Intel’s ARC graphics cards on the brink? About resigning board partners, annoyed system integrators and skeptical retailers.

I will not presume to call the Alchemist project a failure, because time and the market alone will decide whether it succeeds or fails. It’s definitely not my place, and there’s no need to belittle the developers’ invested work based on just one tested product. However, more and more pieces of the puzzle are coming together to [...]


600 watts and the fastest graphics card in the world in 2012: HIS 7970 X2, PowerColor 7990 Devil 13 or EVGA GTX 690? | Retro
