Comment on China's first real gaming GPU is here, and the benchmarks are brutal
orclev@lemmy.world 3 days agoSounds like it’s about equivalent to Intel’s latest GPU. Both are running about a little over a generation behind AMD and Nvidia. Meanwhile Nvidia is busy trying to kill their consumer GPU division to free up more fab space for data center GPUs chasing that AI bubble. AMD meanwhile has indicated they’re not bothering to even try to compete with Nvidia on the high end but rather are trying to land solidly in the middle of Nvidia’s lineup. More competition is good but it seems like the two big players currently are busy trying to not compete as best they can, with everyone else fighting for their scraps. The next year or two in the PC market are shaping up to be a real shit show.

Which seems wildly shortsighted, like surely the AI space is going to find some kind of more specialized hardware soon, sort of like how crypto moved to ASICs. But I guess bubbles are shortsighted…
The crazy part is outside LLMs the other (actually useful) AI does not need that much processing power, more than you or I use sure but notthing that would have justified gigantic data centers.
Debatable. The basics of an llm might not need much, but the actual models do need it to be anywhere near decent or usefull. Im talking minutes for a simple reply.
Source: ran few <=5b models on my system with ollama yesterday and gave it access to a mcp server to do stuff with
Yes, my whole post was that non-LLMs take far less processing power.
I suppose Chinese might quickly catch on. They certainly don’t lack resources.

Sounds like it’s more than “a little over one generation behind” if it benchmarks near an Nvidia card released 14 years ago??

It's roughly a human generation behind.

I was basing that on the quote saying it rivals a 4060.

According to the article, the actual performance is on par with a GTX 660 Ti
orclev@lemmy.world 3 days ago
Eh, maybe. The actual performance seems to be unknown. They’re assuming the geekbench score is legitimate, but there’s no way to really know exactly how well it will do when it actually ships. It’s probably safe to assume somewhere between the two, but either way it’s not competing with current gen AMD or Nvidia cards, and might not even be competing with current Intel GPUs.

Maybe you should read more than 1 paragraph before commenting. And in general.

Maybe you should stop assuming things before commenting. And in general. You might also want to reread the article you seem to have skipped some important details.
