Nvidia and AMD will have a new competitor in 2022

The competition in the market is very healthy. Users benefit from companies competing with each other to offer the best possible product. Therefore, it is always good news that a greater offer is added for the buyer.

In this case we are not talking about anybody, since Intel has announced

which will launch its first line of graphics cards under the name of Intel Arc. The scenario in which they propose to present battle will be gaming, since with Alchemist, the code name of this family of GPUs, they will seek to offer support for ray tracing and a supersampling technology based on artificial intelligence.

It would be one more option that will join that of Nvidia with its DLSS and AMD Fidelity FX Super Resolution to achieve high resolutions without compromising the frame rate. In addition, these cards will have full DirectX 12 Ultimate compatibility and are based on the Xe HPG microarchitecture. Future generations will be called Battlemage, Celestial y Druid.

“The launch of the Intel Arc brand and the unveiling of future generations of hardware respond to Intel’s deep and ongoing commitment to gamers and creators around the world,” said Roger Chandler, Intel vice president. Intel Arc is planning its launch for the first quarter of 2022.
