Intel is talking up its incoming Arc graphics cards, and that’s hopefully a good sign for the imminent launch.
Intel will be working hard towards the goal of getting ‘millions’ of its incoming Arc graphics cards to PC gamers every year, according to a tweet from an exec. Raja Koduri, who is chief architect of the graphics arm at Intel, made the comment in a tweet replying to a PC Gamer article which was an open letter to the chip giant. The letter pointed out the reality of the sky-high pricing of GPUs in the current duopoly, with the hope being that Intel can bring some much-needed competitiveness to the scene. As Dave James of PC Gamer put it: “You don’t need to have the most powerful new GPU to release the best graphics card of 2022, you just need it to perform competitively and be priced at a level that doesn’t make us wish you’d at least bought us dinner first.” As you can see, Koduri acknowledged that this is a “huge issue for PC gamers”, which it most certainly is – and one we’ve been banging on about ourselves for a good long while – and that Team Blue wants to work towards getting “millions of Arc GPUs into the hands of PC gamers every year.
