Intel Battlemage, Celestial GPUs Are Booked in at TSMC: Report
-
“Most positively, the driver team has been beating expectations with the rate and quality of updates over recent months. “
Pleeeasse…
So we do now give kudos to a multi billion dollar company.. that released a highly dysfunctional and broken product and is now fixing their mutiple own fk ups? Something that should have beeen actually a given ???
Come on! I know what you mean, but the way you say it sounds just deliberately wrong.
I highly disagree with your statement on this one, but I can at least agree to the rest of what you said.People expected the driver team to fail and quit. So they are shattering expectations. The bar is lower for sure though.

We do it all the time but your not wrong…

The bar wasn’t just lower, it was buried under six feet of fud. Its amazing Intel managed to dig the danged thing up and get their card functional at all. I honestly expected Intel to already have killed the project at this point. Much to my delight they haven’t as we are in desperate need of more competition in the GPU space. The question is will Intel get competitive or fold first?

All Intel needs to do is deliver a working midrange GPU on launch day and they’ll sell a ton of them.

The A750/770 are still punching a long way below expectations in most games going by FP32 performance. I hope future drivers will consistently unlock more of that seemingly often under-tapped potential.

The crypto-craze days are gone. AMD and Nvidia have working GPUs gathering dust on store shelves and warehouses right now with sales at 20+ years lows. Having products on the market isn’t enough anymore, they also need to be priced low enough for normal gamers to actually want to buy them. Intel also bears the additional burden of new-kid-on-the-block status and that will take 2-3 technically and marketably successful generations to achieve. If it tries to sell almost exactly the same performance at almost exactly the same price as AMD or Nvidia, it will fail.

I think the the fact that the GPUs will be produced at TSMC reduces the impact of Intel entering the market for the consumer. It means that all three competitors are going to have the same base tech and the same base costs. TSMC will be taking a large cut out of all three.
I believed adding Intel’s manufacturing weight to the GPU market supply would be very beneficial. It also made more sense for continuity with it’s iGPUs.

Since Meteor Lake and beyond will use IGP tiles, the IGP tiles can be made at the same place as their monolithic dGPU counterparts. No continuity issues there.

I’m pretty concerned about Intel’s GPU division, Q3 2024 would put it just in front of RTX 5000 and RX 8000 series, and unless Intel could leapfrog Nvidia and AMD they’re going after RTX 4000.
Furthermore if their previous leaked “target of <225 watts” holds true, and assuming an enormous jump in efficiency I think they’re going to land somewhere around 3080/4070Ti levels of performance, and competing with a later generation at the same time.

I wouldn’t be concerned at all about that as Intel is likely still two generations away from getting their drivers coming fully up to par and won’t be considered a credible competitor until then no matter how good the hardware may hypothetically be on paper.
Right now, the A750 barely competes with AMD and Nvidia GPUs that have half as much raw compute performance with a few games faring drastically worse. Regardless of how much Intel’s drivers may have improved since launch, they still have a very long way to go.
