Yeah with the more positive feelings surrounding Arc now, Intel will be keen to go in at a higher price and keep it there this time.
None of these companies are friends of the people.
Second hand market will continue to be where I live.
It launched at £450 which at the time was if not more expensive then the same price as the RTX 3060 while being the same performance as the at the time £300 RX 6600.
Intel had the cheek to go after Nvidia in their marketing playing to our sentiments that they are too expensive and then priced a slower card the same, at the same time pretended AMD didn't exist with £150 cheaper equivalent cards.
It was at that moment that my enthusiasm for Intel being a third player died instantly.
Idiotic tech jurnoes are yet again to blame for this over pricing of Intel's GPU's now too, they didn't challenge Intel's pricing and glossed over the performance and problems.
Even now when they talk about the A770 as being good value, often even class them as the best value completely ignore the RX 6650XT for £50 less, its almost as if they agree with Intel that the inconvenience who are AMD need to be ignored because if you acknowledge their existence you have absolutely nothing to offer.
Intel just hope AMD go away so they don't have to compete with them. I get the feeling a lot of tech jurnoes feel the same way.
