As AI models continue to advance in complexity (and memory requirements), a DRAM crisis is making it impossible for many to secure a capable GPU for their local AI needs, even as one option seems largely ignored: Intel's Arc Pro B70.
A mid-range GPU with oodles of VRAM
Most consumers do not consider Intel a GPU maker, associating...
