Intel Ruixuan graphics card is blocked everywhere, and there is a suspected quality problem. The launch of Intel's Arc graphics card was not smooth. Intel CPU giants always encounter difficulties when launching new game GPUs, but the inconsistency in performance makes it a headache, although it does not seem to solve the problem. Even before Intel's independent GPU arrived in Europe or America, a report showed that Intel's partners were hesitant.

"I asked some distributors, potential distributors and manufacturers in Europe about Intel's Arc cards and their plans in this regard. However, people have little or no interest in taking risks with this new product, "Igor said.

The report claims to be an insider's opinion, saying that Intel doesn't want to guarantee the price and doesn't provide a competitive package for the military revolution, all of which can be seen as making Arc look like a riskier investment. Intel may try to push alchemists to system integrators and original equipment manufacturers to avoid a challenging retail market.

"At least one large board partner even stopped the production of Intel cards completely (due to quality problems)," the report later said.

Of course, this does not bode well for the alchemist GPU generation. This is only the first of the four generations named for IntelArc graphics cards, and the following generations are battlemage, Tianjie and Druid respectively. This is the further content of another report "YouTuber Moore's Law is Dead", which raises similar questions for Intel's alchemist GPU.

Of course, we can't be 100% sure that any report describes the whole picture, but so far, we personally haven't heard much positive news from the press conference.

So far, the only graphics card released for desktops is Intel's ArcA380, a cheap GPU available in China. It is expected that a higher-end graphics card will be launched later.

Although the extensive inventory problem may be another factor that aggravates the company's migraine.

Intel reported that a large amount of cash was trapped in "inventory reserve and roadmap investment", including its ArcGPU. AXG, Intel's internal team in charge of Intel Arc, lost nearly $500 million in the past three months, higher than the loss of $654.38+$68 million in the previous quarter.

This is not uncommon for a large-scale new product launch conference, especially for new products that are delayed like this, but it does happen when the inventory is generally rising. This increase in inventory applies not only to Intel's GPU, but also to other major companies, such as AMD.

Dr. LisaSu, CEO of AMD, recently held a earnings conference call.

This will have a chain reaction, making most people in the GPU supply chain more risk-averse, which may mean that Intel entered the graphics at the wrong time.

LisaSu is hopeful about Intel's continued interest in graphics. This generation is not completely in line with expectations, but the first generation of GPU architecture will always encounter some major problems. If Intel can start Arc and compete with AMD and Nvidia on budget GPU, it should make the market competition more intense. Usually, this means that Intel can offer cheaper products to end customers.

Intel's graphics cards are blocked everywhere, and there are suspected quality problems. Although Intel released the Intel Arc brand Alchemist (DG2) discrete graphics card as early as the end of March, it was not until last month that Intel officially launched its first desktop-oriented product, namely the entry-level A380.

Intel's internal PPT, which appeared on the network before, showed that the original plan was to launch the remaining four Sharp desktop graphics cards on or after July 20, and OEM manufacturers would also synchronize the sales of the whole machine, and the retail market would have to wait until August. However, Intel has not determined the specific time so far, indicating that it is likely to be postponed.

According to Igors Labs, Intel has been slow to move because of a series of troubles.

It is rumored that it is difficult for some board manufacturers to accept the third GPU manufacturer for the time being, because there are still a large number of graphics cards in their hands. At present, the whole graphics card market is in a downward trend, and funds are tied to it, resulting in no extra funds for the marketing of new graphics cards. In order to ensure economic benefits, we must be able to produce a certain quantity and sell it at a reasonable price. It is said that Intel advises partners to give up retail business and focus on system integrators and OEM customers, but this model will lead to lower profits.

At present, Intel's Sharp graphics card is only sold in some regions. If we follow its advice, it is best to expand the sales scope to the whole world to ensure shipment and profit. However, graphics card manufacturers and distributors in other regions are unwilling to take risks, because Intel cannot and does not want to provide any price guarantee, and as a new product, there may be many problems, and the basic conditions for sales are obviously not as good as those of graphics cards from NVIDIA or AMD.

What is more troublesome is that at least one large partner has completely stopped production of Sharp graphics cards, and the rumor is that it is a quality problem. Of course, this is not necessarily the real reason, but may just be an excuse to escape.

In the second quarter earnings conference call in 2022, Pat Gelsinger, CEO of Intel, said that he would launch the Rui Xuan A5 and A7 series desktop graphics cards in the third quarter, but did not mention the specific date. At the same time, the leaked PPT also shows that the time to market of these graphics cards is still to be determined.

Intel Ruixuan graphics card is blocked everywhere, and there is a suspected quality problem. 3 Intel Arc discrete graphics card is really stumbling, and the release process, product performance, functional technology, driver, game compatibility and price are almost unsatisfactory.

In addition, there are few cooperative brands. So far, only Lanji and Huaqing have issued cards separately, while Jing Tian, Ning Mei, Asus, MSI, etc. They are all tag machines, but they are all low-key and can't see any publicity.

Now the worse news is coming. IgorsLAB claims to have obtained a definite statement from two independent sources, that is, a motherboard partner of a major brand has completely stopped producing Intel Arc graphics cards, mainly because of concerns about quality problems.

Which brand is not revealed, it seems to be a certain M.

At the same time, other brands have completely given up marketing activities, and there will be no promotion activities until at least the end of September.

It is worth mentioning that it is said that Intel Arc graphics card has no price guarantee and subsidy, its current competitiveness is insufficient, and its market prospect is uncertain, which inevitably worries OEMs and naturally won't invest too much.

In addition to continuing to promote notebook and desktop product lines, Intel Arc graphics cards will also enter the workstation field, where the requirements for product quality, driver adaptation and software compatibility are more stringent, and Intel will also face more severe challenges.
