Case:

Lian Li PC V600, left side mount, released in 2006, I acquired it in 2015 from PC Recycle in sodo Seattle.

I had to track down a new foot, one had been missing since I acquired the case (ebay)

Mods:These are the case mods I did personally

Cut a hole for the cpu mounts in the Motherboard mount plate as this case was designed for older hardware 

Cut two 120mm blowholes and added aluminum covers (Dremel)

Cut Front and rear windows into side panels (Dremel Max)

Moved PSU from vertical placement in the lower right side of the case in front of the CPU  to horizontal placement in the top left in old drive bays. 

The PSU bracket had to be cut to show the OLED on the side. 

Modded the side panel rail slide to accommodate the PSU, I used the original aluminum stand the psu was on, cut in half and epoxied with JB weld. 

Changed and moved Power/ Reset switch to the back of the case, shortened and spliced the cable

I cut and bent my own 14mm acrylic tubes (hobby miter, heat gun). 

Cut and made two way mirror for the front panel

Plastic "truss" is both functional and aesthetic. It came from a Gunpla accessory kit and has two cables passing through it and it acts as the GPU support. I could only get red and had to paint it.

Notice that some logos are missing/ covered, I dislike having a case as an advertisement. The Rog eye on the PSU is mostly covered but iykyk, most of the word "Intel" on the ARC GPU, Two of the Thermaltake logos on the fan edges, the Paint on the Thermaltake Mx2 Ultra and Maxsun terminator heatsink. (I will eventually cover the visible SSD with a heat sink, cover the fan info on the rear and work a cover for the word "dominator"). the one logo explicitly unchanged is the LianLi case badge, if I think of a perfect replacement, maybe then.

Mod I did not do:

I did NOT shorten and sleeve my own cables, I used cable-mod.com. I am not confident in my ability to do this.

BAR:

"Bar Tiny" Re-ment sets from Japan, 17 sets involved. 

 I customized the color of the bar and chairs and shortened one table for the mezzanine. The whole bar, minus barback- is on a removable 7 inch piece of black acrylic for cleaning.

Jill Stingray Nendoroid

Jils Cat, it sleeps on the GPU

Jill Stool: Jill is glued to a cute doll stool to see over the bar

Jill Accessories non-Nendoroid: cellphone, purse, coat (ebay)

Dorothy Haze Nendoroid

will be added on release.

Bar Back:I made this myself

Black acrylic sheet, and frosted acrylic rods.

Doll Light power kit: 8 Led lights, 4 incandescent lights

USB Doll light power strip

Other Bar Accessories:

Overhead Hanging farmhouse light

trash, mop, broom, pan, mop bucket, 

2 blue fuzzy chairs 

Miniature plants

Miniature Microphone

Mini bottle Dom Perignon, an xmas gift from my friend nemo, it's

 on the top shelf 

Problems and changes:

1. ARGB, pretty pretty pain in the ass. 4 pieces of software........

2. The water loop was changed extensively as hardware came in and space limitations were discovered. The biggest change is that I originally planned to have one radiator on the front of the case, the tubes running over Jills head and to light the tubes as lighting for the bar, to do this the fan would have been in the case proper pushing the whole bar to far into the mobo, it didn't work, so the loop was moved to the top of the case and caused me to have one complex bent tube 

 Second, I had planned the loop to use one sideport on the distro, but space limitation moved both ports to the top causing the complex fittings setup in that corner.   

3. The MOBO, sigh. This has been clearly the most challenging choice I made in this build, I really wanted it to work perfectly too, but I rolled those dice because: Aesthetic+function, the board I wanted (https://en.colorful.cn/en/home/product?mid=84&id=400d19bc-5655-49e1-b391-df00b60935ef) was to great a risk for the cost. This was a silver medal. 

