They barely got A380 desktop out and working properly, now announce (yet) another mythical Arc Mobile. On positive note the bundle worth more than than the card itself.

Intel really tries hard to sell it's ARC GPUs. They don't seem to abandoning the game. They start taking it more serious.
Consumers will see those bundles and by Intel products "no questions asked".
I think this is a very strong promotion for Intel's hardware. Both GPUs and CPUs.
