RIP Arc
- You can blame me. Just like washing a car, I just bought a B580.
  
  It definitely didn't help that I bought a Pro B50 which shipped yesterday. My bad, everyone.
Until the last few years of Intel falling on its face and Nvidia mopping up cash with crypto I would have never expected that Intel would turn into an underdog. This also sucks because now Intel won't be competing in the GPU space, bringing it back to just AMD and Nvidia.
Guess we're back to AMD only for Linux then.
I remember when AMD bought out ATI
Fucking great. $800 Arc B580's with proprietary drivers that are shit for Linux.
- IOMMU support: Broken
  SR-IOV: Just gone.
  Thanks nVidia.
There goes any chance Intel had at competing in data-center AI processors.
Well, fuck.
Is it for integrated graphics?
