Intel Xe-HPG Arc Alchemist Graphics Card Alleged Pricing Points Towards $650-$825 Range
Intel's Arc Alchemist lineup of graphics cards, based on Xe-HPG GPU configuration, is nearing the launch. With the current situation with AMD and NVIDIA GPUs outputting graphics card prices over the default MSRP, we wonder how Intel would place pricing of its upcoming GPUs and fit inside the market. And today, we got the first round of speculations based on Intel's Arc Alchemist GPU giveaway called Xe-HPG Scavenger Hunt. There are two principal bundles: one worth $900 that includes Intel Arc merchandise, Xbox Game Pass PC for six months, Intel Premium Arc Alchemist graphics card, and one worth $700 that consists of three months of Xbox Game Pass PC, Intel Arc merchandise, and Intel Performance Arc Alchemist graphics card.
According to some preliminary calculations from Tom's Hardware, we assume that with the $900 bundle containing one Premium Arc Alchemist GPU and other prizes, the card will cost as much as $825 when all things get removed. Going down the ladder, Intel has paired a bundle worth $700 with a Performance Arc GPU, which is roughly worth $650 on its own. It indicates that the two Intel Performance and Premium Arch Alchemist graphics cards are respectfully worth $650 and $825. What will the final pricing look like? We don't know. However, we assume that it could be very similar to this. For more information we have to wait for the official launch.

Or Raja went balls to the wall and we're having a performance king, but that's about as likely as we just saved the world from climate change plus achieved world peace all in one fell swoop.
Why are we so quick to assume what such package contains?
What if it contains a 30$ water bottle, a 30$ T-shirt, a 50$ deskpad and some 100$ wroth of coupons?
I think people are way too quick on the trigger assuming Intel Arc graphics cards will cost what is stated in the title here.
Can it be right? sure, but lets not treat it is facts, not even in the typical black or white polls are have become typical of TPU as of late
however, no thanks, i have no need for a $30 water bottle, esp after i buy it in one already.
Let's hope there's a good spread of cards with lower end options as well, that part of the market has been MIA for a very long time.
$825? You're kidding.
That cheap? Really?I'd have a better chance of funding a unicorn than getting one of these.
