Why you can trust Pocket-lint (Pocket-lint) – Intel has announced that the company will be entering the discrete graphics space, making dedicated GPUs for both desktops and laptops starting in 2022. Being branded as Intel Arc, the company plans on directly competing with the likes of Nvidia and AMD in the ever-expanding PC gaming realm. I say gaming and not video editing,3D rendering nor crypto-mining because based off the initial announcement, Intel is making it clear that this new GPU brand is being positioned to go head-to-head as a viable video game option under the venerable Intel brand name. The first set of Arc based GPUs are set to arrive in Q1 2022 and are dubbed under the codename Alchemist. While it’s currently unclear if Intel is initially aiming to position these GPUs against the most high-end market competitors or rather compete for space in the middle and lower tiers – either way, the company looks to hit the market with bringing along some decently luxury features.
