In the current market, the A580 doesn’t look to be very attractive, compared to other intel gpus.
But something very interesting is 8GB of vram at under 200$. In this market where nvidia puts all the vram in AI gpus, it’s a nice number to see.
Hopefully intel battlemage (next intel gen) can disrupt the market with true competition.
A sub $200 card with AV1 encoding/decoding does sound like an interesting possiblity.
There’s already the A380 for like $100 and apparently there’s an A310 for around that price as well. They don’t perform very well for gaming though, the A3A80 is a bit worse than an RX 580 afaik.
