For gamers to choose Intel Arc Alchemist over Nvidia or AMD, the former will have to be very competitive on performance or on price. Saying that it enters a saturated market is a bit of an overstatement right now (thanks, GPU shortage), but it certainly enters a market that has been ruled by two giants for a long, long time. It definitely makes sense for Intel to try to get everything right the first time around.

Intel has plenty of experience in releasing new products, but discrete graphics cards are a first, so these things have to be built from the ground up. The company may be having problems with things such as partner card development, aftermarket support, or game integration. Some of the issues may not even be directly linked to Intel.

Intel may be having driver issues, and seeing as even the best GPU will struggle without the correct driver, it makes sense for Intel to delay things until everything has been sorted. If there were problems with the hardware, we’d probably be looking at an even greater delay. Why might Intel be delaying Arc Alchemist for desktops yet again? There could be multiple reasons, but as Igor’s Lab speculates, hardware is unlikely to be the cause. Once the cards finally make it to market, we can expect at least seven new models.

We heard similar rumors last month, and according to Igor’s Lab, today’s report comes from multiple anonymous sources,so it sounds fairly realistic.

This potentially puts the desktop version of Arc Alchemist near a late summer release. Now, it seems that Intel may not be able to make that deadline either, as Igor’s Lab reports that the launch window may be anywhere between July 1, 2022, and August 31, 2022. Intel’s next-gen GPUs are its first real shot at being the best How to watch Nvidia’s launch of the RTX 4000 Super today
