Caporegime
You were right and hats off to you, i would like to point out that ARC is made on TSMC 6nm, if it was made on Intel's own it would have been much worse than it already is.
I had similar concerns that turned out to be true but for different reasons, my concern was Raja Kudori and his team, his brain child at AMD was Vega, arguments were made that Vega was bad because of AMD, that Raja is in fact a genius but because AMD don't have much money so his GPU's could never reach their full potential.
I pointed out that after Raja was let go by AMD Lisa took her Ryzen team to what was left of the Radeon team and fixed Vega in just a few months, they sorted out most of its problems and relaunched the architecture with a 50% performance per watt improvement, in just a few months with Raja out they turn a dog in to something that was actually pretty decent.
ARC looks suspiciously like Vega, it has similar problems with software, only much worse, it has pretty much exactly the same performance per watt and per die area problems Vega had, it even has the same quirky performance characteristics in the same games that Vega had, its Raja's Vega Mk2. Its an Intel Vega. AMD should probably be suing....
