Really looking forward to seeing these. I have tempered my expectations though. As long as they launch before there rivals next generation, otherwise it'll be a blood bath.

Let's hope that "soon" has the same meaning for us. How many times we heard "soon" "delayed" about Intel's ARC?
Just venting ... The third dedicated GPU player can't enter the market soon enough.

If those are real MSRP I don't see how they're going to sell well...

@Silva
I asume as much, but for some it will be a solution nevertheless. In this GPU market, anything is possible and if it is available, it is bought.
However, IF Intel delays those even more, you argument stands even still. More time for availability and prices going down.

I wonder if this is a paper launch, like Arc for laptops.

If A750 does match 3060 and the card can be bought for the MSRP, no more, it would be cheaper than what 3060 is going for over here. I've heard in the USA you can already get cards for the MSRP, but in my corner of Europe, they (at least the useful cards) still carry an ugly premium: 3060 is sitting where 3060 Ti should be price wise, and thus naturally 3060 Ti is ever more expensive. No need to mention the prices of the higher models.
Do I expect the Intel cards to stick strictly to the MSRP over here? Nah. I would be surprised. In the USA, they might if they come in large enough numbers.

Intels first foray into discrete GPUs, so even if they get trounced by their rivals, its a historic first step. We can ignore these cards for now but lets look to what they can achieve in 3-5 years from now.

Only in Korea. 😀

"Could" is the key words.
Hopefully so.

The RTX 3080 was "expected to be $699". Need I say more? Intel's Xe 3080 equivalent is now rumored to be coming in at $800-$900, so Intel is not going to be the gpu savior everyone thinks/hopes they will be. Why would Intel, of all companies, come in at a lower price point when the status quo is to rape, pillage and plunder the gaming masses? Toss inflation, tariffs, shipping delays, the war in Ukraine, into the mix and you have the perfect storm in the making. Get a third job and hold on boys it's going to be a bumpy ride. https://media4.giphy.com/media/xT5LMzH8MdQNeUMdlS/200.gif?cid=ecf05e47t898qf0li77kkfuwcy3hg8164us80ns4tg2j8gow&rid=200.gif&ct=g

i will see this generation from distance,i hope the best for pricing, aviability and performance. But first generations are always problematic

Anyone else confused about how next-gen parts are supposed to be named? Perhaps they'll just add a 4th digit.
Also, I am so sick of the announcements for announcements. This doesn't help build hype when Intel:
A. is notorious for releasing underwhelming or even outright bad GPUs
B. has delayed the release multiple times
C. has Raja backing the project
D. The to-be-announced products top out at 3060 performance
I want this to succeed but it's getting really hard to care lately.

This is not their first foray into discrete GPUs. They tried before in 1998. They announced it and hyped it for over a year and it was horrible.

So many stuff coming up. Star Citizen is releasing soon as well.
Undying
Thats a joke right? 😛
XenthorX
You tell me 😀

technically its the 3rd time, intel released some trash gpu in the late 90s, then they tried again with larabee , that gpu was completed but never released, eventually repurposed as xeon phi. interesting note: the project leader for larrabee was pat gelsinger (current intel ceo), just before he left intel and its cancelation is probably why he left.
XenthorX
It's not like they started from nothing given they've had their integrated GPU for a while.
alanm
Yeah, overlooked Larrabee, but still this is Intels biggest, most serious attempt in the discrete GPU market yet. Far more resources are being devoted this time around and I dont think they are in a position to cancel any time soon. I think will likely continue for at least a few more years to see how far they can go with it before throwing in the towel.

Hmmmmm...so these Intel GPUs compare to nothing made by AMD...? And we might see them "sometime this summer"? I don't think these GPUs are going to actually be comparable with anything shipping then, but we will see. Traditionally, Intel's D3d and other API drivers have never been much good with their IGPs, and that's as big a job, and as critically important, as designing and manufacturing the GPU. Internet Pundits made a much bigger fuss about Larrabee than Intel ever did, so I wasn't surprised when Intel pulled the plug and bailed before production began. Nothing on Earth at the time could ever have lived up to what the Internet pundits were claiming about Larrabee--"real-time ray tracer" and so on. That saga was really weird, and I was glad when it was over. Left a lot of the pundits with egg on their faces...;) It will be interesting to see what Raja's been up to for all of these years...
