As you may know, Intel was expected to present its new range of ‘Arc’ graphics cards at CES 2022, with a launch soon after, in order to win over consumers who have been looking for a graphics card for over a year in this market.
No However, according to new information, something seems to have gone wrong with the blue semiconductor giant.
Oops!? Problems at Intel! Delayed graphics cards!
So the current production crisis seems to have taken a new victim… This time, the new range of Intel Arc graphics cards. Interestingly, the problem doesn’t even seem to be the production lines themselves, but the uncertainty in the supply of raw materials and essential components. Which, in turn, may have to result in a postponement of dedicated cards for desktop PCs, graphics cards for laptops, or who knows, both.
For now , the official date for the arrival of Intel Arc remains the first quarter of 2022. However, according to the reputed Moore’s Law is Dead, this could easily change in the coming weeks.
After all, according to the ‘leaker’, the dedicated graphics cards may end up arriving only in the summer of 2022. Interestingly, this would result in an early launch of the mobile models.
However, this could all be Intel’s strategy to confuse one of its new rivals, NVIDIA. Of course, you are preparing to launch a ‘refresh’ to your RTX 30, with the Super nomenclature, in order not to let Intel swim at ease in your aquarium. Interestingly, Intel is not a threat at the performance level, as the most powerful card will offer performance levels around the RTX 3070, but it could be at the price level , and as such, the green giant of graphics cards wants to tap the newcomer’s foot in these wanderings.
