Intel Shows Off AAA Gaming Capabilities of Intel Arc "Alchemist" GPU

[LTUGamer]

Wow, this video shows that GPU could run games...

FPS comparison with similarly priced AMD/ nVidia cards is all we need.

Actual gameplay image don't look so good. Low resolution images, i.e. looking at the road/ ground, is quite apparent to me. I suspect driver stability and optimisation in games will still be a problem for Intel GPUs, at least for some time.

It is always nice to have a new and strong competitor in the market since it is dominated mainly by Nvidia, and to a lesser extend, AMD. I feel Nvidia must be feeling the heat now with both CPU companies going full throttle on GPUs.

I wonder which players from the AIB cartel will have their hooks in these.

 

[Tsukiyomi91]

Teaser video isn't enough. That said, good to know Intel is catching up with Novideo and AyyyMD

 

[Upgrayedd]

In the old days we paired ATi GPU's with Intel CPU's.. now we pair Intel GPU's with AMD CPU's.. imagine if they were awesome?

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..

and one day you'll be able to have a Nvidia CPU too. I think that's kinda cool to have a choice for your CPU/GPU to both be from one of the 3.

Evga 100%. They do need to start clean page with new brand .

Guessing, but I think those who make only from one brand gpu will hop on for intel. Well, of course if thei can sell them at much higher price.

Most of these will never see a game.

I dunno, looks like low res texture, little/no anisotropic filtering, no AA, low shadow definition, little/no particle effects, areas with lower poly counts/draw distances. I am not convinced.

ermm do you have a comparison video where those games look better in all those areas on other hardware?
Because to me it just seems you arbirarely are running off all settings games have and calling them bad in this video.....to the point it even makes me doubt you know what they mean or do....

Intel has already released 10mn and is refining 7nm ATM.

What all 5 of them !

Yeah right! for a company that puts out zillions of cpus, they have made 9/10ths on none on 10nm! and now they are refining their 7nm!

Seriously!

The only way they will refine them is by getting TSMC to make them !

 

[rutra80]

Many of those look like rendered in low resolution and AI upscaled. Would convince me as DLSS/FSR video but not as actual gameplay...

 

[bonehead123]

Ah, so it *can* run Crysis...

Or perhaps it will at least be able to run the "Can it run Crysis" app to tell you for sure, hahahaha

 

[LemmingOverlord]

The chip shortage - real or artificially-induced - is the perfect time for Intel to enter the GPU market. It can charge a slight premium over their real value, and still look like they're offering a good deal over the insane AMD and Nvidia prices.

There is nothing to indicate prices will be "affordable" for these new Arc GPUs, in particular considering Intel's history of price gouging.

Also, if they plan to release this after CES, then fab partners should already be gearing up / pumping out the silicon. Any idea where this will be manufactured?

 

[Tardian]

I can max-out most of these games at 440p on my gtx 1060 6gb, so not seeing the attraction!

Just going to be another Midrange card release (just like i740)

I think you meant 1440p?

I doubt EVGA, or any other nvidia exclusive AIB partner, would do anything to jeopardize their relationship with Nvidia. It'll be the same ones that make AMD cards (Asus, GB, MSI, Asrock)

You can max out RTX settings in Metro Exodus with a 1060 6G?

 

[Tardian]

Intel has already released 10mn and is refining 7nm ATM.

Intel's planned comeback: 10nm production now surpassing 14nm, 7nm remains a work in progress

Intel is optimistic about its 2021 outlook. The company reported second quarter net income of $5.1 billion on revenue of $19.6 billion. This is higher than Wall...

At 440p, I'm sure he can

Anyway, great, Intel created more marketing, now they have a video showing us... gameplay images.

God knows what kind of GPU is going to do this, at what settings or framerate and whether you need a 4P socket for it, because that's all Raja has been showing until now: friggin huge chips doing friggin vague stuff.

Until there is pricing > FPS > overall performance all this is, is a video. Out of pure desperation I'm joining the 'hope it works' team right now, I suppose.

Sounds strange to word it that way, still no performance numbers, price, or availability.

No, was this video actually showing RTX running in any game? From what I could see, these were all running Standard Raster.

Announcing a "feature support flag," and actually seeing how it performs with same flag turned on is not necessarily happening here - remember how long it took for game updates before AMD's RTX managed to run in more than maybe 2 games at-launch?

You're just making it too easy fro Intel's Hype Train here.

 

[amarthar]

"High-performance product", yet they upload a video in 30 fps to show it off...

On a closer look it looks like Metro was running in standard raster, SSR is clearly visible if you run it at quarter speed with objects obstructing others behind them.

Either way if they can provide something competitive to AMD and NV there's no way this isn't good for gamers.

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.

I wouldn't call it glacial. UHD 630 was a huge step forward and so is Xe. Those integrated graphics are becoming faster at incredible rate. I don't think that Radeons are improving as fast in non-IGPs.

I would rather want to see fabrication capacity show off, cuz you can't buy anything in LT that isn't overpriced or something adequate. There are only one cheap RX 550 2GB at Inida, if Intel can produce something cheap in real quantities, I guess they can sell stuff quite well. It might be a perfect scenario for them even if cards are not up to par with competition. And if they made anything without 6 pin too, they win by default, because nV and RTG don't have anything recent.

Maybe it performs well in professional tasks too, which would make sense as Intel made Xeon Phis and had QuickSync, that mopped floor with anything from nV and RTG.

"Competitive" with cards priced at $150 back in 2019? , before the Pandemic Rush? It's not getting my pulses running!

And, because they are using the exact same fab as AMD is, they will have to price them higher, because they have exactly the same shortages (have you seen the price difference between the RTX 3060 Ti, and the RX 6700?)

rebranding 10 as 7

No, they solved the problem holding them back with 14nm. 7nm will be a good step forward from 10nm.
