Intel's discrete graphics cards will not start at $200
Last week it was rumored that Intel's upcoming dedicated graphics cards, codenamed Arctic Sound, could become real price-goers, at least according to recent statements by chief architect and former AMD manager Raja Koduri. In an interview with the Russian YouTube channel PRO Hi-Tech he gave insights into Intel's plans with cards starting at 200 USD.
As it turns out, that is not correct. Raja Koduri has never told PRO Hi-Tech that Intel's discrete GPUs with graphics will start at $ 200. It is simply a translation error, as the interview was expected to be in English and not in Russian. In the meantime, Intel has spoken again and published an official statement by Raja Koduri on the subject.
Not everybody wants to buy a $ 500- $ 600 card, but there are enough people to buy those too - so that's a great market. So the strategy says it all, it costs $ 100, all the way to Data Center-class graphics with HBM memories and all, which will be expensive. We have to hit everything; it's just a matter of where do you start? The first one? The second one? The third one? And the strategy that we have within a period of roughly - let's call it 2-3 years - to have the full stack.
Raja Koduri, Intel

If it does not start at 200$ where does it start? At 400$ like competition? This generation we are f*cked with these prices.

Intel maybe skip over Nvidia with prices.

They want to hit every segment but then again, where does it start? Just like with nvidia first will come expensive showcase products then 100$ peasant cards. Its Intel afterall....

Oh well price is relative, depends what they will offer.

Overall, more competition, the better.
But there's a catch, Intel as already an discrete graphics architecture ready for production and manufacturing? Is this what Raja concocted until now?
If that's the case, let's see what they're offering.

There goes my TPU comment posted on Friday:
"As an Intel product, I can hardly believe this at this point, but hey, go along and we will see, good luck there."

Do we follow Tomshardware now? Even Toms stated that "NO RAJA Didn't say Intel would release a $200 GPU"

Kind of an odd statement for him to make. He didn't really say anything about what we should expect, but instead basically just listed the markets that will rake in the most cash for Intel. I guess if you're an investor, what he said is very appealing, but for everyone else it's like "we don't care how much money you make, we want something competitive".
Anyway - I'm sure Intel learned from their previous mistakes. Intel's near infinite funding and Raja's experience with GPUs will likely make this GPU competitive. Though, since this is Intel's first serious GPU (that is actually a GPU and not just a bunch of Atoms "bonded" together), I think it'll be best to wait for the 2nd generation, especially considering the drivers will be very immature.

So is this a real attempt at getting into competitive discrete graphics or are they just dipping their toes in the water again?
