When I first heard the news about intel doing graphics card, I found it funny. I thought, "are they really this desperate?". But reading the reviews and hearing other peoples experience, they seem to actually deliver something valuable here, wow

My only concern is bugs with the drivers, but I'm sure they'll iron these out

What's the compute support for Intel cards look like? I'm crossing my fingers for a 16GB Battlemage card - it'd be an instant buy if the setup for local inference was relatively uncomplicated.

IPEX is decent enough on Linux, as in "just works". Remains to be seen whether Battlemage will have day one support, though.

My experience is admittedly second-hand, but it seems this time around Intel realized they need halfway decent drivers to be competitive, so they have been making a lot of improvements in that area. They've rapidly improved driver compatibility with a lot of games, such that this new GPU of theirs is actually worth a consideration, unlike the previous generation which felt a little more of a proof-of-concept product.
