What's Intel's roadmap like for the ARC GPU line?

I suppose Intel's performance for a 1st gen discrete GPU isn't bad, but it's not like they're challenging the duopoly in any meaningful way whatsoever. Does Intel plan on releasing any big gun ARC GPU's that can challenge the duopoly in top tier performance in the near future?

I doubt they'll be able to compete with top tier any time soon, and not even sure if they have to. If they can come up with a decent midrange card at good pricing it'll make a huge difference for a majority of gamers out there.

I heard that the newest driver update gives a 195% performance boost to the Arc 750 bringing it up to par with the 3060, if they keep making improvements like this their cards will be top tier soon enough.

intel doesnt have to make top tier gpu's just dominate the mid range section gpus with better pricing than competition cards and then it can focus on the top tier.
continue research and development since 2023 alot of things not selling well

I heard that the newest driver update only fractionally improves overall performance, but FIXES some special case situations where there were massive bottlenecks and where performance was so bad it was unusable. There is no benchmark utility showing 195% performance boost of ARC.

You can be sure that as and when there were material changes in overall ARC performance, W1zz would be the first to retest and show the new results.

I read the 195% bit on fb thread, here's the real story.
