Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger, who recently gave a troubling prediction about chip supply shortages, said late last week that the company’s desktop graphics cards would release in Q2, meaning sometime before July. He said more SKUs would arrive later in the year, suggesting the first batch of desktop cards would be released in waves, echoing the mobile launch.

I can't wait for this.  I will end up with one eventually to play with I think, or just live through you all.

Will sure be fun to play with this. I will sure watch people here try them.

 

I wonder if intel learned from previous error about driver.

Sounded like the hardware was good, but that the drivers are not in a great state, hence why they've been delayed.

Oh well that doesn't seem like a good sign.

I think the hardware will be decent, but not great in the first gen... but mostly I think Intel is going to have to accept that there will be long term growing pains from getting driver support and game optimization for a totally new player in the GPU market. I suspect they may have expected game devs to be more enthusiastic about optimizing for their new hardware but that isn't going the way they had hoped.