I generally dislike the design options I had in the Z790 series of the big board makers (I  HATE big logos), especially the full ATX, there was one M that interested me, I should have picked it . This board has potential, but the BIOS is underdeveloped and compatibility has been problematic, I had to do a tricky outdated style BIOS update right from the box, and have had to reset the cmos a couple times. It skips BIOS on general boot and though stable, it will have to be addressed eventually, it doesn't have a proper sleep because of some issue between uefi & legacy. It may end up replaced, which will require a full build teardown.

the Turbo fan built into the board doesn't seem to function

Alos, the two argb connections on the mobo dont work, or I can't get them to recognize anything, necessitating the Coolermaster controller for the PSU and Distro. it is shoved behind the distro along with a Noctua 40mm

Dominate the Battlefield: Intel Battlemage GPUs Revealed

Intel Arc GPU

After releasing its first-generation Arc Alchemist GPUs in 2022, Intel now seems to be on a two-year cadence, as seen by the appearance of the Battlemage in a shipping manifest. This suggests that Battlemage GPUs are being supplied to Intel’s partners for testing, as it’s the first time they’ve seen any proof of them existing in the real world. Intel is probably getting ready for a launch later this year given the timing of this.

Two Battlemage GPUs are being shipped by Intel to its partners, per a recently discovered shipment manifest that was published on X. The GPUs’ designations, G10 and G21, suggest Intel is taking a similar approach as Alchemist, offering one SKU that is more or less high-end for “mainstream” gamers and one that is less expensive.

Intel Arc Graphics Cards

As you may remember, Intel had previously announced plans to launch four GPUs in the Alchemist family:

Intel Arc A380

The A380, A580, A750, and A770. However, only the latter two were officially announced. They anticipate that the A750 and A770, which Intel most likely delivers at launch for midrange gamers, will be replaced by the G10.

They’ve never heard of cards being “in the wild,” but two Battlemage GPUs have shown up in the Si Soft benchmark database before. The fact that both of those cards have 12GB of VRAM stood out as particularly noteworthy. This suggests that Intel increased their base-level allowance from 8GB, which is a wise decision in 2024. As stated by Intel’s CEO earlier this year, Battlemage was “in the labs” in January.

Intel Arc A770

A previously released roadmap from Intel indicates that the G10 is a 150W component and the G21 is 225W. It is anticipated that Intel will reveal notable improvements in Battlemage’s AI capabilities, greater upscaling performance, and ray tracing performance. As 225W GPUs were the previous A750 and A770, it seems Battlemage will follow the script when it comes to its efficiency goals. The business has previously declared that it wishes to aim for this “sweet spot” in terms of power consumption, wherein one PCIe power cable is needed rather than two (or three).

While the industry as a whole is anxious to see how competitive Intel will be with its second bite at the apple, gamers aren’t exactly waiting impatiently for Intel to introduce its GPUs like they do with Nvidia or AMD’s next-gen. Even if the company’s Alchemist GPUs were hard to suggest when they first came out, significant performance advancements have been made possible by the company’s drivers.

The Intel Battlemage G10 and G21 next-generation discrete GPUs, which have been observed in shipment manifests, are anticipated to tackle entry into the mid-range market. They already know from the horse’s mouth that Intel is working on its next generation of discrete graphics processors, which it has revealed are being code-named Battlemage. The company is developing at least two graphics processing units, according to shipping excerpts.

Intel Battlemage GPUs

The shipping manifest fragments reveal that Intel is working on several GPUs specifically for the Battlemage G10 and G21 versions. The newest versions in Intel’s graphics processor lineup include the ACM-G11, an entry-level graphics processor, and the ACM-G10, a midrange market positioning and higher-end silicon graphics processor. As a result, the names Battlemage-G10 and Battlemage-G21, which are aimed at entry-level PCs and bigger chips, respectively, match the present names for Intel’s Arc graphics processors. Both stand a strong chance of making their list of the best graphics cards if they deliver acceptable levels of performance.

The Battlemage-G10 and Battlemage-G21 are being shipped for research and development, as stated in the shipping manifest (which makes sense considering these devices’ current status). The G21 GPU is currently in the pre-qualification (pre-QS) stage of semiconductor development; the G10’s current status is unknown.

