Intel Arc GPU to be announced soon: Should we be excited?

Intel’s newest GPU dubbed “Arc” will arrive on March thirty at the recently announced “A New Stage of the Game” event. Intel’s event page shows a video and some images of Arc-powered Desktops and Laptops. They’re as well already selling Arc-related merch, which is kind of hilarious when y’all take into consideration that Intel has no track record with its discrete GPUs, making diehard fans alee of launch unlikely.

Nobody is sure what to expect from the new Arc GPU, even though Intel is promising better streaming, content editing,  battery life, and gaming performance. On Intel’s Arc page the company states “Dynamic Power Share Intelligently routes power betwixt CPU and GPU processing engines to boost performance …Whether you’re gaming or creating, finishing up tasks, or just getting started on an epic session with friends, yous’ll get performance for creativity, productivity, and gaming with Intel Deep Link engineering.”

Like many others, I desire to be excited by the March 30 Intel Event, simply Intel has so oftentimes disappointed with its integrated GPUs while making bold claims that it’s hard to trust them this fourth dimension. I don’t expect an Intel GPU to take on AMD or Nvidia, just it would exist nice if they finally built a GPU that could offering users consistent passable performance.

Yes, I wrote passable because up until now, whenever I see “Intel GPU,” I know, regardless of the CPUs ability or how much RAM the system has, the GPUs performance is going to leave me distressing.

I won’t be fooled again, Intel! However, I am crossing my fingers that this first full endeavour at a discrete GPU brings solid performance improvements. I pray to the GPU Gods every bit we could certainly use some more than options in the market. Several iterations will fall under the Arc umbrella depending on your performance needs. These include the Alchemist Xe HPG, Battlemage Xe2 HPG, Celestial Xe3 HPG and the Druid (Xe’southward side by side compages).

I want to be excited, simply I’m getting that same gut feeling I had when my dad promised me Star Wars action figures for Christmas, simply instead of Luke Skywalker with the lightsaber, I got a Canal Street knock-off named Lucas Longwalker.

I estimate we volition find out on March xxx, if Intel is finally going to bring a solid discrete GPU option to market, or if the Arc t-shirts will be the best thing to come out of this event.
