Intel ARC GPUs incoming

[TheMimic1]

Intel ARC GPU is coming in 2022 to compete with Nvidia and Radeon graphi cards, how do you feel about this? Even if bear market don't exists in first quarter of 2022 won't this ease the problem of GPU scarcity and insane price on GPUs?

Now everybody wants manufacture gpu
3dfx also anounced something intel.
I think it is good as longg as it can mine coins i dont care who manufactures.just need only coins and efficiency.

[Bitbtc8]

Let them keep coming as long as they are good for mining, maybe finally we will be able to rest from pc gamers pointing at miners for scarcity of graphic cards for their gaming addiction lol 🤣

[miner29]

Will have to see how they perform.  Hopefully better than intel graphics have in the past...because if its not up to par with Nvidia / AMD not really going to help anyone (gamer or miner).

Have you read the latest news about the Intel ARC? This GPUs are specifically for gamers from what I read so I'm sure it with be on per with Nvidia and AMD graphic cards, let's wait and see

nah they're just trolling people. haven't you read the latest news? that fake account disappeared a few weeks ago. even the trademark was not activated, so it's clearly a fake news.

let's see how the arc perform. most people believe they'll target mid-range at most. intel is hyping this so badly since a few days ago.

Dont really care about the hype..proof is in the pudding so to speak.  When they arrive we will see.  Suspect it is like intel procs lately.  More hype than actual go. 

[Ceyflix-Rez]

I hope the Intel Arc GPU leave up to all this hype, if their GPU can be as good as Nvidia and Radeon then we will have less scarcity of GPU when mining is more profitable

[JayDDee]

A lot will depend on the software. When will mining software for ARC become available?
Will it be any good? As a new architecture it may take some time for developpers to get
up to speed, assuming there is enough demand to motivate them.

The worst that could happen is it's a bust and we are left with only Nvidia & AMD GPUs.

I saw the news about these video cards. But in practice, ShInte will not be able to release mony gaming video cards. Probably it will be at the level of GT1030 or a little more powerful.
If mining is profitable, then any video cards for mining will be expensive.
There is no shortage of video cards in stores, as it was in May-July 2021, but the prices are expensive.

We shall see where this will end, I have a feeling that intel will messed up really big, I just can't picture another perfect GPU manufacturer like AMD and Nvidia cards anymore, not sure intel will live up to the hype

If intel dont release these gpus fast then they will not sell any later on, need to get the best from the gpu market right now, right now there are many mindless trolls paying 3000 usd for 700 usd gpus, later on they will not even pay 400 usd hehe. If intel releases now will be a sucess in sales, if not then will be a failure and gameover to intel, not sure if intel can recover from it later on, actually even if 3dfx comes back to life and releases crap gpus all will be sold because there are idiots paying whatever manufactures ask.

Intel don't need quick sales of Alchemist, the're in it for the long haul with Ponte Veccio from which Alchemist is based.
Although if they could have delivered in volume in 2021 they would have made a windfall.

Why people will buy intel for asked price while they can buy nvidia or amd gpus for 50 to 80% cheaper? my point is intel can release right now and get tons of money from mindless people, later they will have to compete with second hand market gpus plus amd nvidia and other will be competing x second hand market, so forget, so i stand my by opinion of will happen, intel will fail if they dont release right now, remember nvidia in 2017 and then 2018 and then 2019, in 2017 was amazing, in 2018 not so much, in 2019 was scrapping for money hehe, check nvidia stock market, it crashed hard from 65 usd to 32 usd once the bear market came know why because investors knew nvidia was done for mining, would not sell 1 gpu to miners and it did not for many months, nvidia improved only in 2020 after demand for gpus started increasing, so dont believe what I say? dont need to, check nvidia and amd stock market index from 2018 september to 2020.

Mining booms are a cash cow for GPU manufacturers that can deliver but mining isn't in Intel's marketing plan
for Alchemist. Their target is gaming so they will likely time the release with the release of some new games it
supports in a co-marketing arangement.

Alchemist's success doesn't depend on mining. Like I said previously mining with Alchemist will depend largely
on the availability of mining software. I read they have tools to help port Cuda code. Regardless it will take time
to develop software, even longer to optimize it.

Ironically the lack of mining software could help them get a foothold in the gaming market. Since miners wouldn't be
interested in them they wouldn't have inflated prices.

okay i understand your point, forget mining then, year is 2022, cryptomarket crashed, amd and nvidia are hardly selling any gpu, second market gpu took control, gpus like 3080 that used to be sold in 2021 for 3000 usd are now sold for 400-500 usd, intel comes to release its gpu for 700 usd to compete x 3080 and probably is not as good as the 3080, now tell me who will buy intel for gaming at 700 usd while they can buy nvidia 3080 for 400 usd? what comes to my mind is intel fanboys because any sane or with little inteligence will buy a 3080 for 400 usd.

That's a false choice, it's new vs used, not Intel vs Nvidia. The fanboy isn't buying a new Nvidia either.

I'm not saying it will be easy but Intel doesn't dive in without doing their homework. Most of the money was spent
on developping Ponte Veccio so they can easilly wait out any slump in GPU sales.

Really here is an article from yesterday where Intel is literally throwing in the towel on their real sense cameras which they dumped a ton of resources and money into.

So yes intel dives in and screws up.

Intel also spent 5 years trying to get 10nm to work and didn't give up. But neither has anything to
do with my original point which was a crypto crash isn't a threat to ARC.

Intel Arc A380, A750 and A770 8GB GPUs price slashed, A380 now listed for $120
The 6GB version of Arc GPU based on Alchemist architecture is getting some major price cuts around the globe, not even a year since it was first available. In China, GUNNIR offered its A380 GPU at just 799 RMB (115 USD), during a limited time sale. That’s significantly lower than the initial price of 1149 RMB ($165).
