A GPU using dies with 75% of the compute units disabled doesn't sound particularly sustainable. If Intel is going to "refresh" Alchemist, what it really needs is a less wasteful in-between die for the A550/580.

With a dedicated 16 Xe die, the hypothetical A550 would be what the A380 really should have been and a worthy contender around the $180 mark instead of $130.

Possibly for the Asian market.

Not too many games I can't at least run with an A380, a bit hit or miss on older titles. But anything with a modern API and low requirements, it does an okay job with.

$250 for an A580 and $200 for an A550 would fit alright.

$140 for an A380
$290 for an A750
$325 for an A770 (Triple fan, neat)

ACM-G10 has 32 Xe-Cores maximum, so this is "only" half disabled. There's also a pretty big gap between A380 and A580 still, which this could potentially fill.
