Intel Arc A750 Trades Blows with GeForce RTX 3060 in 50 Games
Intel earlier this week released its own performance numbers for as many as 50 benchmarks spanning the DirectX 12 and Vulkan APIs. From our testing, the Arc A380 performs sub-par with its rivals in games based on the DirectX 11 API. Intel tested the A750 in the 1080p and 1440p resolutions, and compared performance numbers with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060. Broadly, the testing reveals the A750 to be 3% faster than the RTX 3060 in DirectX 12 titles at 1080p; about 5% faster at 1440p; about 4% faster in Vulkan titles at 1080p, and about 5% faster at 1440p.
All testing was done without ray tracing, performance enhancements such as XeSS or DLSS weren't used. The small set of 6 Vulkan API titles show a more consistent performance lead for the A750 over the RTX 3060, whereas the DirectX 12 API titles sees the two trade blows, with a diversity of results varying among game engines. In "Dolmen," for example, the RTX 3060 scores 347 FPS compared to the Arc's 263. In "Resident Evil VIII," the Arc scores 160 FPS compared to 133 FPS of the GeForce. Such variations among the titles pulls up the average in favor of the Intel card. Intel stated that the A750 is on-course to launch "later this year," but without being any more specific than that. The individual test results can be seen below.
The testing notes and configuration follows.

I mean, talking about intel competency in graphics seems to be a wild alternate history fantastical scenario already, so why not imagine wild shit up.
I know it won't ever happen, in a million years. But were it to be proffered, would nvidia bite?
As for Nvidia getting an X86 license, they tried 15 years ago I think, Intel knew better NOT to give them one. Intel could have another more dangerous AMD to face today if they had given Nvidia that license. And probably Nvidia doesn't want it anyway. ARM closed the gap with X86 and today GPUs are the heavy lifters in compute, so not really a huge need for an ultra fast CPU. Intel getting patents from Nvidia? Nvidia wouldn't be selling anyway. Nvidia tries for over a decade to create proprietary standards. Sharing is not exactly part of their character as a company. Not to mention that Intel is the reason Nvidia had to close it's chipset division 10+ years ago.
In the end sharing patents is a risk for both of them. A better X86 CPU from Nvidia, could mean huge troubles for Intel. A good enough GPU series from Intel could mean the end of Nvidia as the huge company we know them today.
So it will be hard to undercut the competition when it costs more to make the card.
However none of that is really surprising hopefully they'll stick with it and be a third player in the GPU space as NVIDIA and AMD haven't been price competing even before the GPU shortages.
Also we need to move away from the archaic x86 CPUs anyways it's like a damn anchor for handhelds and laptops.
One was due to a factory shutdown from COVID in 2021. The second big delay in 2022, because a big chunk of their engineering team was in... Russia.www.semiaccurate.com/2022/09/02/why-is-intels-gpu-program-having-problems/
