A week later, Nvidia made progress Some of the highest prices for graphics cardsIntel has good news: its 2023 graphics card prices are nearing bottom.
Intel Corporation CEO Pat Gelsinger delivered Tuesday’s keynote address Intel’s latest innovation event The upcoming Arc A770 GPU has a starting price and release date to confirm: $329 on October 12th.
This price is quite a bit lower than last weekend’s top Nvidia GPU, but is said to be closely related to current AMD and Nvidia GPUs in the $300 range. Importantly, Intel claims that the A770, the company’s flagship product, will match or even surpass its first wave of graphics cards. NVIDIA RTX 3060 TiIt debuted last year at $399 and has held that price in most markets.
While we haven’t personally tested a pair of Intel’s 700-series GPUs, their bar history mentions similar hardware with 4,096 shaders (compared to the 3060 Ti’s 4864 CUDA cores) and 16GB of RAM, GDDR6 RAM (compared to the 3060 Ti’s GDDR68). ), boost clock to 2.1 GHz (vs. 3060 Ti 1.67 GHz). So far, Intel’s initial response to Ars Technica indicates performance gains in modern games running on DirectX 12 – and even improved ray tracing performance thanks to many hardware-focused features to drive that performance in today’s DX12 RT games. However, Intel advised Ars that 3D software running on legacy APIs will likely suffer from a combination of early Intel GPU drivers and minimal performance improvements in the short term.
Intel has yet to announce a price or release window for another 700-series GPU, the Arc A750. So far the company has suggested that this GPU, which has consistently lower specs but is more affordable than the A770, will Direct comparison with Nvidia’s RTX 3060 (not TI).

Before announcing the 770’s price and release date, Gelsinger referenced a GPU performance chip pricing chart that charts the launch of Nvidia’s mid-range GPUs from the GTX 650 Ti. “We’re with gamers and we’re hearing complaints about price increases,” Gelsinger said, referring to the current cost of the RTX 3060 and 3060 Ti models in the wild. “You must be disappointed because you’re missing out on the gaming community. Today we’re fixing that.”
Gelsinger’s show includes several statements that apparently refer to “Moore’s Law is not dead.” Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang’s comments last week In light of his company’s RTX 4090 and RTX 4080 announcements, Gelsinger even gave a slide of the various chips’ entire production pipeline, saying, “Moore’s Law: alive and well.” “We will stay true to Moore’s Law,” he added.
