		treprinum 8 months ago \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Intel announces Arc B-series "Battlemage" discrete... 4080 won't do video due to low RAM. The GPU doesn't have to be as fast there, it can be 5x slower which is still way faster than a CPU. And Intel can iterate from there.

It won't be 5x slower, it would be 20-50x slower if you would implement it as you said.

You can't just "add more ram" to GPUs and have them work the same way. Memory access is completely different than on CPUs.
