Intel confirms yet again that its graphics cards are coming next year and I can’t wait
I like the graphics card, and I’ve been obsessed with them for most of my life – I just think they are rather neat. And while I really got the privilege that I could play with almost every one that came out, last year this was rather frustrating – and it was all thanks to lacking graphics cards.
I don’t know what it is, but all those released by Nvidia and AMD in 2021 are kind, good, underwhelming. While something like the RTX 3060 will be really interesting if $ 100 is cheaper, and the same as the AMD Radeon RX 6600, the fact is that AMD and Nvidia don’t have to be competitive at prices – everything is sold out anything.
But fortunately, the launch of Xe Alchemist Intel was on the horizon, and as an 8th Anandtech report, the Blue team had doubled on the release date of Q1 2022, and honestly it could not come soon.
No 3080 Killer? Who cares?!
Leaks have spinned for a while, and the one I see is that Intel flagship is not as strong as RTX 3080. There may be people who think of it as an excuse to ignore the Intel GPU directly, but not me, it actually makes me excited.
The fact is that most people don’t play games on the RTX 3090s or RX 6900 Xts in the world. The affordable 1080p graphics card is where most people, and it is a type of GPU which all disappears in recent years.
If the Intel Alchemist flagship only matches RTX 3070, it means that all GPU ranks will naturally filter under the performance tier, which is exactly what I want.
It might not happen, like, right as Intel lineup deliver the road – no – but Intel will need a hook to make people jump on the graphics brand when it has never been a power in the Discrete GPU market before. If this leak must be trusted, 4K show shows will not be an Intel hook, but the price is possible.
If Intel can provide an affordable graphics card, even in advance, it can win the GPU market by default.
Let’s come true
I have built my own PC game since I was around 15 years old, and all the time I was never able to buy a superior card. In fact, my GPU had the most beautiful memories of not RTX 2080 IT I was finally able in 2018, but Nvidia GeForce GTX 970. It was the best GPU I have ever had, and for the first time I can maximize Witcher games when launched – hell, even coming With Witcher 3 (and also Arkham Knight, but we are not talking about the game).
I have to save for months to be able to buy the graphics card, and it’s worth it. But it feels special because it’s better than another graphics card that I can buy at that time.
Because even though the GTX 970 is equally expensive like the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 should be today, there are various graphics cards below it is more affordable. And now we are more than a year passing the initial launch of Nvidia Ampere, and we approached that for AMD Big Navi, none of the GPU manufacturers released a budget GPU.
I knew I was unable to buy a $ 329 graphics card when I first started entering the gaming PC, and literally no one else I knew grew too. I am just afraid that there are a whole generation of potential PC gamers that are valued from beautiful hobbies. It was not meant to be the entertainment of the rich, but it was that kind, and I didn’t like it.
