Gururu I don't get it. Why is the Arc mentioned in the title when the article says it won't be implemented until next gen GPUs? Reply

dmitche31958 Thank you for the summarization from all of us ignorant people whom without wouldn’t understand much if any of this. :). Reply

Because it is already boosting performance without being implemented in hardware, so why shouldn't they mention it?! Also they mentioned nvidia as well, I'm just guessing but nvidia is probably getting lower improvement because they are already much faster to begin with. Using SER, Nvidia GPUs saw a 40% boost in performance while some Intel Arc B-series GPUs got up to 90% more FPS. This feature, now being standardized, means we can potentially see Intel and AMD implement their own hardware-level SER in next-gen GPUs. Reply

Oh wait a minute, so it is working with our games already? That'd be amazing, but I don't know how to verify. Reply

  • Volatility remains possible near catalysts
  • Macro rates and liquidity can dominate flows