Pre-qualification silicon is used to assess a chip’s performance, reliability, and functionality. Pre-QS silicon is typically not suitable for mass production. However, if the silicon device is functional and meets the necessary performance, power, and yield requirements, mass production of the device could be feasible. For example, AMD’s Navi 31 GPU, if it meets the developer’s objectives, is mass-produced in its A0 silicon phase.

They rarely get to cover Intel’s developments with its next-generation graphics cards, but they frequently cover Nvidia’s, as they did recently with the GeForce RTX 50-series graphics processors, which should appear on their list of the best graphics cards based on industry leaks.

This generation, Nvidia seems to be leading the laptop discrete GPU market, but Battlemage, with Intel’s ties to OEMs and PC manufacturers, might give the green team some serious competition in the next round. According to the cargo manifest, there will be intense competition among AMD’s RDNA 4, Intel’s Battlemage, and Nvidia’s Blackwell in the forthcoming desktop discrete GPU market.

Qualities:

Targeting Entry-Level and Mid-Range: The ACM-G11 and ACM-G10, the successors to the existing Intel Arc Alchemist series, are probably meant for gamers on a tight budget or seeking good performance in games that aren’t AAA.

Better Architecture: Compared to the Xe-HPG architecture found in Intel’s existing Arc GPUs, readers can anticipate an upgrade in this next-generation design. Better performance per watt and even new features could result from this.

Emphasis on Power Efficiency: These GPUs may place equal emphasis on efficiency and performance because power consumption is a significant element in laptops and tiny form factor PCs.

Potential specifications (derived from the existing Intel Arc lineup and leaks):

Production Process: TSMC 6nm (or, if research continues, a more sophisticated node) Unknown is the core configuration. Possibly less cores than Battlemage models at higher levels (should any exist).

Memory: GDDR6 is most likely used, yet its bandwidth and capacity are unclear. Power Consumption: Designed to use less power than GPUs with higher specifications.

FAQS

What are the Battlemage G10 and G21 GPUs?

Intel is developing the Battlemage G10 and G21, next-generation GPUs that should provide notable gains in capabilities and performance over their predecessors.

What markets or segments are these GPUs targeting?

Targeting a wide range of industries, including professional graphics, gaming, and data centres, the Battlemage G10 and G21 GPUs are expected to meet the demands of both consumers and businesses.

Hogwarts Legacy - Tour the Ravenclaw Common Room | PS5, Ps4, Xbox One, P...

