not when it's intel with their policy of ditching driver compatibility for things they deem “too old”

Think they do occasionally relent.

Pretty sure when I got my newly used ThinkPad T540p the useless Intel Wireless didn't have Win10 support despite only coming out a few months before. Ended up changing to a Realtek (yes, Intel get all the hype for networking but Realtek actually offer support), but recently saw that Lenovo now have Win10 drivers for the Intel one. So maybe Intel deemed it not to be “too old”, or at least long enough to update the drivers.

But yes, Intel and graphic drivers: well stable and never updated again is not viable in the GPU market.

4.67GB of VRAM ? I'm trying to fathom what this is about. I can't split it by a number of EUs, channels or memory chips in a way that makes sense to me. Perhaps something like 4GB + 4.5M per EU?

It's likely 6 or 8GB vram, opencl won't get access to all of the vram if it's also being used for displaying graphics.

Since I only have an RX560 on my SFF desktop, and it's a ~75 watt card (no plug needed), I'm interested to see the next couple higher models in the line, if they stay within bus power limits. I'd rather see an APU that could do better, but either way it's interesting to see them go after the low end with something more efficient.

Geekbench is happy to report exactly 6 GB of ram for my 980ti

Though their Linux policy of documenting the programming specs for GPUs has been pretty awesome. The reference Vulkan driver was on Intel for that reason.

But I do game in Windows, and they have a lot of driver trust to make up with me there.
