Is Intel still making GPUs? I have heard so many conflicting things about will they/won't they stay in the market.

They appear to be backing out (for a little while) of consumer cards, but datacentre/workstation/laptop GPUs are still their focus.

Intel always had that habit of starting an internal conflict whenever whatever potential alternative revenue sources start to threaten their internal dependence on x86

What do you mean, are they still making GPUs? This is a discrete GPU that has just recently been released, and it's one of the most popular GPUs in its class at the moment, due to 32 GiB of RAM for under $1000, which makes it great for LLM inference.

		> What do you mean, are they still making GPUs? There was recent talk of them pulling back from the consumer segment, though obviously the leaks have also predicted Battlemage not being a thing so go figure: https://youtu.be/NYd2meJumyE?t=638 (timestamped) That said, them not releasing a B770 in the consumer segment also sucks, since there are games and use cases that the B580 comes in a bit short for.

		Honestly, I dont even care if its slower than just getting a 5090, just being able to run models my 3080 cannot handle would be a welcome change.

The B70 would have been the B770 bit it was canceled. Celestial has been canceled too.

I thought I had read that too and went to look for clarification and found that they’re just moving to a single architecture for their cards. Seemed reasonable.

I don't know what to believe when it comes to Intel news because they have so many haters.

They'll always have iGPUs so whether or not they stay in the dGPU market depends mostly on whether or not people buy them. So they might not, whole market seems to be moving to SoCs/APUs/whatever you want to call them.

Not only will they always have iGPUs, but also cannot give up on advancing their datacenter AI GPUs (the next being Jaguar Shores). They need both of those far more than consumer or prosumer dGPUs, but that means they are committed to Big GPU work and Small GPU work.

Since they will have both of those big and small "bookends" of GPU architectures, it is a question of whether they see benefits in maintaining an accessible foothold in the midmarket ecosystem. I could make an argument for both sides of that, but obviously the decision is not up to me.

		They're working with nvidia to use their GPU tiles in mobile products.
