It looks like, if one can afford it, the R9700 is worth the extra money.
I read that Intel is getting out of the dGPU space, but then again, their iGPUs are really getting good. I can't understand why they'd give up the space when the AI market is so insane.
I hope not. They’ve been flip flopping too much and the market needs more dGPU competition.
The team working on drivers is doing a good job playing catch up and I hope intel will continue to invest in cards that focus on graphics workloads and not just on AI inference.
Exiting dGPU for gaming, but staying in the LLM world.
Rumors of their exit from dGPU predate Battlemage. So I wouldn't put a ton of credence to them. But Intel's is quite talented at snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.