Hogwarts Legacy: Hogwarts Legacy is a role-playing video game (RPG) developed by Avalanche Software and published by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment in collaboration with Portkey Games. The game will be released in February 2023 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series and PC (Windows, via Epic Games Store and Steam); in April 2023 on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, and in July 2023 on Nintendo Switch. This game takes place in the world of wizards created by J. K. Rowling, without her being involved in the development and the scenario of the game. In 2022, Hogwarts Legacy is considered by some journalists to be the most anticipated video game of the year. Initially scheduled for 2021, the game's release was later announced for Christmas 2022. In August 2022, Avalanche Software announced the postponement of the game for the beginning of the following year, with a specific first release date. Hogwarts Legacy: Hogwarts Legacy, available Friday February 10, 2023 on PS5, PC and XBoxSeries. --------------------------------------------- Can you get into Ravenclaw common room? While the entrances to at least two of the other common rooms are guarded by means of passwords, the entrance to the Ravenclaw common room is a wooden door with no handle, only a knocker in the shape of an eagle. Does the Ravenclaw common room have a password? It was 'Caput Draconis' which is Latin for 'dragon's head' and that definitely fits as a straightforward password for the common room. What is the description of Ravenclaw common room? Description. The Ravenclaw common room was one of the airiest rooms at Hogwarts. It was a wide, circular room with graceful arched windows that punctuated the walls which were hung with blue and bronze silks and a midnight blue carpet covered in stars, which was reflected onto the domed ceiling. Where is Ravenclaw house located? Entrance. The entrance to the common room was located on the west side of Hogwarts at the top of a spiral staircase located on the fifth floor, and was a door without a doorknob or keyhole, but a bronze knocker in the shape of an eagle. Why is Ravenclaw so good? Ravenclaw is famous for welcoming eccentric people Intensely intelligent, Ravenclaws are also unique and think outside the box. This is usually a good thing, unless by 'thinking outside the box' you mean stealing other wizards' stories and erasing their memories, like a certain Ravenclaw called Gilderoy Lockhart. Who is the last heir of Ravenclaw? Andrea Deanisi as Wiglaf Sigurdsson, the Heir of Rowena Ravenclaw. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- *- How many hours is Hogwarts Legacy? According to a leaked art book of the game, Hogwarts Legacy will reportedly take 35 hours to complete the main story. *- What GPU does Hogwarts Legacy use?                     Recommended/High Specs RAM                                 16 GB GPU                                 NVIDIA GeForce 1080 Ti or AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT or INTEL Arc A770 DX VERSION                         DX 12 STORAGE                        85 GB SSD ---------------------------------------------------------------------- *- Can you get married in Hogwarts? Technically, weddings are not allowed at the Wizarding World, so they had to do it guerrilla-style (having a wedding while not booking the public venue). To get it done on the sly, they met behind The Three Broomsticks for a super quick and really small ceremony with a handfasting and personal vows. You'll need at least an Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 Ti to play at 1440p, while the developer recommends jumping up to an AMD RX 7900 XT if you plan to play at 4K. Although the minimum system requirements don't seem like much, Hogwarts Legacy quickly becomes more demanding as you move past 720p.

So here's the new toy that's been distracting me the last couple days. My decade+ old oversized ASUS gaming laptop finally pooped out several months ago, leaving me daily driving my Steam Deck of all things as my main home computer. And don't get me wrong, the Deck has performed remarkably well in that regard, but I've been meaning to get something a bit fancier for a while. Something that could handle 1440p gameplay at a decent framerate while streaming or recording, can manage image and video editing well, and in particular can run some VR games. I've been interested in VR gaming ever since Lobac posted about some of that a while back, especially with the Meta Quest 2 being a solid headset at a really aggressive cost. With the Zuck giving up on the metaverse, the Quest is likely never going to be cheaper than it is now.

I'd waffled for a while about building a PC, but in the end I psyched myself out and decided to go with a pre-built instead. Yes, that means willfully overpaying for the end product by a few hundred bucks to pay someone else to do the assembly and initial set up for me, but in exchange I only had to research one product instead of half a dozen separate components, plus there's a single warranty where if anything doesn't work it's somebody else's problem to fix it, and I'd only have to deal with a delay.

After watching and reading a bunch of reviews, Skytech seemed to be a decent choice for system integrator, with solid to positive reviews for various prebuilt models they offer, including Gamer's Nexus who tend to be pretty harsh on pre-builts. But it was this review from JustIN Tech that sold me on this Azure 2 model. "Performance equivalent to last gens best, but at half the price" is the exact tag line I was looking for, and after a recent price discount it was just within my $2k range.

In retrospect though, I should have done some more research on the specific components. I'm quite happy with the intel 13600 cpu, and while the included cooling setup is overkill for that chip, that just means I've got some free thermal space to overclock or upgrade in the future. Plus, it's pretty, and I'm shallow. On the other hand it turns out the nvidia 4070ti is not well thought of - generally considered badly overpriced, plus has the extra negetive association of being just a rebranding of the failed '4080 12gb' that was so roundly panned that its release had to be canned altogether. And the PNY model that came bundled in my unit isn't even as nice as the Gigabyte one in the JustIN Tech review. One of the reasons why Gamer's Nexus is the better channel for these sorts of reviews is that they do secret shopper and get the same stuff regular folks get, where as brands know what they're sending to channels like JustIN Tech and can take pains to make the best possible impression by including better components and taking extra care in assembly and packaging.

