7/19/2023 0 Comments Intel gpusWe've contacted Intel and several GPU manufacturers to see if they had anything to share on the matter the short version is no-Intel has no news on release dates. Advertisementįurther Reading Intel’s Arc GPUs will compete with GeForce and Radeon in early 2022Ī long, conspiratorial video from YouTuber Moore's Law is Dead goes even farther, suggesting (using a combination of "internal sources" and speculation) that people in Intel's graphics division are "lying" to consumers and others in the company about the state of the GPUs, that the first-generation Alchemist architecture has fundamental performance-limiting flaws, and that Intel is having internal discussions about discontinuing Arc GPUs after the second-generation "Battlemage" architecture. And while the company is making some efforts to own those problems, a combination of performance issues, timing, and financial pressures could threaten Arc's future. Regardless of the company's plans for future architectures, Arc's launch has been messy. Breaking into a mature market is difficult, and experience with integrated GPUs isn't always applicable to dedicated GPUs with more complex hardware and their own pool of memory. But the challenges of entering the GPU market haven't changed since the late 2000s. Larrabee was canceled late in its development because of delays and disappointing performance, and Arc GPUs are actual things that you can buy (if only in a limited way, for now). Sure, the GPUs wouldn't compete with top-tier GeForce and Radeon cards, but they would address the crucial mainstream GPU market, and high-end cards would follow once the brand was more established.Īll of that makes Arc a lot more serious than Larrabee, Intel's last effort to break into the dedicated graphics market. Intel sought to prove its commitment to Arc by showing off a years-long road map, with four separate named GPU architectures already in the pipeline.
