Intel has released more details about the ‘Arc Alchemist’ GPU. While graphics cards for laptops will appear this quarter, desktop PC owners will have to wait until the second quarter of this year. The Intel Arc card is Intel’s attempt to compete with tech giants Nvidia and AMD. Intel appears to be serious about this, as it has been confirmed that graphics cards will span multiple hardware generations. Additionally, the graphics card has its own supersampling technology, XeSS, with which Intel aims to compete with AMD’s Fidelity FX Super Resolution and Nvidia’s DLSS. Intel has already confirmed that many developers will support these developers.
You have all been patient, and the first wave of #intelarch GPUs for notebooks are launching soon. Desktops and workstations will follow soon! https://t.co/rXgX9dGEL1 pic.twitter.com/F6ubSUzSHM

In addition, Intel announced in a blog post “Project Endgame” how IGN Report, This is a new cloud service for graphics cards. It is going to come out at the end of this year. Unfortunately, little is known about Project Endgame, but it can be inferred that it is Intel’s answer to GeForce Now, Nvidia’s cloud gaming service. With Geforce Now, gamers can harness the power of an RTX 3080 PC rig without actually owning it. There are also clues when it comes to the performance of Intel Arch Alchemist. Earlier leaks indicated that the graphics card could keep up with Nvidia’s RTX 3070 Ti and sometimes even beat it. There is also talk of up to 16GB of VRAM and up to 16GB of GDDR6 memory. Intel’s announcement comes at a time when semiconductors are still in short supply, leading to supply constraints and competition causing prices for graphics cards to skyrocket.
