Intel Takes iGPU Driver Shortcut for Arc Gaming GPUs, Crashes Into Ditch
Early this year, Intel disclosed plans to ship four million discrete Arc Alchemist gaming GPUs in 2022, but many observers considered the target rather conservative. Now, following multiple launch delays and limited availability, Intel said this week that it would miss its discrete GPU shipments this year.
All-in-all, Intel needed all-new drivers written from scratch to roll out its discrete gaming GPUs for desktops and laptops. However, its drivers for discrete gaming GPUs were not on par with those offered by AMD and Nvidia because it chose to use the same graphics drivers as it used for the low-powered integrated graphics present in its CPUs.
In a nutshell, significant shipments of "competitive" Intel GPUs are delayed to next year.
