Does Intel qualify? They seem busy making GPUs for midrange insignificant gaming builds, while all their AI offerings are hopeless.

As someone who owns an insignificant midrange gaming build and has been irritated at the inflation of GPU prices with crypto and now genAI, I’m glad someone is.

Not everyone is willing to pay for 4K, 120 Hz, and quality raytracing. There is a market for less than premium experiences. I wanted some marginal CUDA for Blender, so I got a 3060. This experience is anything but insignificant to me.

How is it insignificant. Intel GPUs are the most exciting thing that has happened in GPUs the last 5-10 years imo.

  Only for a small group of people -- i.e. users look for low-mid end gaming. Most people would say H100 is easily more exciting than all released Intel GPUs combined.

    Most people who know about GPUs don't know even know what an H100 is. It's a data center GPU who almost no one will ever even touch, see or hear for their entire life, working on something that currently has lower impact then gaming. I'm not going to buy an intel GPU. But just to lay some pressure on the evil overlord that is Nvidia is very exciting.

Virtually nobody was buying Intel GPUs: https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/gpus/discrete-gpu-sales-increase-as-intels-share-drops-to-0 https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/gpus/discrete-gpu... Looks like their latest GPU is selling out. Hope they actually move the market a little bit and iterate on this.

They're still trying. I mean, not succeeding, but they're making some sort of effort. (On which note... If anyone's figured out how to run ollama/llamafile/... on any of the apparently numerous libraries that supposedly accelerate AI on Intel hardware please share any hints because supposedly I've got the hardware but I can't make sense of any of the docs...)
