Intel Arc “Alchemist” is painted during August and September

The late summer is making its entrance and thus the fall is also approaching, which promises an explosion of new hardware. Graphics cards from both AMD and Nvidia will raise the performance level further, but it is unclear at the time of writing exactly when and which cards will first see the light of day. Before that, Intel will release Arc “Alchemist” on a wide front and according to statements from the company, the launch is just around the corner.

However, rumors are that further Arc delays are piling up on the horizon, but reputable ones Igor Wallossek from Igor’s Lab is writing now that this is not the case. He believes that Intel has nailed down a relatively specific timetable for the launches of the three more powerful models that the company has confirmed. This slot spans from August 5th to September 29th and is large enough to launch the Arc A770, A750 and A5XX on separate occasions.

In recent weeks, Intel has visited various YouTube channels to present what is to come, but according to Wallossek, Intel’s internal communication now lacks indications that the launches are made with noise and bang. Valossek emphasizes that it is not uncommon for companies to sneak some less polished products into the market, and that this is possibly the case with Arc “Alchemist”. It should be added, however, that the outspoken approach launched by Intel stands in stark contrast to discreet launches.

More likely, however, is Wallossek’s claim that Intel is turning to a smaller group of hardware sites and channels for an initial load of tests. The company does not admit that there are clear flaws in how Arc “Alchemist” and associated drivers work at the present time, which is why the new graphics cards are unlikely to suit any user. If Wallossek’s intelligence is correct, the details will become clear in the coming weeks.
