Intel, one of the world’s largest semiconductor manufacturers, announced that it would officially enter the graphics card industry about a year ago. In the first statements, it was announced that the cards developed for laptops, budget-friendly models and gaming computers would be released as of the beginning of 2022. However, the latest news reveals that we will wait for a while to meet Intel’s graphics cards.
In the statements made by Lisa Pearce, one of the top executives of Intel, it was stated that there was a delay on the release date of the graphics cards, which will be called Intel Arc A. According to the latest statement, Intel’s graphics cards will be released in the summer of 2022. However, all users around the world will not be able to access these graphics cards at the same time. Intel states that the graphics cards will be released in China first. More users will be able to access Intel’s graphics cards on an undetermined date at the end of the second quarter and the beginning of the third quarter of 2022.
Why did Intel delay graphics cards that would rival NVIDIA and AMD?
Lisa Pearce also talked about why graphics cards are lagging. According to the statements made, there have been some delays in terms of software, and the chip shortage caused by COVID-19 has disrupted the production of graphics cards. However, when we look at Pearce’s statements, we see that there will be no delay-like situation once again. Because the Intel executive speaks very clearly.
When we look at Intel’s statements, we see that the first segment to meet with graphics cards is consumers who will buy laptop computers. Consumers who want to use the graphics card produced by Intel in their desktop computers will wait for the end of July or the beginning of August. This general calendar seems to have pushed the graphics cards to be designed for workstations to the end of 2022. We do not know how 2022 will pass, but when we look at the statements made, it is an indisputable fact that we will often talk about Intel’s graphics cards in 2023…
