On March 31, the news of Intel's official website has launched the detailed parameters of the 5 chips of Ruixuan graphics cards, but these graphics cards are not Intel's own Intel 7 process (the original 10nm process), but choose TSMC 6nm process, I don't know whether I think my process is backward, or the chip production capacity is insufficient.
From the official data, the positioning of these 5 graphics cards is about equivalent to NVIDIA's RTX 3050 to RTX 3080 Ti, and the video memory ranges from 4GB to 16GB, and the whole series supports light tracking. However, it is still difficult to say how the performance is, but after all, it is Intel's first generation of consumer graphics cards, and the technology should not be so mature, and it is difficult to compare with the RTX 30 series graphics cards.
In the graphics card industry, NVIDIA is the unquestionable king, the first two years coincided with the tide of the mine, RTX 30 series graphics card part of the model can be a premium of one or two times. However, now that the tide of mines has passed and the graphics card premium is getting lower and lower, is Intel really the best time to enter at this time? In 2021, Intel was overtaken by Samsung and became the world's second largest semiconductor manufacturer, and now it has opened a new business, even if it makes more money than during the mine tide, it can increase revenue and is expected to regain the semiconductor throne.
The game performance of the graphics card should not only look at the theoretical performance, but more importantly, drive optimization. AMD graphics cards are inexpensive, but the recommendation in graphics cards is not high, because many players have encountered driver problems. Xiao Lei is also an AMD graphics card user, and has never encountered the problem of dropping the driver, and it seems that the driver is not very frequent.
In addition, graphics card manufacturers will cooperate with game manufacturers to optimize, after optimization, the game frame rate will be more stable, but also able to apply some new features developed by NVIDIA, AMD, such as DLSS and FSR. There are significantly more game manufacturers working with NVIDIA, and many games are even named "A black".
Although Intel has many core display users, it has little experience with the unique display, and the driver and joint optimization must start from scratch. Intel is a big business, even if it can't succeed in the short term, don't worry too much, the economic strength is strong enough. But AMD has been working on the graphics card market for many years, and the image of the drive has continued to this day, not to mention Intel.
In the early stage, the sharp display card will not sell much, but Intel needs to insist, after a few years of technology maturity, product recognition has come up, and the graphics card market may not appear in a three-legged situation.
