On the other hand, Intel released a graphics tuning software and updated it recently with a video recording feature. It's unlikely that any of the renders we've seen so far will be the final design of any consumer-facing GPU. Team Blue kind of did the same thing at CES 2020, but this time clarified that these renders were for PCIe versions of the DG1 mobile chip that it would send to developers, so that they could code on the new hardware. Whether Team Blue will do that remains to be seen their messaging right now certainly makes it seem like they’re committed to the bit, but at this point? I really hope they’re not.So, at GDC 2019, Intel showed off some renders of its future graphics cards.

I hate to say it, but this might be exactly the right time for Intel to drop the bag and run. When you look at what modern game consoles can do with AMD processors and no discrete graphics, it makes you wonder how much longer dedicated GPUs will be around.

Focusing on integrated graphics looks like a smarter move right now, to counter AMD’s push for CPU graphics and Apple’s mighty M1 and M2 chips. With everything that’s gone wrong, I agree with Jon Peddie Intel should cut its losses and put the Arc program to bed. If they decide to keep it, the recently-announced Arc Pro A-series GPUs might see Intel’s discrete graphics tech find a home in workstations and laptops for business.

There are some small (very small) glimmers of hope if Intel sells off its AXG arm in line with Peddie’s recommendation, there’s a chance it could be secured by a firm other than AMD and Nvidia, potentially creating new competition for the two GPU giants. Let’s face it: RTX 4000 will be here before long, AMD’s next-gen GPUs too, and when that happens Intel is in serious trouble.
