We'll have to wait for first-party benchmarks, but they seem decent so far. A 4060 equivalent $200-$250 isn't bad at all. for I'm curious if we'll get a B750 or B770 and how they'll perform. At the very least, it's nice to have some decent BUDGET cards now. The ~$200 segment has been totally dead for years. I have a feeling Intel is losing a fair chunk of $ on each card though, just to enter the market.

I'd love to see their GPGPU software support under Linux.

    Lots of interesting things packaged into OneAPI for developers to check out: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/developer/tools/oneapi/overview.html https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/developer/tools/onea... I quite enjoyed using the CUDA to OneAPI migration tool. Was a bit dodgy at times, but for the most part helped me move a lot of stuff out of the NVIDIA walled garden.

I don't know the numbers but the manufacture of the chip and the cards can't be that expensive...the design was probably much more expensive. Hopefully they are at least breaking even but hopefully making money. Nobody goes into business to lose money. Shareholders would be pissed!

  >Nobody goes into business to lose money. Shareholders would be pissed! Uh...yes they do? I mean, look at all the VC startups these days like Uber/Doordash/Rivian/WeWork/Carvana/etc. Some of those have been bleeding hundreds of millions per quarter for years and keep getting more pumped in over and over. But even when it's not for insane VC reasons, companies burn money to get market share all the time. It's a textbook strategy. They just don't do it forever. Eventually, the shareholders can get impatient and decide to bail on the idea.
