Is it? I don't really see it being sustainable on their current trajectory.Intel B580 is almost like Intel's Ryzen moment in the GPU space. Right performance, right time, right price to shake things up. But will there be takers?
Good enough performance at a great price means a solid product but the timing is terrible.
If they would have launched it at any other point in 2024 it would have been amazing, especially towards the middle of the year, but at the end of Q4 within a month of competition?
Edit- To go back on topic about performance targets... I really think AMD's choice for RDNA4 is the sweetspot for average FPS gaming according to TPU.
N48(~7900XT) - ~180FPS @ 1080p native, ~120-140fps @ 1440p native, and ~60-80FPS @ 4k native.
That means with optimizing settings and/or using upscaling/FG you can make good use of those +$500 highend monitors, +240FPS @ 1080p, +200FPS @ 1440p, and +120fps at 4k.
N44(~RTX3070) - ~100FPS @ 1080p native and ~70FPS @ 1440p native.
Optimizing settings + upscalers/FG means good match for budget $200-$300 gaming monitors, ~200FPS @ 1080p and +120FPS @ 1440p.
