With any luck, Intel can cause enough disruption on the market to help with the current shortages. It's unlikely that Intel's Arc will solve any of these problems overnight, if at all, but having increased variety on the market can only be positive when the current offerings are limited to just two companies. Stock shortages and issues with available stock being snatched up by cryptominers and scalpers have been a recurring issue since the launch of Nvidia Ampere and AMD's RDNA 2 series. That feels a little way off, but with Nvidia anticipating that hardware shortages are going to continue into 2022, another GPU provider entering the market is worth the wait The current rumors claim Intel's Arc graphics card could be officially revealed during CES 2022, potentially launching around the same time.
