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


Interesting, Raja effectively says it, Intel have been in an uphill struggle learning to build drivers to overcome scenarios they have never encountered before with iGPU offerings, dealing with bottlenecks and complications that weren't even a gleam of a consideration previously.
 
how can they be valid when almost no one will be taking their graphics card apart, unless it's an NVidia FE card

so they made truck(s) to promote the cards but will only sell them in tiny volume? makes sense
They didn't make trucks, they spent on marketing and built a few PCs that they can just use afterwards. Not indicative of any kind of volume, this is just fluff.

they made a truck to go on tour to advertise a product MLD claims is cancelled, now won't be supplied to hardly anywhere.

people still lap up any crap he comes out with even though he's a known click bait bser
 
@humbug It's funny seeing that picture and thinking of the ending of Interstellar of time travel how the mind can try to process that.

"Imagine that feeling not seeing a person for about 80 years and then he shows up in the same age as he left..."

"This will happen upon death, this scene has some eerily similitude of when somone is about to pass on... for instance Cooper comes to visit her and everyboday around her dont really aknowledge him only his daughter, who by the nature of the scene is on the verge of passing on to the next life..."

It, yeah..... Its a 3D space but you can't quite believe its actually there at that scale, until you keep flying under normal thrusters, it takes time but it gets bigger and bigger and..... until eventually you're in those clouds and there it is. There is no instancing, there are no loadscreens, nothing its there in real time, a huge ##### planet.

The scale is massive and the level of detail with it. i do a bit of game development purely as a hobby, i can't even begin to imaging the amount of work and technical difficulty involved.

I don't care about MLID, he is clearly making **** up and managed to build a living off it. What I'm telling you is that minor marketing spend is not indicative of anything as it relates to the product launch itself or the volume it will ship. Until they start shipping at least AMD's volume all I'm seeing from ARC is investor fluff and misleading narratives. To me, on the client market, all I see from ARC is nothing more than what we saw from DG1&2 - an irrelevant footnote in the GPU space.
 
The numbers from reviews and the size of the chip have me thinking the 770 could end up ~3070 TI performance after a ~year (DX12/Vulcan) of driver updates. I still would not recommend them, the only users that should buy them are ones that know what to expect and are willing to take the risk as performance might not improve much. The next gen should be interesting but will probably still have a long way to go with drivers. I don’t think they will ever get old games(API's) up to AMD/NV levels.
 
If they were £100 cheaper, I think it would be a gamble a few people would be willing to take.

As it stands though - it's a hard no

They should have planned losses into the market research for the first gen. Like you say; £100 less and people would gamble and then through sheer numbers, their drivers would improve quicker. Setting the pricing level with an already established competition is short sighted imo
