[Lowest Logan] I ran PS3 games on PS5 silicon to prove Sony wrong

Am I the only one who is really disappointed by the Arc B580, considering its huge 272mm size?
I've been following the Intel Arc B580 with interest, and while the early reviews have been very positive, I can't shake a feeling of disappointment. The card's massive 272mm size on the 4nm TSMC node seems excessive, especially considering its competition like the RTX 4060, which is significantly smaller at around 150mm². Given its size and wider 192-bit memory bus, you would expect much higher performance. I'm not really sure how sustainable this $250 price point is for Intel, even if they can't keep up with demand.
Recent leaks and rumors suggest that the B580's performance might be closer to AMD's upcoming Navi 44 (RX 8600), which is expected to be significantly smaller at around 130mm². Heck, this might be as big as the 8800XT for close to double the performance.
Dont get me wrong. I'm happy for the price of card, but I wonder if im missing something obvious here. any thoughts?

Direct3D Feature Level 12_3
It has been about 5 years since the first GPUs with Direct3D Feature Level 12_2 hit the market.
When will we get Direct3D Feature Level 12_3 GPUs? Has Feature Level 12_3 been defined yet? What kind of GPU architectural features can we expect to be mandated by 12_3 ?

Lisa Su: When you invest in a new area, it is a five- to 10-year arc
In her Time "CEO of the Year" interview, Lisa Su said this:
[Lisa] predicts the specialized AI chip market alone will grow to be worth $500 billion by 2028—more than the size of the entire semiconductor industry a decade ago. To be the No. 2 company in that market would still make AMD a behemoth. Sure, AMD won’t be overtaking Nvidia anytime soon. But Su measures her plans in decades. “When you invest in a new area, it is a five- to 10-year arc to really build out all of the various pieces,” she says. “The thing about our business is, everything takes time.”
Intel's board of directors really needs to see that and internalize it. Firing Gelsinger after 4yrs for a turnaround project with a 5-10yr arc is idiotic. It's clear that Intel's biggest problem is its short-termist board of directors who have no idea what it takes to run a bleeding edge tech company like Intel.

Intel ARC B580 12GB Review - Just the Benchmarks
19:48 UTC
Am I the only one that thinks the B580 is pretty mediocre?
In most benchmarks I have seen it seems like it is about as strong as a 6700 xt. Since AMD was selling these cards based on a 4 year old architecture for $300 a while ago, wouldn't AMD be able to easily beat Intel with RDNA4? Especially since they are solely focusing on budget and midrange cards.
