alt Hacker News> To this day I do not get why Intel doesn't just offer massive memory options for their cards.
They seem to? Intel Arc is the cheapest option by far for a discrete card with 32GB VRAM.

That’s not massive, though. Make it 96GB at $2,000 (ok, probably impossible right now, but they could have before the surge in prices) and you’ll see developers work really hard to make AI tooling work for their cards, CUDA be damned. The same goes for AMD.
It’s like they both want to rely on market segmentation for VRAM too but fail to realize that it’s their only potential inroad right now.

Missed a zero here.
Needs 320 GB Vram
They took longer than everyone expected and then shortly after release they made announcements that made people worry that Intel might kill the project the way they tend to kill GPU projects.
(I still kinda want to get one tho.)
