Intel Lowers ARC A750 Pricing towards $250, adds bundle and claim driver fine wine
Intel is lowering prices for its Arc A750 graphics card, now starting at $249, down from its original launch price of $289.
The card, which is designed for high-performance gaming at 1080p, has improved in performance by 43% since its launch in DirectX 9 titles, according to Intel. The A750 features 3,584 shaders, 8 GB of GDDR6 memory, and has a typical board power of 225 W. It also supports DirectX 12 Ultimate and has regular driver updates for big game releases. The card is made with 6 nm ACM-G10 silicon and comes with 8-pin and 6-pin PCIe power connectors and modern display outputs, including HDMI 2.0 and DisplayPort 2.1. Intel has been working to improve the performance of popular DirectX 9 titles over the past few months and has recently shared the results of its efforts. So far, they have added XeSS support to more than 35 games and plan to add more in the future.
The starting price for the graphics card is $249, and custom-designed boards are expected to be sold for under $300. Intel is also offering two games, "Nightingale" and "The Settlers: New Allies," as a bundle with pre-built desktop computers that have 12th or 13th Gen Core desktop processors and Arc A750 graphics cards.

I haven't seen any specifics, but i'd honestly be surprised if intel wasn't. Intel did what nvidia did, put ray tracing hardware into the GPU, whereas AMD has yet to do so.
Edit: looking at benchmarks that would appear to be the case, the A770, price wise, would go up against the 6600/XT

You can't make fine wine out of vinegar.

They're also smoothing out the frametimes apparently, which is better than just getting higher framerates. Imagine them getting to the point where things just work so relatively soon

Is intel outperforming AMD when it comes to raytracing already? I haven't seen these stats, if it's true that's bad news for AMD and Nvidia. Good news for us the consumer.
