[@dkochiev5384]

@GamersNexus thank you for this opportunity to see the exact differences between alchemist and battlemage architectures ❤. I hope for the soonest optimisations for xmx engines in professional programms to use them for protein researches as nvidia's tensor cores competitor

[@Linda-x9s6g]

Thanks Tom

[@robertbrainard5651]

The Question i have, is the software gonna work for the GPUs ?

[@mateunix]

Any chance to start posting videos on Odysee too?

[@qfurgie]

Props to Intel for being so transparent and willing with information about their GPU's. Tom really cares!

[@GamersNexus]

Big change of pace from their CPU team!

[@auritro3903]

Who knew that when Intel's CPUs were floundering, their GPUs would save the day... Seems like a repeat of AMD in the early 2010s during Bulldozer and Radeon era, to be honest.

[@DigitalJedi]

Between this and the recent presentation for future litho tech (go team!), Intel has actually been quite transparent about things lately. I hope the CPU guys can get something together like this as well. I'd love to have their version of Tom come on to talk about things like the clustered front end of Skymont or the split scheduler of Lion Cove.

[@102728]

Tom really understands that the only way to gain a foothold is through us tech nerds, so gives us something we tech nerds like. It's still marketing, just with a different target audience, don't be fooled.

[@CesarinPillinGaming]

Imagine if they had done the same in the CPU segment XD

[@CloneMalone]

It's always a breath of fresh air when an engineer talks about the product they worked on rather than the CEO

[@faviann]

It feels so much more genuine and interesting I couldn't agree more

[@alex84632]

The CEO was... Unavailable.

[@integerofdoom69]

CEOs are particularly unpopular lately. Not sure why.

[@auturgicflosculator2183]

Slightly looking forward to laughing at everything MJH says, but agreed.

[@iansabrewolfe]

Indeed. CEOs never really understand the material and can’t explain the nitty-gritty specifics the way the engineers and designers can.

[@Joroshira]

Honestly? Tom is Intel's greatest advertiser at this point.

[@Decenium]

he is the greatest advertiser for just about all PC related stuff imo, nobody has a guy like this, Intel is super lucky to have him.

[@darlokt51]

[@Just_An_Ignacio]

@@dodofren Look for the same video with Tom and GN when Alchemist was about to launch. *It all ended up being bullsh*t.* People really have no memory, the video is up and everything. PD: my explanation and clarification below.

[@NJ-wb1cz]

​@@Just_An_Ignacio can confirm I have no... wait what are we talking about?

[@Real28]

​@@Just_An_Ignacio no, you're projecting - and poorly. That video was architecture. It didn't say they would come in and hit certain benchmarks. It wasn't fluff. It was just architecture, like this video. Only bullshit is what you typed

Tom is retrieved from deep within Wendell's (unintentional)dungeon and returned after these talks. Only Wendell knows the way in and out.

[@jackrabbitping]

If you look closely enough you can see makeshift signs made by Tom to indicate there is sentient life trapped at Wendell's maybe even frames of Tom himself in the background 😉. There are even a few moments where you can hear him rehearse for Battlemage's launch.

[@annekedebruyn7797]

I don't even care how much people hate the Intel overlords. I am rooting for the GPU division big time and Tom is helping big time.

[@kelownatechkid]

I think most are frustrated with the corporate-level moves, but advancements in technology and visibility into engineering decisions are hard for anyone to have issues with. As a dev, I can say that working with intel drivers, software etc is so much nicer than amd/nvidia. Just the fact that their media engine is good and has drivers embedded in the linux kernel is a completely different situation than nvidia (no good drivers in kernel) and amd (awful media engine for anything that's not hevc)

[@Tweeeeble]

Just excited for more relevant competition. Competition is always good, and Intel really needs this to do well.

[@Janeichen]

Competition is always good. So I am hoping that intel gets their shit together CPU sided and that their GPUs keep up with the improvements that we see so far. I would definitely consider my next GPU to be intel if they deliver a good product. That intel on a corporate level is a pos that nearly bankrupted AMD with illegal market manipulation is a different thing...

