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.

I'm cautiously optimistic.

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!

IMO, Intel has broken that reputation going all the way back to their original Iris graphics, which was I think released in 2014. People just associate Intel graphics as being crappy because their GPUs were never built with gaming in mind, but they have made genuinely good GPUs for a long while. Xe basically took all of the good attributes of Intel's GPUs (great performance-per-watt, relatively low memory bandwidth, great video transcoding support, multiple 4K monitor support, etc) and then bumped up 3D rasterization performance to levels gamers wanted to see.
Meanwhile as a Linux user, Intel's driver support has been fantastic for years. Linux hardly ever benefits from application-specific optimizations and the existing Xe drivers for it are pretty polished, so it shouldn't feel like a first-gen product to Linux users. So long as the pricing and availability is good, I'll most likely get one.
Nvidia has nothing to worry about for a long while. Even if Intel releases something with better performance-per-watt and performance-per- (even in DXR games), Nvidia will still have not much to worry about.
AMD could have something to worry about; RNDA2 will most likely be inferior but their next-gen stuff might only be par.
Maybe the introduction of Raja and his expertise could break the image of Intel slow iGPU /GPU.

Well, let's see them benchmarks as soon as those cards are available.

Rather interesting times, maybe we will have 3 players in the GPU market finally.
