Yeah, I was gonna say...GPUs have to be more significant today for general compute than they've ever been.

Okay, yeah, maybe you don't need one for CAD acceleration in 2024, but that has to be a vanishingly small thing compared to parallel compute on stuff like AI work.

How many people even do CAD? Most users use Word\Excel\Browser of choice. That's i3 of 12 gen Intel.

I point out they hit the minority of users who are needed to be hit with that, those who produce weapons and propaganda, those who need advanced graphics to render stuff.

ed: One can play popular multiplayer games with gen12 integrated Intel CPU or an according AMD chip alone.
