Earlier at this time, rumors unfold like wildfire that Intel’s Arc GPUs had been cancelled internally and doubtlessly eradicated completely following the third gen Intel Arc Celestial GPUs. This primary surfaced on September 10, however at this time’s replace strengthened the rumor, which after all, led to Twitter exploding with the information that the Arc GPU was useless.
Nonetheless, Raja Koduri the chief vp and common supervisor of the Accelerated Computing Methods and Graphics (AXG) Group at Intel Company, vehemently denied these rumors through his Twitter account.
we’re 🤷♂️ about these rumors as properly. They don’t assist the workforce working arduous to deliver these to market, they don’t assist the computer graphics group..one should surprise, who do they assist?..we’re nonetheless in first gen and sure we had extra obstacles than deliberate to ovecome, however we persevered…September 12, 2022
Intel is transferring ahead as deliberate
An nameless supply at Intel confirmed to me that these rumors had been false and that the “roadmap is unchanged for Arc.” Arc GPUs are transferring ahead as deliberate. Simply two days in the past, on September 10, Koduri tweeted a pre-launch photograph of an Intel Arc GPU being put by way of its paces at a lab in Toronto, Canada.

Leaker Moore’s Regulation is Lifeless tweeted, “Intel is Successfully Killing off ARC Discrete. Not kidding, it is performed.” The tweet and related YouTube video, which cited a variety of alleged quotes from Intel insiders on the present state and plans for Arc, acquired this runaway rumor practice rolling.

In the long run, rumors are generally nothing greater than that, and generally they’re an incorrect interpretation of knowledge acquired or overheard someplace. Whereas something is feasible sooner or later, each official and unofficial statements confirming that Intel is transferring ahead with its discrete Arc GPU launch is convincing. We will not wait to see how upcoming generations of Arc deal with all the pieces our lab throws at it. Regardless of the outcomes are, a bit extra competitors within the GPU recreation is sweet for customers and should even push AMD and Nvidia to create extra modern GPU options.
