    Honestly I don’t even care if it’s half as fast as a 4070, that’s fast enough for me.

    In workstation workloads, some stuff just will not run unless you have a ton of VRAM, and running slower is fine. Or in other cases, you get a gigantic speedup from the virtue of simply having tons of VRAM. That’s the value, not pure core speed compared to some 8GB GPU.

    But I am not deluding myself, the core performance is in the ballpark of a laptop 7700S: https://www.notebookcheck.net/AMD-Radeon-RX-8060S-Benchmarks-and-Specs.942049.0.html

    It’s also (on paper) slower than my desktop 3090, but in practice, an order of magnitude faster for stuff that struggles to fit on the 3090.

      You’re the one who’s trying to argue its power, and then when presented with a better option you say “it’s fast enough for me.”

      Have you seen benchmarks comparing the performance of this iGPU to dGPUs?

      Please share.

          What benchmarks are you seeing that are telling you this is a better deal than the alternatives?

          Come on, you can be specific so I don’t have to assume what you’re talking about.
