The last year or so has been a tough one for anyone looking to get either a new graphics card or a current gen console. With the chip shortages all but bringing the tech industry to its knees, it’s not surprising thatNvidia saw its new RTX 3050 sell out immediately, and similarly with AMD’s latest budget GPU. WithIntelabout to unleash its own brand of cards onto the market, there are some promises being thrown around by people in the company, who are keen to make sure potential buyers have access to an Arc product when it’s released.

After a plea from PC Gamer, which included an open letter toIntelas well as a tweet asking CEO Pat Gelsinger to “help us,” the boss of Intel Graphics, Raja Koduri, has offered some words of encouragement. Specifically, they insist that the company is “working hard” to ensure that people will have access to “millions of Arc GPUs” every year, in a bid to plug a hole in the deficit that has been raging on, and leaving PC gamers struggling to get hold of hardware, for well over twelve months now.

Whether this will come to fruition remains to be seen. After all,Nvidia also promised increased supplies of its RTX 3050, and that card was sold out almost as soon as it became available. However, no one really knows how well Intel will be able to handle the shortages and whether it has the capacity to offer millions of products at a time when purchasing a new GPU is next to impossible, unless customers are willing to pay way above the MSRP for the privilege.

While Nvidia seems confident that the market will start to improve from Q2 2022, not everyone seems to be in agreement.Intel believes the chip shortages could go on until 2023, which makes it even more intriguing that a key person in the company is confident that it will be able to handle the demand once the Arc finally comes out.

The latest endeavor fromIntelmeans that the tech giant will be the third entry in the GPU industry, following the lengthy careers of both Nvidia and Intel. With theArc Alchemist hopefully coming Q2 this year, there will likely be a lot more choice for gamers and PC enthusiasts to choose from in the coming months. The only thing that’s worrying many is whether or not there will be enough supplies. Past experiences say no, but only time will tell.
