replyThey seem to? Intel Arc is the cheapest option by far for a discrete card with 32GB VRAM.
They took longer than everyone expected and then shortly after release they made announcements that made people worry that Intel might kill the project the way they tend to kill GPU projects.
reply(I still kinda want to get one tho.)
That’s not massive, though. Make it 96GB at $2,000 (ok, probably impossible right now, but they could have before the surge in prices) and you’ll see developers work really hard to make AI tooling work for their cards, CUDA be damned. The same goes for AMD.
replyIt’s like they both want to rely on market segmentation for VRAM too but fail to realize that it’s their only potential inroad right now.
If you buy three 32GB GPUs, that's 96GB total at a very reasonable price. An AI model splits easily by layers, so running on multiple GPUs is quite feasible.
