Intel Arc Alchemist mobile GPU with 512 Execution Units shows up on Geekbench

So... If we take that number and compare it against geekbench 5's database:

Now because the GPU is still some ways away... I wouldn't put too much thought into it... But still kinda wtf.

At first I thought that it could be running at low frequencies, but the article says that it runs at 1800MHz so... yeah, it doesn't seem like Intel's first try will cause much trouble to Nvidia nor AMD.

Chip prices set to rise into 2022 as TSMC hikes rates

I get the feeling Lovelace and RDNA 3 are gonna be hella expensive. $500 1080p cards here we come!

Remember the "we need competition" motto we say when talking about Intel, AMD and Nvidia? Well, looks like we'll need to start saying that for TSMC as well.

C'mon Samsung! C'mon Intel! C'mon GloFo!... C'mon, please, someone.