So what should I have purchased instead? I don't know. Maybe the 'blue' model of the same Azure 2 line, which is three hundred dollars cheaper to swap out the 4070ti for an intel Arc a770, which would probably have been more than enough for my intended use cases. Heck, with 4 extra gb of vram it might have even been better than the 4070ti for me in the long term, and if not then I could use the money saved towards swapping out to a better AMD card next gen. But the blue model comes in a blue version of the case, which wouldn't have made the swirly rainbow rbgs pop as much.

Anyway, while I might have made a different choice if I had done more research, that doesn't mean I'm at all unhappy with what I got! The Azure 2 arrived promptly. The build quality of the system is very nice. No damage, no loose or cross-threaded screws. Everything worked right out of the box when plugged in - including all the various external ports. Skytech certainly did a good job putting it all together. While the 4070ti might not be the most reasonably priced card for its performance level, now that it's here and paid for regardless, it seems like it should be able to do everything I want it to, at least for now. And if I end up replacing the gpu sooner then I would have liked, eh, we live and learn.

And while it doesn't matter at all compared to cost and performance, the swirly rainbow rgb lighting makes me feel like a Real Gamer (tm).

Desk is getting a bit cluttered tho.

As for performance, It's quiet and runs cool while playing my current games at top settings - though my particular game selection (mostly just Elden Ring on max settings with Ray Tracing), and my 1080p, 75hz monitor aren't exactly putting it through its paces yet. A new monitor is one of several upgrades & accessories I plan to get to go with this thing in coming months. New monitor, VR headset, an extra ssd on which to install linux - I figure I'll keep the windows install on the side, on the off chance there are games or utilities I can't get running in Linux down the line.

But anyway yeah, that's what I've been so busy with lately, delaying liveblog posts.

Intel Battlemage GPU: everything we know so far

Despite a rocky start, Intel’s Arc GPUs are now among the best graphics cards you can buy. Targeting budget PC gamers, Intel has established itself as a major player in gaming graphics cards, and all eyes are on Team Blue with its next generation of GPUs, codenamed Battlemage.

We know Battlemage GPUs are coming, and Intel has slowly been dropping hints about the graphics cards over the past year. Although we’re still waiting on an official release date, specs, and pricing details for Battlemage GPUs, there’s a lot we can piece together already.

The most recent bit of scoop about the specs comes directly from a Geekbench benchmark that showcases a discrete Intel GPU in action. The GPU is only referred to as “Intel Xe Graphics RI,” so it’s unclear which model we’re dealing with. It had 160 compute units, which translates to 20 Xe cores, 12GB of VRAM, and a boost clock reaching up to 2,850MHz.

These core counts are lower than both Arc A770 and Arc A750, which had 32 Xe cores and 28 Xe cores, respectively — but the boost frequency is higher.

Wccftech has also spotted a new Arc Battlemage graphics card in the graphics-related logs generated by the Direct Rendering Manager (DRM) subsystem within the Linux kernel. The logs revealed that the card was sporting 12GB of VRAM — much like in the benchmark I spoke about above — and 19Gbps memory. This is faster than Arc Alchemist, but as the GPU only comes with a 192-bit memory bus, the bandwidth might still be lower at 456GB/s as opposed to the 512GB/s we’ve seen in Alchemist. The number of Xe cores on this GPU remains a little uncertain, but the leak suggests that the GPU might come with just 14 Xe2 cores.

Originally, leakers like RedGamingTech claimed the flagship card would come with 64 Xe cores — double what’s available on the A770 we have now, and with an entirely new architecture in tow. At the beginning of the year, RedGamingTech revised their rumor, saying that the flagship GPU would come with 56 Xe cores. That’s still a massive bump over the A770. The latest speculation is a little bit different, however.

Frequent Twitter leaker Harukaze5719 found some shipping manifests that gave us some insight into the rumored specs of Intel Battlemage. According to the manifests, Battlemage will come in two flavors: X2 and X3. The X2 card is said to be the flagship, and the specs are drastically cut down compared to what RedGamingTech speculated on earlier this year.

