Agreed!but what I can observe gives me a very slight Elizabeth Holmes vibe.
They say if you deliver stuff too quickly, everyone will think it wasn't that hard. But if you mix it up with delays and some drama, you will be given an award.
That's not Apple's first GPU though. While Apple did use Imagination's PowerVR tech initially, the design deviated more and more over time to the point that Apple thought it could just stop paying Imagination license fees for it (2017 was when Imagination was warned the payment of fees would stop within two years, so the graphics tech in new silicon was likely independent already at that point). Metal (starting in 2014) on the software side ensured Apple has the same control over graphics as it already had in all other hardware areas. In the end M1 is little more than scaling up the hardware already proven in mobile hardware across the previous years. The actual big deal about Apple Silicon was the smooth transition of macOS and its software to ARM making good use of the new hardware.Apple managed to make a fairly confident GPU for their M1 chips.
I don't even get why they've struggled so badly. A GPU is by no means trivial to design, but Apple managed to make a fairly confident GPU for their M1 chips. It doesn't run DX12 so it's difficult to compare it directly against AMD and NVidia, but it does show that it's possible for another company to design a product that can compete well enough.
that's not remotely an accurate reflection.
Funny how AMD and NV GPU's became far more like TBDR's as pixel complexity increased.
Sometimes its about the right technology at the right time , TBDR local storage cost was to high back in the day. Now large data movement is way to expensive.
The countless hours of playing 3Dmark, ah the memories...
It's a great gpu if you like running synthetic benchmarks.
His actual contributions are shrouded in mystery. Do you have some source on what he has actually done for Intel? He honestly seems more like a PR person than a technical person. He keeps uttering buzzwords without going into anything too technical. Right now, he's all about the metaverse and he's gonna keep harping on it until the hype dies and then he will start on the next big thing.@igor_kavinski I think I read somewhere that Raja got promoted because he created the Intel dGPU lineup. He convinced that they should scale their lineup and enter the dGPU market.
I feel sad that the 3Dmark easter egg game was just a vehicle that could be driven around without anything else to do. Don't know why they don't add some gameplay to their demos so they escape the definition of being simply a synthetic 3D workload.The countless hours of playing 3Dmark, ah the memories...
Video cards as NFTs bought for Ethereum.You know if intel could hire Chris Roberts from Cloud Gaming, they could milk the vaporware GPU card for another 5 yrs i bet.
They could sell virtual videocards even, on limited basis. You wouldn't have the real thing, but you could be proud you owned a virtual one for the price of a real videocard.
Raja / Bali / Whatever he wants to go by, should hire him to promote the videocard.
Imagine the crowd funding they could get, and not release a product on any real time frame.

Here's an idea, maybe Intel is "optimizing" their Arc Alchemist card's drivers for "professional" applications, and that's easier than getting a multitude of poorly-written games working.
In this test there is a power test using the Intel Fan Tuning Tool. It's 65W package power and 65C in Furmark, so I guess this is more accurate than the GPUz numbers.
Considering how long it took AMD to fix their OpenGL driver... I just hope it doesn't take Intel as long.

I could not watch this, this guy gone over the top with his hate, is he insane, blaming intel for microsoft update downloading older driver over the new one from intel and blaming it on intel???????? and he talk 5min about thatThis will take some time, software still not finished.

Pure hyped hater is he now
However, as DrMrLordX pointed out Intel are the ones who submitted the drivers to Intel in the first place. If the drivers are in such a mess and in so much flux that Microsoft Update cannot keep up, who is entirely to blame for this?I could not watch this, this guy gone over the top with his hate, is he insane, blaming intel for microsoft update downloading older driver over the new one from intel and blaming it on intel???????? and he talk 5min about that

On the contrary, he seems to be bending over backwards to be nice. And yes Intel is to blame for MS not having the correct drivers scheduled for download, whom do you think submits drivers to MS in the first place?
