With an aim to end the duopoly run by Nvidia and AMD in the GPU segment, Intel announced the launch of its Arc GPUs next year. The global chipmaker will develop high-performance gaming GPUs that will not only cater to gamers but to crypto fans as well. It is because they will have no software or hardware limitations to bar cryptocurrency mining, as per Roger Chandler, the VP and GM of Client Graphics Products and Solutions at Intel.

In a recent in-depth interview with Gadgets360, Intel’s SVP and GM of Accelerated Computing Systems and Graphics Raja Koduri, Jeff McVeigh, VP and GM of Data Center XPU Products and Solutions, and the VP and GM of Client Graphics Products and Solutions Roger Chandler talked about the company’s plans, driver features, and more with its upcoming GPU line.

The company will be launching the first Intel Arc GPUs as part of the Alchemist family in the first quarter of 2022. It will add more GPUs to its product portfolio in the later half of next year.
