Current Arc GPUs silicon is extremely unimpressive. They're ~400mm^2 dies with 256 bit busses, but they're only performance competitive with GPUs that are around half their size (3060/6600xt, and the 6600xt only has a 128bit bus). Similar sized GPUs from AMD or Nvidia are around 50% faster.

Yeah, no shit they're unimpressive. But how many other new GPU companies do you see entering the ring to challenge those two in an impressive way? <crickets chirping>
- talldayo 2y ago> Similar sized GPUs from AMD or Nvidia are around 50% faster. Name just one that's not 50% more expensive than an Arc A770, though. I don't own an Intel GPU and have no intention of buying one, but if you're ignoring everything besides raw-performance then you're missing the point. This was an excellent first-showing for Intel, and their 16gb budget card hit the market right when everyone was pissing and moaning about low VRAM. It's a miracle they're not worse really.