[@tkermi]

Yep, their CPU side doesn't really need extra attention. It does okay no matter what, with obvious small ups and downs depending on if/how bad they messed up. But GPUs are excellent addition.

[@bassyey]

Rooting is useless. Money talks. Unless you actually buy one, that's as good as a prayer.

@@raychii7361 The B570 should slot into that price range pretty quickly after launch. At $219 it's one decent deal away from dipping below the $200 mark. It seems like Intel bumped BMG up by a tier compared to ALC.

[@Cobalt_Capacitor]

We really need more competition in the consumer GPU scene. Hopefully this starts making prices somewhat reasonable again for respective hardware and performance gains. Edit: > Makes surface-level statement about GPU market > "oh well you're CLEARLY going for Nvidia" I just want ANY card that offers great price-to-performance for my needs when I'll need to upgrade in the future, man. Prices don't make sense right for most performance brackets in Canada right now. I'm just hoping that soon enough, people will have a much larger pool of selections for each performance range at more reasonable prices, regardless of which team you're on 😭

[@GamersNexus]

Agreed! Lots of domination at the top-end especially.

[@Wainey]

I'm hoping but with news of AMD not going high end with their GPU's anymore I feel like there is going to be a lot of competition in the mid point and under.

@@GamersNexus I don't care about the top end, that's NVidia's $2500 playground if they want to have it. I will forever be loyal to my $200-300 class of card, which SHOULD be mid range. But the is, from this time last year, prices for the same products have gone UP 5-10%. Think 6600/7600, 3060/4060.

[@niteriderevo9179]

pre 2020 pricing, that 200~300 usd range would be 1~2 notches off top end, ie x7xx~x8xx amd / xx7x~xx8x nvidia.. so... yeah, i'd rather see that back.

[@operator8014]

I always felt the x50 Ti cards are the ultimate peak value for gaming at around $120. Plays anything current at 1080p60 with low-medium settings. Good thing nothing worth upgrading for has come out. The 1050 Ti is still perfectly capable for anything that's actually been optimized in any way.

[@Tuhar]

Another one of those videos that makes you really appreciate the amazing speed of modern computers. 1 frame in Fortnite made over 7000 API calls. Then you think about that speed of a gigahertz - a billion cycles in a second - and get a sense of amazement that we're doing all this math so quickly just to play video games. Awesome.

[@hammerth1421]

Yeah, it's not just that one frame is being rendered every 13 ms, it's that 7000 API calls are necessary to complete such a frame and they all have to happen within that short time of 13 ms. Modern processors are crazy fast.

[@Anonymous-m9f9j]

It’s to refreshing to hear isn’t it. We foster this at work in an IT firm so people are not afraid to learn from others and as a team. We want people to feel comfortable not knowing and comfortable asking for help. It’s been lost in so many other fields and especially in policy and politics.

[@miendude]

Could listen to Tom all day, I wonder if he was ever a teacher because his speaking cadence and explanations are extremely concise and comprehendible. There is also the adage of being able to teach a subject shows your expertise in that subject, and his level of knowledge always impresses.

[@habarvaz]

Thank you for making these great videos about Intel even though you've had disagreements regarding their latest products. That's why I love your channel so much, you always manage to be objective while giving spotlight when needed

For sure. We can respect what engineers do regardless of what the big corporate structure does!

[@bmqww223]

@@GamersNexus A question that you could have asked and i also have a question is that b580 die is 272 mm² which is almost as close to nvidia's mid tier gpu die 294 mm²(rtx 4070), why a 70 class gpu is sold so cheap by intel and are they making a loss and being the die size being so big why isn't it performing as close to a rtx 4070 or atleast a bit behind it.....and any driver updates would give me a performance uplift ? or its the manufacturng shortcoming that we are getting so less transistor density?what is the root cause here?

@@bmqww223a580 and a770 were both 406mm2 (i lloked from techpowerup) for get lower price they rcycled broken a770 dies so probably same thing happened .it make sense because when u compare rtx 4060 (18.9b tr 160mm2 5nm) vs b580 19.6b tr 270m2 5nm also ) this difference is huge .270mm2 for b770 makes much more sense since it is rtx 4070 tier card but we cant be sure until launch if there will be any

[@traversharty]

So it begins...

