Can I actually buy this? Should I prefer it over Blackwell?

Next the tokens will be asking for tequila and caviar. Bow down to the new token overloads.

They originally said it was going to be 120GB but that partners could ship bigger capacities. So much for that!

I do hope this has a price point that makes it somewhat competitive with a Mac! Consumers have had nearly no choices available for mem capacity, and 20 channels of lpddr5 is one way to get that capacity! Go Intel!

Looks like Intel is choosing to title its new crescent island cards with the D prefix despite being Crescent Island.

Kind of disappointed that Intel is (probably) not going to release consumer class GPUs. Intel's driver stack was seriously getting mature—both on Linux and Windows. It's always nice to have a third option available.
