So, the RTX 3080 12 GB just came out, i guess

 

SiSoftware score for the 512 EU model places it around the rtx 3070 Ti

Tho the single precision compute, mostly used in games, is quite a bit lower.

GDDR7 doesn't exist.

 

No one said it already exists. If its ready then it will go on the cards apparently. No one believed the GDDR6x rumors for Ampere either...

Takeaways ....

Intel speaks about their RT design architecture and states Intel's RT architecture primarily focuses on DXR 1.0, not the DXR 1.1 minimalist approach. (timestamp 3:37)

This approach is very similar to Nvidia in focusing on divergent ray tracing workloads, though mention as ray count increases Alchemist architecture handles it more gracefully and competitor 1 (Nvidia) sees less performance while competitor 2 (AMD) experiences huge drops in performance.
