Yes absolutely, but the markup on VRAM is already insane. We’re not talking about a huge price difference here. Even if their $600 card now costs $670, they’d get a lot of sales just by setting themselves apart from NVIDIA, especially for those interested in running AI models locally. I know plenty of people buying Macs now just cause of AI spending $3000+ or more. NVIDIA & AMD have a duopoly though, so if one says they’re not going to do something then the other doesn’t have a strong incentive to either.
if you’re interested in running local AI models, that market should be looking at the strix halo desktops. that was basically 80% of the marketing framework did for its framework desktop.

Nothingburger, actual news would be it ONLY works on UEFI.
Hasn’t that been the case for a while now? The RX5700 I bought in like 2019 only worked in UEFI systems.
Is there even a board with a modern PCI port with a non-UEFI BIOS?
Maybe. What is the cutoff?
So?
Say it with me, “UEFI isn’t inherently bad.” I’m more pissed that they are skimping out on the VRAM.
would you have prefered they paid more for bleeding edge 3gb gddr stacks and put 24gb when only a subset would actually need it?
I’d prefer they offered it as an overpriced premium SKU for those of us who can’t say no to 4k.

Jeff Geerling would like to have a word with you.
Maybe it’s time for arm boards to actually support their trash. UEFI itself supports arm.
