For decades, Intel has been a champion for PC platform innovation. We have delivered generations of CPUs that provide the computing horsepower for billions of people. We advanced connectivity through ... Intel Officially Announces Arc A-series Graphics
The control interface looks really good. Also love it does not require a login. hardly anyone is excited by laptop GPU's including myself but I do like what I am seeing software side. Decoupling the game optimizations from the core drives is really nice.
Finally, we have a new Major player in the GPU market. This is exciting for the whole industry and most importantly - the consumer.
Yes it's exciting. I just hope they don't release proprietary technologies that then are injected into some games to promote them, and is then considered as a "major/must have" thing. So we don't end up spending more time talking about that extra feature only Intel would have, instead of "the basics".
But thats a jun-july for a mobile when will desktop parts come out and will it be too late when competition is ready to release already a next gen. I like that market is heating up we will all benefit from that. End of the year could be great after all this madness last year and half.
The gains look pretty good for the lowest tier already, compared to Intel's previous generation, assuming those Intel slides are trustworthy. The better tiers ought to be quite decent. But of course I don't really care about laptop GPUs. You can draw some predictions from this, though, I believe. It's much too early to try to claim anything for sure, but Intel could be offering something worthwhile once the real graphics cards hit the store shelves. Let's hope it's store shelves and not miner (rack) shelves.
They wont. The developers would flip out. In fact the development community likely will start putting pressure they all follow standards. It will cost too much to develop and optimize for three different GPU makers. That's the beauty of three players.
Shame that XeSS won't support other GPU manufacturers at launch. But what matters is that we'll have more competition and this is likely to increase performance or lower prices.
With so few players and intel manufacturing nvidia chips, I can only see gentlemen's agreements and price manipulations of some kind. Don't hold your breath.
Not really. In their slides they showed the 6700XT wining some, losing others and a tie in others. Nothing like the beat down, they show the 6500M doing to the A370M. It's probably real. Intel loves to compare their hardware to the competition. The fact that they only compared to their own Iris gpus is probably an indication of not being competitive with current offerings from AMD and nVidia.
For the most part, AMD showed the 6700xt right where it is, a card that beats, such as in assassins creed valhala, and loses, to the 3070. While there were outliers like hitman 3 that amd showed they beat the 3070 that i didnt see reviews confirming, it wasnt by a large margin and maybe the day they tested it, it did. But realistically, AMD showed the 6700xt right where it was in its announcement slides.
