Given the rampant price inflation for GPUs in recent years, including from traditionally budget-friendly AMD, we desperately need another graphics card manufacturer putting out quality product to help keep prices down. That doesn't seem to be the case, and as Tom's Hardware (opens in new tab) notes, Intel is taking Arc Alchemist as a learning experience on how to better build Battlemage rather than as a cause for abandoning the effort altogether. The economy hasn't been in the greatest shape, and Intel's financials have looked a bit soggy this past year, so there's every reason to think Koduri's exist was the final blow for the project. I was very concerned when Raja Koduri left Intel, since his departure could very well have signalled the end of Intel's discrete graphics card division.
