#2These seem amazing for hobbyist, but that TDP given the perf might be an issue deploying a lot of them

Its performance is pretty unbalanced. If you're using it for the couple of things that it's good at, the TDP is competitive.

#4I would like one for the vram but I am sure they will be unobtainable after the initial stock sells out as I assume they were produced before the RAM prices went up.

#5Can you use those AI cards for gaming too?
Or the makers intentionally nerf them, in order to better segment the markets/product lines?

#6Is Intel still making GPUs? I have heard so many conflicting things about will they/won't they stay in the market.

#7Time to first token is a very important performance metric, as I figured out using a Mac Studio M3 Ultra (that is quite slow on this aspect).
But 32GB for a TDP of 230W is perhaps not super interesting. Especially because you probably want to have more than one card. It's a lot of heat. You could use the cards for heating up a building, but heatpumps exist.

The drivers often need per game optimisations these will be missing but I doubt Intel would nerf them, just rely on you not paying a lot for RAM the game won't use.

#10From what I've read the Intel drivers are terrible and holding back using them for LLMs.
