In an interview with ASCII He provided some information regarding the making of the next Arc Alchemist gaming graphics card. It will be handed over to TSMC to take advantage of N6 engraving instead of Intel’s 7 nm. Why? This technology is currently suffering from limited production capacity. It is not impossible to create a situation that will allow Intel to regain control in the future.

Arc graphics card, “home” versions planned.

We now know that these novelties have led to different partners. Clearly Intel offers a “reference” card so that “personalized” models can emerge. This solution is probably “closer” to what we found in the first leaks and to the design that Intel provided in its promotional videos.

Unfortunately discreet secrets stop there.
