24GB is pointless on a card that probably wont be any faster than a 5060Ti, at best.

24GB is pointless on a card that probably wont be any faster than a 5060Ti, at best.

It's not unheard of for a professional card. For example:

RTX 2000 Ada Generation is slower than the RTX 3060 and has 16 GB
RTX 4000 SFF Ada Generation is slower than the RTX 3060 Ti and has 20 GB

These are similar to the 4060 and 4070 respectively, but limited to 70 Watts.

From what I could find online, Davinci Resolve is the only app that runs out of 12GB of VRAM.
The B580 seems to offer a mixed bag of performance in said app, which hovers between a 4060 and 4070.

On a similar, but different rumor mill, the Arc B770 is showing up in shipping manifests.
There is absolutely zero talk of a B380/B350/B310 when A3xx series stock is non-existant.
It's a shame because Arc A3xx was the only cheap way to add AV1 encode/decode on an AM4 X3D machine.

I agree 24GB will not help game performance.

From my point of view, Intel needs a path of entry into the AI market. An economically priced GPU with 24GB of memory may provide enough of an incentive for people to tune interference software for Intel hardware.

After the software ecosystem reaches the point where inference is running well, then selling more profitable datacenter GPUs designed for AI training becomes a possibility.