[@KrikZ32]

Intel doing to Nvidia and the GPU market the same thing that AMD did to them in the CPU market would be beyond hilarious.

[@Raizan-IO]

@@KrikZ32 Irony is funny, specially with the new leaks on nvidia processing units (but honestly I think they will be used for like a new shield and so on).

[@Anankin12]

​@@KrikZ32I doubt they will do to Nvidia what they got done by AMD simply because Nvidia never rested on their laurels. They are trying to fuck us over, very true; they're offering shrinkflation, also true. But their architecture is fundamentally progressing faster and faster, they're just keeping the best for enterprise and very Premium customers. Intel's architecture had basically stopped progressing when AMD caught them. This means that if Intel gets too good, nvidia just needs to increase vram a bit.

[@Struct.3]

@@KrikZ32 It likely won't happen, Intel got fucked in the cpu market because they were doing shitty work. Nvidia has been doing incredible work. Their progress with gpu tech is absolutely phenomenal. So long as Nvidia hasn't gotten high on the temporary AI boom and over hired I think they will do just fine even with more competition. The only thing that would possibly happen is they adjust their pricing. But even that is a stretch as they have a supply problem, not a pricing problem. And if you think Nvidia has been doing crappy work because they sold low end gpus as 60 - 70 and 80 tier cards as premium products then you're really missing the point here. If you look at the architectural improvements they have been doing and the massive performance jumps at the high end its pretty clear they have been doing good, And profiting massively of it.

[@PelonixYT]

@@Struct.3well said, Nvidia would have to be morons to shoot themselves in the foot, too many companies do that to appease shareholders in the short terms, but Nvidia seems to know better and are now reaping the benefits of long term investments (CUDA and AI // ML)

Love every Video with Tom, no matter for what company hes working for. hes just a great guy with a lot of knowledge

[@thewizard7099]

I’ll be buying a intel gpu on my next build

[@stuartthurstan]

I love these interviews with Tom. At least half of what he is trying to explain goes straight over my head yet having said that, each time you do one of these videos, my understanding of how computer graphics are drawn increases a tiny bit. I just think it's sooo cool that an engineer is prepared to spend time explaining how the new products work. Tom has a great presentation style being neither too technical nor condescending and is clearly very passionate about what he does. I really hope the Battlemage cards are a big success for Intel, and for us!

the title and description get auto translated to German, please check if KZbin enabled some setting on your channel that you need to disable to not make life hell for the German viewers

[@GamersNexus]

Awful. Thanks. I'll get rid of that in channel settings.

[@Dudummeskind]

@@GamersNexusmuch appreciated

@@GamersNexus Danke Steve.

[@DigitalJedi]

I though it was a DerBauer upload at first and I was like "oh neat, GN collab and Tom interview?"

[@Jonathanh1986]

The term "Inside a Frame" when thinking about graphics and games has a sense of poetry to it, I can't explain. Very cool.

Intel has done in a short time what AMD couldn't do in the GPU sector for years Congratulations

[@israellewis5484]

​@@GreyDeathVaccineprecisely. Read the white paper. AMD really hasn't dedicated GPU space to the RTU. They are doing a hybrid build since RDNA2 but imo RDNA3 didn't scale as well for a lot of reasons. I think AMD is being forced to do RT when it doesn't directly benefit them.

[@TarisRedwing]

This is amazing and I could easily listen to you guys break it down all day how a GPU works and the uplifts from previous hardware. Can't wait to see a hardware review by GN!!

Here while the Spanish title is still the seemingly placeholder "extras tom bmg arquitectura sb"

[@GamersNexus]

Ugh. KZbin is frustrating. Not sure how we turn that off, but trying. Edit - figured it out. Successfully disabled, I think.

[@paulustrucenus]

Same for French lol (Not anymore but I grabbed a screenshot lol)

[@GamersNexus]

@paulustrucenus Thanks for letting me know it's not anymore - that helps me know I found the right setting!

[@paulustrucenus]

@@GamersNexus Glad I was helpful ^^

Tom Peterson is just a really good explainer. I love that guy explaining stuff
