Intel's new GPUs shows promise, but Nvidia still has the advantage

> The Intel Arc discrete GPUs are set for a "limited" release this summer, with the Arc 3 currently available in laptops starting at $899. In the summer, the Arc 5 will be released and the Arc 7 is set for later this year. These GPUs will offer Intel's Xe-HPG architecture, supporting ray tracing and can up-convert images for better quality. Stein noted that early reviews have shown Intel's (INTC) Arc GPU have a greater than 50% performance than an integrated graphics card, the Arc 3 is really only competitive with the lower end of the market.

I don't know anyone willing to pay $899 for a "weak" GPU having only 50% greater performance than an integrated graphics card.

At that ratio, it sounds like it will be beaten by the newest AMD APU, when the next replacement for the AMD Ryzen 5700G comes around, as the already dated AMD 5700G is already solidy beating Intel CPUs with integrated graphics by > 75% in many performance tests [1]