The X2 card is said to come with 32 Xe2 cores, which translates to a (presumed) 4,096 stream processors (SPs) and 512 execution units (EUs). That’s exactly the same as Intel Arc A770, but the Battlemage architecture is also said to provide some improvements regardless of the number of EUs. The second card will reportedly sport 28 Xe2 cores (3,584 SPs and 448 EUs).

According to speculation, the so-called Battlemage GPU with 56 Xe2 cores was canceled. Intel appears to be adopting a similar strategy to AMD’s RDNA 4 in this generation by sticking to the budget part of the market. However, just a few months ago, the rumors were vastly different. Apart from the flagship card with much better specs, RedGamingTech used to claim that the card could reach clock speeds of up to 3GHz and would come with a massive 112MB of L2 cache.

What really stands out about the leak is the Adamantine cache, however. This is a form of cache that Intel has developed for CPUs, and it’s not dissimilar from AMD’s 3D V-Cache — basically, you stack a bunch of extra cache on the die. It’s what you’d call a “Level 4” cache. It’s slow by cache standards, but RedGamingTech says Intel plans on packing a massive 512MB of Adamantine cache on the flagship chip. However, if Intel chooses to stick to the entry-level card for a flagship, chances are that the Adamantine cache won’t be a thing in this generation, either. Mind you, this is speculation.

In addition to the model with 56 Xe Cores, the leakers used to say that a model with 40 Xe cores was in the works. This one seems a bit more grounded in reality, packing the aforementioned cores, a 192-bit memory bus, and none of the Adamantine cache. RedGamingTech speculated that this design might claim the flagship slot, citing the poor margins that could come from the 56 Xe core model.

As things stand now, we have vastly different accounts from different sources. While some leakers used to claim Intel would offer a huge spec uplift in Battlemage, those rumors have gone silent. Which GPU is real: the one with 56 Xe2 cores or the one with 32 Xe2 cores? It’s impossible to tell right now.

We expected Battlemage cards to show up in the second half of 2024, but the timeline is growing uncertain as Intel is still yet to make any official announcements.

At the beginning of the year, Intel’s Tom Petersen said that engineers on the graphics team are working on software for the next-gen GPUs and that hardware engineers have already moved onto “the next thing.” Battlemage, on the hardware front at least, is ready to go. This was recently corroborated by DigiTimes, which reported (as shared by Gamers Nexus) that Battlemage production started in the first half of 2024. Battlemage has also made an appearance in Intel’s graphics drivers.

Adding more evidence to this is a recent shipping manifest showing two Battlemage GPUs. The manifest notes that these cards are “for R&D purposes only,” but sending hardware around suggests Intel is entering the final stages of validation. In addition, Intel itself shared a slide with Japanese media outlets showing a new GPU launching in 2024.

Leakers don’t agree with this timeline, however. YouTuber Moore’s Law is Dead cites Intel sources claiming that Battlemage is targeting a very late 2024 or early 2025 release. That’s despite an early road map shared last year that showed GPUs launching between April and June of 2024. Meanwhile, at a recent conference that Intel held with Asus, the manufacturer is said to have promised to launch Battlemage before the end of the year.

That April to June roadmap didn’t happen, but Intel might still make it if it really plans to announce Battlemage before we ring in the new year.

The latest leak lines up with this time frame. ComputerBase reported that Intel would launch the GPUs before Black Friday in preparation for the holiday season, so there’s not much time left for it to make its announcements.

At this point, we’re waiting for Intel to share more. Intel stayed quiet on the matter of Battlemage during Computex 2024, so now we’re in limbo. Intel is also not alone in possibly skipping this year with a new GPU release — AMD and Nvidia are now also rumored to be waiting for early 2025 to launch their new graphics cards. In fact, AMD recently confirmed that it’s targeting early 2025 with RDNA 4, and Nvidia’s CEO Jensen Huang is set to host a keynote during CES 2025 that will likely include an RTX 50-series reveal.

