INTEL ARC PREPS FOR A FLOOD
The big two GPU names are about to get some muchneeded competition from Intel’s Arc, or at least in theory. Arc, formerly DG2, aka Xe-HPG, has seen quite a few delays. We originally thought it would launch by the end of 2021, but now it’s looking like a mid-2022 launch for the desktop parts. It could be too little, too late for gamers, though the media aspects of the chips remain promising.
