Intel's $249 Arc B580 is the GPU we've begged for since the pandemic | PCWorld (www.pcworld.com)

If even half of Intel's claims are true, this could be a big shake up in the midrange market that has been entirely abandoned by both Nvidia and AMD.

... That's nuts. I only just graduated to a mini from a pi, I didnt consider a dual GPU setup. Arbitrary budget aside, I should have added an "idle power" constraint too. Reasonable to assume that as soon as LLMs get involved all concept of "power efficient" goes out the window. Don't mind me, just wishing for a unicorn.

Strix Halo is your unicorn, idle power should be very low (assuming AMD VCE is OK over quicksync)