We won’t know anything about pricing until Intel has more to share. However, there’s a good chance Intel will focus on budget and midrange cards rather than expensive flagships like the RTX 4090. That’s what we saw with the Arc A770 and A750 in the previous generation. Intel’s stance with Arc since its inception has been valuable, and I don’t suspect it will abandon that idea with Battlemage.

Given the specs, there are two ways the pricing could go. If Intel goes for the higher end and makes a competitive GPU, I suspect the flagship card will arrive around $500 — but this only applies if Intel goes ahead with the 56 Xe2-core model. That’s pure speculation right now, so don’t treat it any differently. Those more hopeful specs imply that Intel is designing a reasonably powerful flagship with Battlemage that will likely command a higher price, and we’ve seen with GPUs like the RX 7900 GRE from AMD and the RTX 4070 from Nvidia how important this price bracket is.

On the other hand, if Intel keeps it conservative, its flagship might end up being much cheaper at around $350. We’ll have to wait and see.

Intel calls the architecture behind Battlemage Xe2, following up on the Xe architecture we saw with Alchemist graphics cards. Leakers have shared a few details about what this next-generation architecture will entail, but we’re light on concrete details.

For starters, there’s a good chance Intel will stick with semiconductor manufacturer TSMC for Battlemage. We don’t know what node Intel will use, but rumor has it that Battlemage will use the N4 node. There are multiple variations of this node, some of which are being used in Nvidia’s next-gen data center GPUs named Blackwell, so it’s not clear if Intel will stick with a vanilla version or not. A recent DigiTimes report said that Intel will indeed use a TSMC 4nm node.

For Battlemage, Intel says it’s simplifying its lineup. With the first Xe architecture, Intel built it to scale from low-power laptops up to data center GPUs. Intel’s Tom Petersen says that Xe2 will have a more streamlined lineup. You’ll get Xe2-LPG for lower-power applications, and Xe2-HPG for high-performance discrete GPUs.

Os preços das placas gráficas Arc A770 e Arc A750 da Intel continuam caindo e se tornando mais competitivos em relação às GPUs NVIDIA e AMD recentes. As placas gráficas Intel Arc A770 e Arc A750 oferecem valor competitivo contra as GPUs mais recentes da NVIDIA e AMD Começando com o principal destaque deste post, temos o GUNNIR Intel Arc A770 Photon OC White que vem com um frame buffer de 16 GB e é um dos poucos a apresentar tais capacidades de memória uma vez que a referência da Intel Limited Edition foi descontinuada. Isso deixa unicamente duas opções de A770 16 GB, 1 da GUNNIR e outra da ACER. A Sparkle nos disse que eles também oferecerão uma versão de 16 GB do Arc A770 quando sua novidade risco for lançada nas prateleiras do varejo. O preço mais grave do Intel Arc A770 16 GB foi anteriormente de US$ 339, mas a GUNNIR está oferecendo ainda mais descontos com o MSRP chinês para o cartão agora caindo para unicamente 2.299 RMB ou US$ 318. O mesmo cartão foi lançado por 3.199 RMB no ano pretérito, o que significa que estamos vendo uma queda de -28%, o que é muito grande. Isso mais uma vez torna a A770 16 GB a placa gráfica de 16 GB mais alcançável do mercado. Mas isso não é tudo, a placa de vídeo Intel Arc A770 de 8 GB também recebe uma boa promoção com a versão ASRock Phantom Gaming agora com preço de US$ 289, que é mais barata que a GPU NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060. O Arc A770 tem sido muito competitivo com o RTX 4060 em nossa estudo recente e essas novas quedas de preço simplesmente o tornam um grande valor para os jogadores convencionais. O Arc A750 da ASRock na versão Challenger também recebeu um preço promocional reduzido para US$ 229, o que o torna mais barato que o Radeon RX 7600. Na China, você pode até encontrar a placa de vídeo GUNNIR Arc A770 Photon FLUX 8 GB por unicamente US$ 270, que é o mesmo preço sugerido da GPU AMD Radeon RX 7600. O AMD Radeon RX 7600 teve uma queda de preço para US$ 249, mas você terá uma economia de US$ 20 se comprar o Arc A750 de 8 GB, que terá um desempenho muito semelhante. A Intel realmente conseguiu fazer uma reviravolta completa com sua risco Arc, com o A770 e o A750 agora vistos uma vez que de grande valor, devido às recentes otimizações de driver e cortes de preços. Embora ainda existam alguns problemas com as placas no lado do driver, esperamos que a Intel os resolva rapidamente para que o Battlemage e as próximas iGPUs Xe-LPG para Meteor Lake possam ter um ecossistema de driver mais maduro em seu lançamento.

