled on here?

Especially if it is less bar dependent, which wouldn’t take muchIt'll be fine for PCIe 4.0 boards
x8 is fine even on v3. It's x4 that's a problem.
PCIe 5.0 x8 is one step forward for people on Z690/X670 mobos but two steps backward for anyone stuck with v4 or worse v3.
Yeah TPU's PCIe scaling on the 4090 showed it getting 94% @ 1080/1440 and 92% @ 4k of full performance even at 2.0 x16 / 3.0 x6 bandwidth, and B580 isn't going to come that close to 4090 performance. That's also manually clocking down the PCIe bandwidth on a 5800X system, if you're actually forced to run PCIe 3.0 because of your CPU/MB you're probably losing more to a CPU bottleneck than PCIe bandwidth. It's that next step down to 1.1 x16 / 2.0 x8 / 3.0 x4 that really goes off the rails.x8 is fine even on v3. It's x4 that's a problem.
Yes Battlemage has a chance to be really good considering LNL but it is better to wait but it is a solid productivity card in the end as wellView attachment 112149

Arc 140V Xe2 iGPU is awesome.
Doesn't this mean that Battlemage discrete GPUs will be good too?
Different process, different power limits. How competitive it is depends on the v/f curves, bandwidth, pricing and so on relative to the competition.Doesn't this mean that Battlemage discrete GPUs will be good too?
The Strix Point SOC in those games is running with a way lower power limit. The GPU is running at less than half the frequency of the Xe GPU in CS2, it's hard to make any real comparison off that with them so far apart.Arc 140V Xe2 iGPU is awesome.
