LOL plus the article he’s sharing (which he quoted in OP) contradicts his own headline.Oh man, the perfect sly dig headline for the forum's AMD nut. Bet he's only posting this intel news so he has a chance to throw a bit of 'AMD beats Nvidia' fud.
As stated, the 6700xt isn't more powerful than a 3070. apart from in a couple of games which are purposefully optimised for AMD at the expense of Nvidia.
And no, I don't have a 3070.
The only market that matters is the highendIntel is so stupid they are making cards for the most popular segment of the market.
They should have gone for the ultra niche 3080/3090 tier of cards.
The one percent is the only one that matters right?The only market that matters is the highend
Thats false. Amd was only in mid market for years but nobody cared.The one percent is the only one that matters right?
People care about AMD?.....the 6700XT is the only 6000 series card that makes the steam survey.Thats false. Amd was only in mid market for years but nobody cared.
Now when amd releases highend products people care about them again.
Intel has a huge advantage over Nvidia or AMD, it owns the fab that manufacture the chips (designed and manufactured by Intel).The problem is this is Intel. It won't be cheap.

The 3070/DG2 competitor.
The midrange is the only place to make real money.
Yup as much as people are "proud" of AMD having stepped their games up.Peoples are confusing peepee wars on the high tiers as if that’s what sells. It certainly generates a lot of talk and comparisons between peoples who already buy high end or just like tech, but it’s a minority of buyers. Just like NeoGAF is a microcosm of gaming taste compared to the general market. Shit, you can’t even buy them nowadays while the market is flooding with 3060s. Finding an AMD 6800/6900XT at MSRP (I.e. Only AMD references) is like finding an unicorn.
Mid range always dominated sales, the steam database does not lie.
Yeah it annoys me a bit that discussion is always dominated by the hardcore technology fetishistsPeoples are confusing peepee wars on the high tiers as if that’s what sells.

I feel kind of alone when I say I like PC for the freedom, not just a specs.Yeah it annoys me a bit that discussion is always dominated by the hardcore technology fetishists
PC gaming scene is much broader.
I feel kind of alone when I say I like PC for the freedom, not just a specs.
It seems like a lot of PC gamers only care about benchmarks and upgrading their system every 6 months (LOL).
The specs/benchmark snobs are actually the minority of PC gamers.I feel kind of alone when I say I like PC for the freedom, not just a specs.

Intel have been doing iGPU drivers for a very long time.Driver support is as important as performance. If it's close to a 3070 in benchmarks but game support is lacking this will be only interesting for miners.
Actually I love 1440p 170hz in FPS and racing games. Otherwise I don't really care if a game is 60 fps, like Dark Souls or soon Elden Ring.The specs/benchmark snobs are actually the minority of PC gamers.
Most PC gamers get midrange hardware and are very happy to play at 60fps......we dont all need 4K200Hz.
As long as you can meet req spec in most games on the GPU front you should be fine.
Upgrading CPUs realistically should only happen during true generational shifts otherwise you could still have a 6000 series Intel and be very very okay.
Even when Benchmarking, alot of games have setting that are beyond the hardware so "ultra settings" shouldnt even be the thing you are hunting down.
The joys of PC gaming is you can play the game with the settings that work best for you....assuming its well made *stares and Final Fantasy Intergarde.
Ive been in the midrange since I started building machines, and have never felt inadequate or anything like that.
Once I got to Nvidia building I pretty much stayed midrange or there about (Nvidia used to have weird overpowered cards)
6200
6800 GS - Unlocked to GT *the deal was too good to miss out on.
8800 GTS - was faster than their range topper.
GTX 260 C216
GTX 570
GTX 770
GTX 970 - didnt last long
GTX 1070
RTX 3070ti - PC build still on going might get rid of it for Ada Lovelace.
Intel have been doing iGPU drivers for a very long time.
Their drivers are actually the thing im least worried about.
Yeah, this duopoly has gone for far too long.Anything to add competition to the bullshit that is currently AMD and Nvidia.
highend card sells for 3X MSRP so you are very wrong.The midrange is the only place to make real money.
And you think shintel will be cheap lol. Raja is a fraud.Yeah, this duopoly has gone for far too long.
Not speculating on the pricing other than more competition being good.And you think shintel will be cheap lol. Raja is a fraud.
1. You haven't looked up GPU prices in a loong time I guess.highend card sells for 3X MSRP so you are very wrong.
Tell me you dont know how business works without telling me you dont know how business works.highend card sells for 3X MSRP so you are very wrong.
You're not alone I have a 3060 and play on 1080p. Plan to use this PC for another 4 years.I feel kind of alone when I say I like PC for the freedom, not just a specs.
