I cannot understand why would a tech reviewer do that.
Edit: Here is a simple llama.cpp compare where the token gen results match the rule of thumb.

Or the makers intentionally nerf them, in order to better segment the markets/product lines?
But I hope to somehow have 48Gb or 64GB VRAM in a GPU that's also gaming-ready.
I was looking for maybe getting a mac studio for this reason, but I don't think a mac is really good for for gaming.
Noob question.
Bandwidth on that memory interface and setup for dual channel would be significantly worse than Strix Halo, which already exists and could be an entire compute setup with no need for an ASIC.
I read that Intel is getting out of the dGPU space, but then again, their iGPUs are really getting good. I can't understand why they'd give up the space when the AI market is so insane.
The team working on drivers is doing a good job playing catch up and I hope intel will continue to invest in cards that focus on graphics workloads and not just on AI inference.
nVidia has zero incentives to play open for linux, they release the binary blobs, next to zero docs and support, and you deal with it. The last nVidia card I bought was 20 years ago, and it was so bad for linux (low perf and freezes for the open drivers, manual re-install hell and pray on each kernel update for the binaries) that I switched to ATI. Since then, ATI or Intel always were decent with zero headaches.
Intel looks like they'll leave the dedicated GPU space, so it's a bit doubtful if the drivers will ever catch up.
I've seen several stories like this. Which is a shame since Intel offers the best value GPUs on the market.
I guess it's possible they'll still make workstation GPUs while skipping the consumer market.
