The AMD Ryzen AI Z2 Extreme SoC recently made its debut with the launch of the ASUS ROG Xbox Ally X. While AMD has already proven the mettle of its Ryzen Z Series APU, leaked benchmarks of Intel…
Intel’s implementation is still not a mature offering. If AMD releases a generation of cards that has any compatibility issues compared to nvidia they would get slaughtered, and that’s what intel did.
I really hope they don’t drop GPUs and they continue to refine them, because we need a true competitor.
My B580 runs all games I’ve been throwing at it just fine at smooth framerates and stability. As long as you don’t care about ray tracing and resolutions above 1080p. I’d say it’s perfectly mature for an entry level gaming GPU.
Although I admit I bought it only because my old GPU died and I needed something ASAP but didn’t want to pay a price that felt like highway robbery. I am still hoping for a reasonable mid-range GPU to eventually become available, even if it is a used one, just so I can upgrade to a 144K display and maintain smooth framerates.
My guess is that Intel GPUs going away completely is very unlikely. The reasoning being that they will need GPU IP for laptops and desktop iGPUs. Also they need cards for data center applications. I think the more likely risk is they scale back to only a couple consumer dedicated cards targeting a price they can sell in large numbers. So they don’t increase competition, but fill a gap at the low end that AMD and Nvidia mostly ignore. Not the worst thing, but I think we all want them to have more success than that.
