Intel Shows Off AAA Gaming Capabilities of Intel Arc "Alchemist" GPU
It's been a crazy day for PC graphics, with Intel announcing its big entry into the gaming graphics space with the new Intel Arc brand of graphics processors, arriving in Q1-2022. The first of these, codenamed "Alchemist," has been known as the "DG2" for some time now. Intel revealed that not only is this a high-performance product, but also meets DirectX 12 Ultimate requirements, including real-time raytracing. The company is also working on an AI-accelerated supersampling feature rivaling NVIDIA DLSS and AMD FSR. Later in the day, Intel Graphics put out a delectable video of AAA gameplay as rendered on an Intel Arc graphics processor, and it looks nice! We're shown titles like "Metro Exodus," "Rift Breaker," "Crysis Remastered," and "Forza Horizon 4," rendered at 1440p, with eye-candy rivaling any contemporary performance-segment GPU from NVIDIA or AMD.The video presentation by Intel Graphics follows.

Retool your 14++++++++++++++++nm into GPU manufacture already, damnit!
If Nvidia can sell all their 12nm 1660 Supers for over $400 now, then Intel could sell a somewhat more powerful 14nm GPU for $300-350 and make a mint and maybe some midrange gamers happy.
Just going to be another Midrange card release (just like i740)
Are you joking?
The video doesn't declare rendered at 1440p even.
Looking forward to having another option, if they are worthy.. but they know how to play with sand, I'm sure they will be pretty decent..
Intel Showed Off AAA Gaming Capabilities of Intel Xe dGPU in 2017 too.
Game requirements are increasing about about the same rate as Intel's glacial development pace; They've had a viable product for four years at least and need to release the damn product before this becomes the Duke Nukem Forever of graphics cards.Intel is selling vapour, no ware
FPS comparison with similarly priced AMD/ nVidia cards is all we need.
