The next generation of consoles - not the refreshes - are expected around 2027. So far AMD have provided both CPU and GPU to both Sony and Microsoft, to their considerable profit. But by that time Intel will have had 3 generations of Arc under its belt. That will have given them a track record as suppliers of both CPU and GPU. So I wonder, will Intel be looking to replace AMD in the console space? Might we get an Intel-based PS6 and an AMD-based Xbox?
Is Intel making a play for the console market with Arc?
Right now, but it's a first generation product, as much a proof of concept as anything else. By the time the next consoles are launched it will be their third generation.
