Intel Teases a Dual-Fan Cooler Design for Arc Graphics Card in sky with 1,000 Intel drones

An Intel promotional film featuring a dual-fan cooler design for their upcoming Arc gaming graphics card with 1000 drones was just revealed.

In order to produce diverse shapes mid-air, the company deployed 1000 drones that were outfitted with lighting. One of the designs was a dual-fan desktop graphics card that bore a striking resemblance to the previously leaked design for DG2-512EU engineering sample.

The first Intel Arc "Alchemist" products are expected to debut in the first quarter of 2022, with the flagship desktop graphics card said to include 512 Execution Units paired with 16 GB GDDR6 RAM and be capable of delivering performance comparable to the RTX 3070 Ti. Intel is also working on an NVIDIA DLSS/AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution competitor dubbed XeSS, which will be included with the Arc series and will have hardware-accelerated raytracing capability as well.

Well, let's see them benchmarks as soon as those cards are available.
Maybe the introduction of Raja and his expertise could break the image of Intel slow iGPU /GPU.
Rather interesting times, maybe we will have 3 players in the GPU market finally.

Radja's work at amd was going to have a lot of features aswell, but it somehow never transpired and here we are with cards that never gotten what was promissed in the first place. But i guess when you can sell anyway, it all doesn't matter to anyone but those who lost their money.

This event is probably just a metaphor for sky high gpu prices.

Intel is gonna make serious money if this works. NVidia and AMD should be crying. Intel is already #1 at total sales. Imagine the addition of dGPUs on these charts!
