Intel is working on dedicated cards for mining, seeking to prevent miners from taking the cards for games

In an interview, Raja Koduri, director of Intel’s graphics business, revealed a lot of information.

According to him, the Alchemist graphics cards have completed the beta testing phase. and partners have already received samples, which they are actively testing and giving feedback, but the final product design has not yet been completed.

Raja Koduri also said that if allowed to choose, he will design a version which has blue tones: the sample currently filtered from a few weeks ago, is of a silvery gray color.

Also, he commented that mining is definitely not the main goal of Intel graphics cards, although he confirmed that already They are developing hardware solutions related to mining that have nothing to do with graphics cards aimed at gamers.

As we always say with these things, we hope it is an interesting solution for miners, since Intel will not have any type of coating for use with mining, so Nvidia has been left alone in the field of trying to curb mining demand with your CMP cards.

TSMC is tasked with manufacturing Alchemist GPUs to a 6nm manufacturing process, and is also facing a chip shortage that prevents a rapid increase in production capacity, although Intel’s current share of the dedicated graphics market it’s still essentially non-existent, so the priority is to release something, no matter how much now.
