Intel ARC AI image generation gains performance thanks to optimized drivers
Intel sees an opportunity in promoting Arc A7 GPUs for generative AI.
The Arc Alchemist GPU’s performance may not be up to par with the RTX 40 and RX 7000 GPUs in gaming, there’s still a lot of work to be done in that area, but Intel sees a lot of potential in generative AI powered by their architecture.
Intel Arc GPUs are actually quite cheap right now. The most powerful one, the A770, is usually available for less than $300. The 16GB variant could be of interest to users who are looking for an affordable GPU for Stable Diffusion, one of the free generative AI models available for everyone to use.

Intel is ending production of a graphics card that it released less than a year ago. Arc A770 16GB Limited Edition will be discontinued
We are talking about the reference version of Intel itself. It will still be possible to buy similar models from other manufacturers. In particular, such cards are produced by Acer and Gunnir.
Probably, such decision of Intel is caused by weak demand. Recall that there is also an Arc A770 8GB on the market, which is much cheaper, and a video card of this class does not always need additional 8 GB of memory. In particular, Arc A770 16GB in Europe is now asking for 360 euros.

Great price cut from Intel.
https://www.msn.com/en-us/lifestyle/other/intel-slashes-arc-a750-s-already-great-price-to-just-199/ar-AA1bDpAY
Intel’s Arc discrete graphics cards aren’t unseating Nvidia or AMD for pure performance any time soon, but they are some of the best GPUs on the market in terms of value. In fact, the Arc A750 is our pick for the best 1080p graphics card for ray tracing. And that was before a recent price drop: Initially $289, the A750 was permanently dropped to $250 a few months ago. Today it looks like the card has another big price drop, all the way down to $199.99.

Now I will look at the INTEL ARC A770 video card through the eyes of a miner.
https://www.hashrate.no/gpus/a770
In the calculator, the price of the video card is $349, but this is a slight inaccuracy. And even if you buy this video card for $339, it will not greatly affect the payback in mining.
Payback is more than 10 years, if you look at the calculator, then it is 15-20 years, but it does not matter.
Maybe such a video card with 16 GB of memory is suitable for graphic design. https://www.hashrate.no/gpus/a770

AMD boasts low prices for video memory

and Intel sells the cheapest 16 GB graphics card. But as always there are problems, and if you want to play old games, then you need to install additional software, such as DXVK, which officially does not work with Windows, but in reality it works.
As I observe prices in the video card markets, Nvidia is forcing its partners to reduce prices for the mid-range RTX 3060-3070 video cards so that they do not interfere with sales of new video card models. Intel doesn't have that performance yet, but they can offer competition at a lower price point.

Intel Arc A380, A750 and A770 8GB GPUs price slashed, A380 now listed for $120
The 6GB version of Arc GPU based on Alchemist architecture is getting some major price cuts around the globe, not even a year since it was first available. In China, GUNNIR offered its A380 GPU at just 799 RMB (115 USD), during a limited time sale. That’s significantly lower than the initial price of 1149 RMB ($165).

Intel also spent 5 years trying to get 10nm to work and didn't give up. But neither has anything to
do with my original point which was a crypto crash isn't a threat to ARC.

okay i understand your point, forget mining then, year is 2022, cryptomarket crashed, amd and nvidia are hardly selling any gpu, second market gpu took control, gpus like 3080 that used to be sold in 2021 for 3000 usd are now sold for 400-500 usd, intel comes to release its gpu for 700 usd to compete x 3080 and probably is not as good as the 3080, now tell me who will buy intel for gaming at 700 usd while they can buy nvidia 3080 for 400 usd? what comes to my mind is intel fanboys because any sane or with little inteligence will buy a 3080 for 400 usd.
That's a false choice, it's new vs used, not Intel vs Nvidia. The fanboy isn't buying a new Nvidia either.
I'm not saying it will be easy but Intel doesn't dive in without doing their homework. Most of the money was spent
on developping Ponte Veccio so they can easilly wait out any slump in GPU sales.
Really here is an article from yesterday where Intel is literally throwing in the towel on their real sense cameras which they dumped a ton of resources and money into.
https://hardware.slashdot.org/story/21/08/18/2035201/intel-is-giving-up-on-its-ai-powered-realsense-cameras
So yes intel dives in and screws up.

Mining booms are a cash cow for GPU manufacturers that can deliver but mining isn't in Intel's marketing plan
for Alchemist. Their target is gaming so they will likely time the release with the release of some new games it
supports in a co-marketing arangement.
Alchemist's success doesn't depend on mining. Like I said previously mining with Alchemist will depend largely
on the availability of mining software. I read they have tools to help port Cuda code. Regardless it will take time
to develop software, even longer to optimize it.
Ironically the lack of mining software could help them get a foothold in the gaming market. Since miners wouldn't be
interested in them they wouldn't have inflated prices.

Intel don't need quick sales of Alchemist, the're in it for the long haul with Ponte Veccio from which Alchemist is based.
Although if they could have delivered in volume in 2021 they would have made a windfall.

Why people will buy intel for asked price while they can buy nvidia or amd gpus for 50 to 80% cheaper? my point is intel can release right now and get tons of money from mindless people, later they will have to compete with second hand market gpus plus amd nvidia and other will be competing x second hand market, so forget, so i stand my by opinion of will happen, intel will fail if they dont release right now, remember nvidia in 2017 and then 2018 and then 2019, in 2017 was amazing, in 2018 not so much, in 2019 was scrapping for money hehe, check nvidia stock market, it crashed hard from 65 usd to 32 usd once the bear market came know why because investors knew nvidia was done for mining, would not sell 1 gpu to miners and it did not for many months, nvidia improved only in 2020 after demand for gpus started increasing, so dont believe what I say? dont need to, check nvidia and amd stock market index from 2018 september to 2020.
If intel dont release these gpus fast then they will not sell any later on, need to get the best from the gpu market right now, right now there are many mindless trolls paying 3000 usd for 700 usd gpus, later on they will not even pay 400 usd hehe. If intel releases now will be a sucess in sales, if not then will be a failure and gameover to intel, not sure if intel can recover from it later on, actually even if 3dfx comes back to life and releases crap gpus all will be sold because there are idiots paying whatever manufactures ask.

We shall see where this will end, I have a feeling that intel will messed up really big, I just can't picture another perfect GPU manufacturer like AMD and Nvidia cards anymore, not sure intel will live up to the hype
