News Intel GPUs - Falcon Shores cancelled

[Aapje]

It means they could have had 2 and sold more than 2 or 1,000s and sold more than that. I'd lean into <100 total stock though & I suspect a fair few are being bought for display/collection or for the memes.

At that quantity, even just the reviewers could buy up that stock (after all, Intel didn't supply review samples so far, with the early reviewers importing them from China at very high cost).

Off to a good start? What does high demand on Newegg mean, anyway? 100 units sold? Or all available stock sold even if it was 5 units?

Judging by forums and Reddit, there are legions of Intel customers loyal enough to plop down money to support the effort. Personally, I am looking forward to reading the posts where they do their best to put perfume on the pig.

I think they are applying that to any GPU that sells out. They do not apply it to CPUs that are sold out. For instance, almost every single Ryzen CPU is sold out right now, but it does not get this label.

 

[Aapje]

I even think that you could scalp this GPU right now. You can probably make a nice profit by buying it for this price and reselling it on eBay.

- This feels like deja vu of all the "Selling Fast or No Stock" arguments we had at the start of this every gen when we're still in the paper launch phase.

Why was Fortnite missing from that chart? And Minecraft?

 

[Tup3x]

So it can run Crysis.

No one here pre-ordered one? I am disappoint. I was hoping to see posts about it already.

AMD & NVIDIA Partners Ready To Offer More Brutal Price Cuts On GPUs In September, Current Cuts Not Moving Inventory As Expected

Yes! The brutal the better!

Not saying much since non optimized RX 470/480/570/580 gets low as 20MH/s without optimization but gets over 30 after.

Doesn't matter because Eth PoS is planned for sometime between the 10th and 20th of next month.

@VirtualLarry Not completely broke but not going to prioritize it. Even $100 is frivolous spending for me.

A new deep drive on XeSS.

Very interesting, this also has some 3Dmark Raytracing test footage (with XeSS on and off) .

The A770 gets around 28.97 FPS average which is about 2080 Ti performance. So the RT hardware really is quite decent, if true

 

[igor_kavinski]

Good stuff. They got the 3DMARK guys to add support for XeSS, as well as Ghostwire Tokyo and Shadow of Tomb Raider. $400 for A770 would be cool but the 16GB RAM could force them to ask $500 for it.

Has it been confirmed by some reputable entity, that Intel is not currently "optimizing" for 3DMark? Because I would place little value on their numbers otherwise. I won't hold the smeared image quality or choppiness I observed with SS against them, due to 1080p Youtube video compression, and other potential variables. With it off, you see screen tearing, with it on, you see a hard chop instead.

Doesn't everyone optimize for 3DMark?

Costco has a laptop with an A370 inside. Have I missed something? I have heard nothing about the A370.

Judging by forums and Reddit, there are legions of Intel customers loyal enough to plop down money to support the effort. Personally, I am looking forward to reading the posts where they do their best to put perfume on the pig.

I am not a loyal customer (no Intel CPUs in my household), but I may purchase the top model just to own a small piece of history, and also to play with.
