The launch of Intel ARC has been a catastrophe ever since the first boards were released in China. While Intel is full force damage control trying to get some of that R&D money back with lots of SKUs, dark clouds are hovering their GPUs.

Intel's release is not only mismanaged by a complete media blackout aside from some US-based media (EU media has been completely blocked with no communication whatsoever on ARC), restricting the products to China, bug riddled software, and mediocre performance. Igor's Lab says Intel's Arc graphics cards are pretty much doomed. 

The board partners are causing the greatest difficulties. According to their sources, at least one major AIB is ending Arc graphics card manufacture "because to quality problems." and whatever that means is unclear. 

Intel's Arc Alchemist discrete GPUs haven't been a success. Most tech journalists have been cautious and sympathetic with Intel's new consumer business, especially because graphics cards were scarce. 

"At least one" large AIB has chosen to stop making Intel Arc graphics cards. Wallossek said this move is unrelated to the other concerns. We still haven't seen any products released from Asus, Gigabyte, or MSI, the main three AIBs. ASRock's Arc A380 product pages and China retail availability debuted yesterday.
