Comment on Intel Arc B580 'Battlemage' GPU announced - 1440p Ultra gaming for $249
inclementimmigrant@lemmy.world 2 weeks agoYeah, very glad that Intel has started in the market.
It’s very refreshing to see a company release a reasonable, though that term has been skewed so much over the years, budget cpu that doesn’t completely suck and actually tries to run current green games.

for now, anyway. nobody knows if the discrete gpu division will survive the leadership shakeup and new ceo (when they find one)

It would be incredibly stupid for Intel to abandon the dGPU market after spending all this money on it. As long as Battlemage turns out alright (basically it’s only goal) I doubt it will go away.
They cut the die size nearly in half so they’re no longer blowing a fuck ton of money on a $200 GPU. As long as utilization of the silicon goes up it should be fine.

Apparently Intel is replacing Gelsinger because his plan to turn the company’s fortunes around are taking too long. My guess is the new CEO will likely sell off major parts of the company and I doubt the dGPU division will be kept
