Intel has hinted it will price these aggressively in order to take market share from AMD ( AMD ) and Nvidia ( NVDA ). Intel ( NASDAQ: INTC) is about to enter the graphics card market via its new GPU called Alchemist. It is also said that Intel might consider making their roadmap more aggressive so that the next launch is closer to AMD's and NVIDIA's next-gen parts rather than being half a year late.The idea is simple. The green team is rumored to launch their next-gen by end of 2022 so the mid-2023 DG3 launch means that NVIDIA will have a 6-month head start over them but Intel could tackle that by pricing their graphics cards correctly. AMD will be rehauling its Ryzen APUs with RDNA 2 GPU cores next month and that will deliver a huge performance uplift so Intel's true answer to them will come in 2023.Īs for competition, Intel, reportedly, doesn't even consider AMD as competition and their target with ARC Battlemange GPUs is said to be NVIDIA Ada Lovelace. It is said that Meteor Lake CPUs and onwards with next-gen ARC GPUs will leave AMD in the dust on the mobile platform.
This will also be the route for integrated graphics as we have already seen that Meteor Lake CPUs are getting a Tile design with separate CPU/GPU/SOC IPs. At least AMD is expected to offer a multi-chiplet graphics architecture with its RDNA 3 series and Intel might be the second GPU maker to go this route.
In fact, all the driver work that goes into DG2 GPUs is being done for the next generation of enthusiast offerings.Īn interesting quote from one of MLID's sources states that Intel could be researching a Tiled-GPU approach for its next-gen DG3 offerings. With that said, Intel feels a lot more confident in ARC now than ever and while 2022 is just the beginning, 2023 is going to be ARC's year from the looks of things. NVIDIA and AMD have worked years to optimize their current suite of gaming drivers and to get Intel's first discrete gaming GPUs on the same level as the competition is certainly a big deal. It is also stated that Intel's DG2 ARC Alchemist will offer the first true gaming drivers and that is its own initiative.
Think of it as what AMD had done with its first-generation RDNA (Navi 1x) graphics cards, aiming at the mid-tier segment first before going all out with RDNA 2 (Navi 2x) graphics cards. As you can tell, these aren't the enthusiast-level performance but for now, Intel wants the market share and you don't get those from enthusiast products but rather mainstream and entry-level options. The most that we have heard is that the ARC Alchemist A*** series will feature performance on par or slightly better than the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti and AMD Radeon RX 6800/6700 XT.
