Intel responded to an open letter about the GPU crisis, saying it is committed to supplying millions of gaming graphics cards each year

Recently, PC Gamer wrote an open letter to Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger, which can be said to write the voice of the majority of PC players.

The letter is relatively long, but if you read the opening paragraph, you can probably guess what will be said, and the beginning reads:

Can I call you Pat? I am writing this out of desperation because we have a problem with our PC gaming community and I really think you are the only one who can really help. The fate of PC gamers has long been in the hands of two graphics card manufacturers, Nvidia and ATI/AMD, so we're excited to learn that Intel is re-eager to enter the discrete graphics market.

Honestly, we really need you.

The content behind is probably what semiconductor supply chain shortage and other reasons I understand, but the dealer's current graphics card quotation is far higher than the official suggested retail price, and all aspects of the sales channel want to share a piece of the pie. Even if there is a possibility of price reduction, the parties will find ways to keep the pricing high, because it is not in the interest of Nvidia or AMD.

The author believes that Intel has its own fab and has more chips to compete for and control production capacity. Intel graphics don't need the best performance, as long as the upcoming Intel Arc brand Alchemy graphics remain competitive in performance and pricing, the opportunity will be unprecedented. If Intel can solve the problems of the graphics card market, Pat Kilsinger will become a big hero for PC gamers.

Raja Koduri, Intel's senior vice president, chief architect and general manager of architecture, graphics and software, responded to the open letter on social platforms, saying that she would be with PC Gamer, but it was a huge issue for both PC gamers and the industry as a whole. Intel is working to find a way to achieve this mission of putting millions of gaming graphics cards into the hands of PC gamers each year.
