very interesting, the next generation of PC handhelds might have a significant performance boost with this chip. The question is now pricing, because this won't matter that much if the handhelds using them are $1500.

How are Intel GPUs on Linux ?

[–] AdrianTheFrog@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago

Decent I think, as long as you don't want to use XeSS

[–] kugmo@sh.itjust.works 1 points 5 days ago

xe driver on first gen has no hardware encoding/decoding, vulkan performance isn't up to par, no power usage exposed yet iirc

The reason you don't hear much is because they usually Just Work.

What a time to have AMD CPUs and Intel graphics.

And Steam shipping an ARM desktop alongside their x86 handheld.

[–] joyjoy@lemmy.zip 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Not an ARM desktop, but an ARM headheld.

[–] kumi@feddit.online 1 points 5 days ago

I am referring to the ARM Steam Machine next to the x86 Steam Deck handheld.

And virtual ram

Intel be like:

"My products are rand(50,80) % better than AMD. Trust me bro"

[–] Blue_Morpho@lemmy.world 17 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Intel has been beating mid range AMD and low end Nvidia for over a year so it's worth looking at.

Yeah. If you're looking for cheap bang for the buck Arc B580 is comparable to RTX 4060 while being half the price of a 4060. People are seriously sleeping on Intel GPUs. If you're on a budget Intel GPUs are the way to go.

Aren’t the drivers kind of ass though still?

[–] definitemaybe@lemmy.ca 6 points 6 days ago

Exactly what I've heard; essentially, they work pretty well for recent games, but they suck for patient gamers.

Kinda makes the idea of using them in a handheld a non-starter for a lot of people, since older games are amazing on a lower-powered handheld PC.

Memory is extremely overclocked, and AMD hasn't announced their Zen 6 mobile cpus yet

But yes, 2/3nm apus will do amazing things for handheld gaming.

[–] sonalder@lemmy.ml 2 points 6 days ago

And we are still waiting for RDNA4 on AMD's APUs
