Intel Arc series unveiled with the Alchemist dGPU to arrive in Q1 2022

Intel may well stand a chance as it one major advantage over Nvidia and AMD, in that, Intel does not just design there ships they also make them, whereas AMD and Nvidia have to outsource to TSMC or Samsung to get there chips.

As Intel make there own chips they have greater control over the price and so can offer better margins, to AIBs, and retailers, and with Intels financial clout they can more than compete with Nvidia and AMD on special offers and discounts.

The next GPU war will not be fought on performance, alone, but on price to performance, and Intel seems to see this more clearly than Nvidia, we will have to wait on AMD until 03/11, and Intel have also sought the middle gorund in the GPU market from the outset, so it does not matter if Nvidias RTX 4090 is the best card, if the majority are not going to buy it.

If the claims on the Arc A770 hold up then Intel is planting its flag in the key battle ground, the mid-range market, months before Nvidia and possibley AMD, iand if it wins here then most likely Intel will back Arc into an expansion to the High End market and then we will have serious competition, and as AMD did with Ryzen seen more innovation and price competition.

In the end though it depends on the how well the Arc A750 and A770 perform in comparison to there current competition, and we only have to wait a week or so.
 
WCCFTech are reporting that Intel are going to allow their Arc GPUs to be used in datacentres.


This is important from a CUDA perspective because Nvidia's professional GPUs are much more expensive.

Intel's GPU's are on TSMC 6nm.
 
Thanks, thought they were manufactured inhouse.



Intel haven't had much luck developing their own nodes over the last few years, they are some way behind people like TSMC, if ARC was on their own node it would be even larger, and worse. :)

I'll assume TSMC are also making meteor lake?

It's not just drivers though. GN in their video have said they saw issues with no display at boot, this is before any drivers even load so there is an inherent problem going on and it seems either Intel need to do more testing or allow early adopters to do the beta testing for them...

Such issues should never be in production cards but it seems this is what's happening.
 
TLDW: Great performance when it works but poor drivers with major issues. And DX12 only, really.
