I do hope this has a price point that makes it somewhat competitive with a Mac! Consumers have had nearly no choices available for mem capacity, and 20 channels of lpddr5 is one way to get that capacity! Go Intel!
This is almost twice better than RTX 5090. This GPU will not be prefill constrained, I feel.
But I am surprised that they were able to pack so much flops into 300W.
I'm not. When you're doing inference you typically reduce power limits anyway if you're optimizing for efficiency. Even if you don't, it doesn't spike to the max of the card.
My 3090 I power it down to 175W or so for single-digit reductions in performance for like, 60% of the wattage, something like that.
Kind of disappointed that Intel is (probably) not going to release consumer class GPUs. Intel's driver stack was seriously getting mature—both on Linux and Windows. It's always nice to have a third option available.
