AMD's Next Gen Arcturus GPU Is UNREAL, 10th Gen Desktop Pricing! In a recent video, the discussion centered around AMD's promising new Arcturus GPU, Intel's forthcoming 10th Gen desktop CPUs, and the recently troubled GeForce Now service. Let’s break down the key details from this insightful presentation.

GeForce Now's Struggles​

The video kicks off by highlighting the significant challenges faced by Nvidia's cloud gaming service, GeForce Now. After losing support from notable game developers like Activision Blizzard and Bethesda, the platform is experiencing a drastic reduction in available games, leaving only a few titles like Wolfenstein Youngblood. Despite Nvidia claiming a promising future with over 1500 new games on the horizon, the recent setbacks have cast doubt on the viability of their cloud gaming strategy .

Intel's 10th Gen CPUs Preview​

Attention then shifts towards Intel’s upcoming 10th Gen CPUs, specifically the i9 10900 model, which had its performance benchmarks shared in the video. Though early results show promising single and multi-core scores, expectations are tempered due to the engineering sample's lower clock speeds. The following specs were reported:
  • Cinebench R15: Single-Core Score of 182, Multi-Core Score of 1670
  • Cinebench R20: Single-Core Score of 441, All Core Score of 3714
  • CPU-Z: Single-Core Score of 578, Multi-Core Score of 5343
As the video emphasizes, these scores reflect a tentative performance landscape, especially compared with Intel's existing CPUs. Concerns over thermal performance at relatively low clock speeds suggest that the final retail version of the i9 10900 could provide a more accurate depiction of Intel's competitive landscape against AMD .

The Arcturus GPU Specs​

The Arcturus GPU emerges as a fascinating player in AMD's upcoming products. The video mentions that this GPU is anticipated to boast:
  • Memory: 32 GB of HBM2
  • TDP: 200 watts
What's noteworthy is its absence of a 3D engine, indicating that this product may not be aimed at traditional gaming but rather at computational power needs, potentially yielding around 100 teraflops of computational power . This alignment plays into AMD's strategy of distinguishing its gaming and computational architectures, which could have significant implications for their market positioning against Intel’s burgeoning X e architecture for gaming.

Conclusion​

This informative session leaves viewers pondering about the future of both AMD and Intel in an ever-evolving tech landscape. Which innovations are you most excited about?
