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.
He normalized it to system power because when set at the same SoC power the AMD system was using more power. While there's contentions regarding the methodology, if it was say in a handheld system, it would make sense.
Different process, different power limits. How competitive it is depends on the v/f curves, bandwidth, pricing and so on relative to the competition.
True, but Alchemist is N6, so still a full node advancement. And the current rumors are while the A770 is 225W, the peak B version might go to 300W. With clocks said to be solidly in the 3GHz range, the performance potential is there.

Assuming the two platforms are as efficient, yeah that would be a good test for whole system efficiency for a handheld. It's just a bad way of judging Xe relative to RDNA. The platforms might be iso power but the SOCs aren't, and even from there the GPUs on the SOCs will be using a portion of SOC power. Take the performance from that kind of test and trying to scale it to what a discrete GPU might look like is going to be like throwing darts at a wall, other than it looks better than Meteor Lake. Even that's complicated by Redwood Cove vs Lion Cove though.

MLID is talking about G31 not making Q1 of next year, which is one of those times when he gets it right, as people on reddit has been talking about Q2 for G31 many months now.
@igor_kavinski Intel is simply not ready with G31 that's why.

2.8GHz clocks even with 20% difference in render units should still result in 50% performance, based on how Lunarlake does. Don't know why the talks are saying the performance is on 4060 non-ti level. I think it should reach 3060 ti/6700XT level at least.

And that's on 1080p, where Alchemist is disadvantaged.

If the timeframe for Battlemage is really B580 in December with 4060 performance and G31 die in middle of next year, it greatly increases the chances of them cancelling Celestial dGPU.

If Battlemage sold well, they would have changed their plans, but it's not really looking good based on the specs. The prices are already so low they don't have much to maneuver around either.

I don't get this why can't Intel launch all 2 dies at the same time? Unlike others Intel needs to go all out not stagger releases

If they had a 12GB card that was competitive with the 4060, that would have been a huge hit with prebuilts this holiday season. The 4060 is the default standard, but any 12GB Cardin that same envelope would have gotten a lot enthusiast “advice giver” support. At this point, they are likely still going to have a shot at next fall’s version of the $700 gaming PC, I suppose. It seems like AMD might be primed and aimed at that segment this time next year though, both competing for the crumbs Nvidia leaves in their wake.

The time to get a competitive card out for reception is yesterday. Next best day is today, and we then tomorrow. Further out it’ll get squashed by AMD news and then obliterated by Nvidia news. 🤷‍♂️

Because, silicon is hard, and if you compare to a building, Intel has been building 2-3 story ones, while AMD/Nvidia has been making skyscrapers. Now Intel has to figure out how to get there. It is not copy and paste making bigger chips, just as skyscrapers aren't 3 story buildings multiplied and stacked on top of each other.

Matrox failed with their Parhelia. Originally it was rumored to be a 300MHz part, nearly 50% faster than the actual 220MHz. At 300MHz, it would have been competitive.

ATI managed to do it with the R300, clocking high while having a much bigger die. But they could have failed. 8 pipeline part wouldn't have been leadership if it came with 25% lower clocks.

Maybe G31 needed extra time to get those 3GHz+ clocks, or maybe it's yield at that frequency, or a combo of both. The bigger die must be justified with proportional performance improvement.

I agree but I'm worried if they delay past december then it will compete with RDNA4

That's the thing. Battlemage is so close to release it's showing it on retail sites, yet they haven't even talked about it. So they feel bad about something. The only other alternative is that it's really good and kept it hushed like Core 2, but what are the chances of that for Battlemage?

Little better performance than a 2-year old Alchemist would explain why they are so quiet.

BMG GB Opencl benchmark leak


B580 initial result is worse than A580

The OpenCL score of 78,743 points is clearly not high enough to be considered final. In fact, it is lower than the Arc A580, which is expected to be a slower card.

Intel(R) Arc(TM) A580 Graphics89699
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Super with Max-Q Design89538
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 306088994

wow, thats disappointing. wonder why Apple kept the same media engines for 4 ***** years if its not class leading
One thing the graph is not showing is power usage. It may well be the case that for Apple it was a trade off and they erred on the side of efficiency.

Would be really interesting to see how much power the four players invest to reach the given quality.

Most of the market is still under the $500 mark, so I think Intel will do fine.

The only real loser will be AMD. They are lacking in both performance/watt and performance/$.

NVIDIA is grabbing the enthusiast segment and Intel is grabbing the budget segment.

AMD don't have feature parity as well no XMX Upscaling apparently.Intel Arc dGPU Uses the highest quality kernels and the reviewer who tests XeSS tests a lower quality kernel and on Nvidia GPU while they compare it to XeSS on Nvidia HW btw they use DLSS for comparison so it is just biasing at that point for comparison
