Could Intel DG2 the missing piece of the puzzle for ppc64le workstation?

Hasturtium:
Hey, that’s cool. I don’t think it’d be faster than the Radeon Pro W5500 I’m using now, though Arc supports raytracing. Who wants to jump on the grenade and see if 5.20, Arc, and ppc64le get along?

tle:
I am only interested in its capability of AV1 encoding/decoding + oneAPI

MPC7500:
Unfortunately, as expected, the performance of the card is laughable like any other Intel GPU. The only interesting thing is the price.

I dunno about laughable, it's just inconsistent. These are still raw drivers, especially on the OpenGL side. It's a little startling to see a Radeon 5500XT walk away from it so often - I don't feel bad about running a W5500 in my Blackbird. Nevertheless AV1 encode/decode, out-of-the-box OpenCL, raytracing support, and the low price point are pretty appealing. Maybe I'll stash one of these in a testbed x86_64 machine I'm thinking of putting together later this year and putting it through its paces in Linux.

MPC7500:
Okay for that price maybe not. But it won't get any better. But choice is always good.
