There was always some issue with the Arc A GPUs and to top it off, Intel essentially was not able to deliver the GPUs after delaying them for over 6 months (Considering Q1 2022 as the original launch date). A beacon of hope lit up as Intel finally has plans for the global launch of the Arc A-Series. Q3 2022 is just a fiscal quarter having the date range, July 1 – September 30. July has already passed, meaning we’ll have to see if Intel can deliver because they only have 2 months left to do so. Intel’s CEO, Pat Gelsinger Making these sources more concrete, Igorslab says: Intel will deliver a few samples to select testers and enthusiasts in order to retain a positive reputation regarding the Arc GPUs. ~ Igorslab During a twich stream, PCGamer states that Intel will hold back the launch until these GPUs have been tested and are ready for the mainstream market. To make matters more uncertain, the Q3 launch date still does not mention whether it will be a global launch or just shipments to a few countries.
— Raja Koduri (Bali Makaradhwaja) (@RajaXg) July 29, 2022 Clearing out all the bogus, Raja Koduri reassures the consumers that they will be able to see Intel Arc this year. While this does put some hope in our hearts, it still does not explain how Arc will be able to compete against the likes of RDNA 3 and Lovelace. All in all, we hope that Intel will improve as time goes on. Because another competitor in the GPU market essentially means more price cuts and better performance for the end users, which in this case are us.
