If it's only coming in a year and a half, its relative performance compared to other chips may not be all that great.

It doesn't look like Intel will be sleeping all that time. They're becoming quite aggressive with their APUs' release schedule, with Arrow Lake H coming to handhelds and Panther Lake coming this year still.

Medusa will be facing Nova Lake which sounds like an absolute beast.
If it is not TSMC then it will be meh

I don't remember a successful GPU from non-TSMC fab yet

RTX 30 series was meh. It was successful because of RT / DLSS etc.

It was both a decent jump in performance and perf/$. What more could you ask , especially in the modern era?

These aren't the good old days when Moore's law consistently delivered double the transistors essentially for free, with each new full node . Now the price of transistors is pretty stagnant.

I remember people being decently happy with RTX 30, theoretically, because a crypto mining crunch happened again, and drove up prices, that if it wasn't for that it would have been a decent release.

Perf/fake MSRP $
Unlike the current situation, there were tonnes and tonnes of cards sold at the actual MSRP or slightly above. They just didn't all go to gamers; they went to miners or bots who then sold to miners. Doesn't make the MSRP fake or have any affect on the process.

Things change.





Up until EUV Intel used to perform so well in the fab department, people would say they were using alien tech.


Besides, we're in dire need of competition in the fab business. And the dGPU business, and the high-performance SoC business.

Well, tbh, it's the main reason I'm looking into getting one atm.
Strix Halo also has the advantage of being able to run a draft model in speculative decoding mode with an egpu via thunderbolt/usb4. Apple silicon can't do that from what I understand since no discrete gpu's are available for Apple silicon.

Speculative decoding gives inferencing a nice boost to token generation tasks like coding since the tokens tends to be more predictable than creative writing tasks.

Also we can see how memory bandwidth affects rendering. If my hunch is right Strix Halo should have higher single thread than Strix Point.
