From another thread, Alchemist is (rumored) to be slipping:
Looks like the product delay/slip is already happening. Granted, just a rumor for now but give the track history of Intel, or more specifically the graphics team, it's likely to be true:
https://wccftech.com/intel-arc-alchemist-graphics-lineup-to-launch-in-march-with-two-high-end-variants-dg2-512-16-gb-gpu-to-tackle-rtx-3070-ti-dg2-384-12-gb-tackles-rtx-3060-ti/
"...it is reported that Intel had initially planned to launch its ARC Alchemist graphics lineup in January 2022 but that was postponed to the very end of Q1 and may possibly even slip to Q2 but that remains to be seen..."
Or maybe Intel will reinvent the calendar naming scheme, like it did with the process nodes. So it's not April 1st, but March 32nd, and DG2 will eventually launch around March 200, cuz you know we said we'd launch in Q1 and March 200 is in Q1, and DG2 isn't delayed! Trust us!
Agreed. VP R.Chandler is just wasting time collecting big paycheck, taking bonding leave every year. Need a leader who can deliver....or Arc is doomed.
This is why Intel has no credibility. Announcements and PowerPoint slides are worthless when you don't keep to your commitments and schedule. And no amount of "trust us this time, we finally figured it out" can buy an ounce of trust. How many backpeddling and delays on 14nm, 10nm 7nm, and now building fabs.
My prediction: Arc Alchemist will slip from its original commit of Q1 2022 ship to sometime in Q2.
And you wonder why the stock price is in the toilet compare to other (properly managed) semi companies. The destruction of shareholder value is downright criminal.
