But there was no going back, and no time to rest. Very soon, I knew, we would both be completely twisted. It was almost noon, and we still had more than 100 miles to go. The poor bastard will see them soon enough. No point mentioning those bats, I thought. “It’s your turn to drive.” I hit the brakes and aimed the Great Red Shark toward the shoulder of the highway. “What the hell are you yelling about?” he muttered, staring up at the sun with his eyes closed and covered with wraparound Spanish sunglasses. My attorney had taken his shirt off and was pouring beer on his chest, to facilitate the tanning process.
And a voice was screaming: “Holy Jesus! What are these goddamn animals?”

…” And suddenly there was a terrible roar all around us and the sky was full of what looked like huge bats, all swooping and screeching and diving around the car, which was going about 100 miles an hour with the top down to Las Vegas. I remember saying something like “I feel a bit lightheaded maybe you should drive. As Raja Koduri said, "This is exciting time to be at Intel.We were somewhere around Barstow on the edge of the desert when the drugs began to take hold. There is still much left to unpack and learn about Intel Alchemist and all it will end up delivering to an eager and hungry market. It is on Intel's roadmap and we can expect an evolved set of capabilities that will launch along with the product. Chandler said that things like game streaming and recording are something Intel is spending a lot of time ensuring they understand. Intel also understands that the user experience is important as well and is looking at adding capabilities that will remove friction for users that are looking to both gaming and creating content. He also said we can expect a large collection of games supporting XeSS, and it will grow significantly over time. He said they are working with dozens upon dozens of studios right now. Chandler noted that XeSS has produced a tremendous amount of excitement. While he did not say where the Intel Alchemist GPUs will fall wattage-wise, he was adamant that it was very important to Intel.Īnother feature that gamers are interested in knowing is where the support for Xe Super Sampling (XeSS) in games currently is and how many games might be supported at launch. Always." He said they are working with partners and enabling them with various tools to do what they can to help with lowering the wattage that GPUs demand. Koduri says, "Power efficiency always matters. So, gamers in those states may be wondering with GPUs now pushing into the 350-400W range, what Intel is doing to make their GPUs more power efficient. More states are looking at adopting energy laws that can limit and even prohibit computers according to the wattage they use. The reality is Intel could make every move possible and still not have enough supply at launch due to the state of the market, plain and simple. That said, he added that he is still very cautious due to the demand being so high and the market so demanding. Koduri said that even though Intel will be coming in as a third player, the reception it has received from OEM partners and end users has been phenomenal. Koduri agreed, saying the team was not putting in any extra work or effort into preventing users from using the cards for mining.Īnother question that has been asked many times since the announcement of Intel Arc is how Intel plans on ensuring enough stock at launch.
He also added that there are not any features at this time that are aimed specifically at miners, and that it was not a priority for them. That will not the be case.Ĭhandler indicated that all the optimizations and features Intel's engineers focused on were to ensure the hardware could solve problems and deliver value to gamers and creators. One question that many might be wondering about is if the cards will be gimped for crypto-currency and mining performance, similar to NVIDIA imposes a hashrate limiter on its cards. In a recent interview, Intel’s Raja Koduri, SVP and GM of Accelerated Computing Systems and Graphics, and Roger Chandler, VP and GM of Client Graphics Products and Solutions, weigh in on some of the pressing questions people have.Like cryptocurrency mining. Details about Intel's upcoming Arc Alchemist GPUs continue to emerge as we inch closer to the release.
