2 years after entering the graphics card game, Intel has nothing to show for it

Intel's foray into the graphics card market has not yielded significant results, as the company has failed to capture any market share since launching its first dedicated graphics card, the Arc Alchemist, in March 2022. According to Jon Peddie Research, Intel's market share in the add-in board (AIB) sector remains at zero percent, while Nvidia dominates with 88 percent and AMD holds 12 percent. Despite a 47.9 percent year-on-year increase in global AIB shipments, Intel has not managed to capitalize on this growth, facing challenges such as driver instability and performance issues. The company has not released any new products since its initial launch, and upcoming architectures like Battlemage and Celestial have yet to materialize. Intel's ambitions to disrupt the Nvidia-AMD duopoly appear increasingly unrealistic, especially given its current financial struggles and the competitive landscape. Analysts suggest that unless Intel can revitalize interest with its future products, its goal of becoming a significant player in the dedicated graphics market may remain unattainable.

- Intel has not gained any market share in the graphics card sector since its entry in 2022.

- Nvidia and AMD dominate the AIB market, holding 88% and 12% shares, respectively.

- Intel's challenges include driver instability and lack of new product releases.

- The company's financial position is weak, complicating its ability to compete.

- Future product launches are critical for Intel to regain market relevance.

This news is so terrible. It's a pretty good gpu! It's at a reasonable price.

Intel needs a graphics architecture. They might not be selling cards, but Intels also shipping new mobile chips with quite good Intel Xe gpus, which is great.

What are the alternatives? Stop making gpu's? Then, what, go back to buying small AMD gpu's to include on the CPU package, like with the i7-8809g?

Intel is really struggling right now, but I still have hope. We need some more competition in the consumer GPU market.
