Intel is now officially a player in the GPU game.
There are arguments for it and against it, though.
And when we mean cheap, we really mean it.

This makes the new GPUs from Intel quite affordable, as GPU prices keep increasing.
They’re not even close.
They’re closer to an RTX 3060 or an RTX 3070 in terms of performance and raw power.

However, they’ll get better as Intel keeps making new generations of its graphics cards.
We might even get a serious competitor to AMD and NVIDIA down the road.
For now, both GPUs are great options for budget gamers.
Which, ultimately, is the price range where right now, it has the most success.
In some cases, you’re free to build a whole computer for less than that price.
Intel isn’t much of a newcomer.
Still, on Intel’s roadmap, the company is probably gunning for that spot in the future.
They’re first-gen products from a company that’s been, so far, untested.
But regarding GPUs, it has had a rocky history.
Even putting aside Intel’s reputation with GPUs, first-gen products could be problematic.
But even then, the GPU is notably weaker than the best GPUs on the market.
As we mentioned before, Intel could very well have plans to produce and release high-end cards.
But that’ll likely take years, as Intel needs to evolve faster than its competitors to catch up.

It’s Complicated
We want Intel to succeed in the GPU market.
However, for Intel to compete, it needs refining.
