This announcement comes amid an interesting time for the graphics card market. Intel did not share any further details other than Project Endgame will be available later this year. We can expect some interesting budget offerings from Alchemist, fortunately, and also from Nvidia – hopefully with an RTX 3050 desktop graphics card set to be unleashed in January, and maybe unveiled at CES 2022 – plus AMD is rumored to have its wallet-friendly RX 6500 XT ready to launch next month.Another interesting tidbit in Intel's blog post is “ Project Endgame,” a new cloud GPU service, allowing users to 'access Intel Arc GPUs through a service for always-accessible, low-latency computing experience.' While not much is known about the Project Endgame, it could be Intel’s response to Nvidia GeForce Now’s RTX 3080 membership, which allows subscribers to play games on the cloud with an RTX 3080 PC gaming rig. That said, even having more cards available to buy will be a blessed relief in a time where GPU pricing has shot through the roof in a frankly ridiculous manner, and even low-end cards are priced at silly levels. The other key for Arc Alchemist will be pricing, and we’re hopeful that Intel may go for the undercutting route as a way to break into the current GPU duopoly, bringing some much-needed more competitive pricing into play. This is something we’ve talked about here on TechRadar in the past, in terms of it being a crucial piece of the puzzle (as well as getting the hardware itself right, of course). MLID makes it clear that Intel’s apparent focus for Alchemist or DG2 cards (Battlemage will be DG3) is the refinement of drivers, and getting that spot-on. This certainly stokes the hype machine for Intel’s incoming graphics cards, and it’s very interesting to get a glimpse of Team Blue’s purported longer-term ambitions with Battlemage in 2023.īefore we get there, though, we obviously have Alchemist graphics cards coming potentially in March or April 2022. Analysis: Alchemy with the drivers, and then a battle at the high-end