Intel Arc A580 GPU Crushes the AMD RX 7600 in OpenCL!

Intel Arc A580 GPU OpenCL Benchmark The most up-to-date benchmarks for Intel’s Arc A580 graphics card have been found, and the launch of this card is currently scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2023. There is a possibility that this graphics processing unit (GPU) will be the sole exciting option accessible at that moment.

The most current benchmarks for the Intel Arc A580 GPU demonstrate that it outperforms the RX 7600 while providing pricing that are much cheaper.

We were given the chance to observe the very first benchmarks of the Intel Arc A580 graphics card that were saved in the Geekbench database during the month of August. These benchmarks were published by Geekbench. The graphics processing unit (GPU) has finally been released again after a delay of two months. This time, it has an even better performance score, which places it in top place among the AMD Radeon RX 7600 and GeForce RTX 3050 GPU series.

The Intel Arc A580 includes 24 cores, 384 EUs, and 3072 ALUs, all of which are clocked at an official graphics rate of 1700 MHz. Getting started with the specifications, the Intel Arc A580 also contains 3072 ALUs. On the other hand, the test reveals clock rates of up to 2.4 GHz, which places it on level with the other two Arc A770 and Arc A750 graphics cards. The graphics card will have a total power budget of 185 watts, 8 gigabytes of GDDR6 visual memory (VRAM), 256 bits of bus interface, and up to 512 gigabytes per second (GB/s) of bandwidth. In addition, the power budget will allow for 256 bits of bus interface.

Intel Arc A580 vs. AMD RX 7600 Comparison

The graphics card was able to get a score of 88,019 points while operating at the same clock speeds of 2.4 GHz inside the OpenCL test. This outcome is a reflection of how well the card performed. This is a 6% performance uplift over the previous score, and it is probable that several driver upgrades that the company has done during the course of the last two months are directly responsible for this gain in score.

This uplift in performance was achieved. The result also provides the Intel Arc A580 a 6% performance edge over the AMD Radeon RX 7600 and takes it almost up to par with the performance of the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 graphics card. Both of these results can be found in the table below.

On the other hand, the cost of the Intel Arc A580 8 GB graphics card may be regarded the product’s most important advantage. At the Japanese retailer Bic Camera, the graphics card with the ASRock Challenger OC variant was only recently listed for a price of 38,880 Yen. This price point is equivalent to a savings of thirty percent in comparison to the Intel Arc A750 Challenger OC version that is made available by ASRock.

Aside from that, the price of the card is 15% less expensive than the price of the ASRock Radeon RX 7600 Challenger OC GPU and is almost equivalent to the price of the RTX 3060. Intel may have a highly competitive product in its hands that costs between $179 and $199 in the United States if the same pricing gaps are maintained throughout the rest of the global markets. This is the case if Intel has a highly competitive product in its hands.

The performance of Intel’s Arc A580 GPU is compared to that of AMD Radeon RX 6600 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 graphics cards, as stated by Intel itself in a PowerPoint presentation that Momomo_US obtained. In addition, by going to this location, you will have the opportunity to have an in-depth look at some upcoming bespoke models.
