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

If true that would surely eclipse anything either AMD or Nvidia have done in terms of anti-consumer practices. Can't believe that is actually the case, hopefully just a misunderstanding from someone.
 
So it seems these cards will only work with Intel mobos (not AMD) according to video cards this afternoon

Absolutely cannot see that being true. Would be the biggest own goal I can remember for a long, long time.

lol :cry:
AMD hasn't done anything anti-consumer, FYI!!

Intel anti-competitive. Why would you be surprised? Really?!


It's in its DNA :D

I can't see that being true, it would be commercial suicide.

or a reason for a new class action lawsuit ;)

I cannot spot the article in question; do you have a link? I wonder if this means that they are PCIe v5 devices? Then they'll downrate to v4 or v3 speeds on older motherboards but indeed only operate at full speed on new Intel motherboards.

I mean, this is Intel... :o Although i doubt they'd want to reduce their target audience/capacity to make money.

I would've thought it would be more likely that there would be some sort of hardware tie up that gives you better performance on an Intel mobo if anything.
 
I would love to be excited about this release, but i think i would be very wary at the start/on release due to drivers etc.

Anyone think it is likely that Intel will have an incredibly stable/issue free driver straight off the bat? I have my doubts.
