Not only will they always have iGPUs, but also cannot give up on advancing their datacenter AI GPUs (the next being Jaguar Shores). They need both of those far more than consumer or prosumer dGPUs, but that means they are committed to Big GPU work and Small GPU work.

Since they will have both of those big and small "bookends" of GPU architectures, it is a question of whether they see benefits in maintaining an accessible foothold in the midmarket ecosystem. I could make an argument for both sides of that, but obviously the decision is not up to me.

> What do you mean, are they still making GPUs?

There was recent talk of them pulling back from the consumer segment, though obviously the leaks have also predicted Battlemage not being a thing so go figure: https://youtu.be/NYd2meJumyE?t=638 (timestamped)

That said, them not releasing a B770 in the consumer segment also sucks, since there are games and use cases that the B580 comes in a bit short for.

Honestly, I dont even care if its slower than just getting a 5090, just being able to run models my 3080 cannot handle would be a welcome change.
