Irrespective of this coding mistake, the bigger mistake is shipping Arc a year too late. In the midst of the pandemic, with the GPU (and chip) shortage on one hand and Intel releasing a decent card with good enough driver reasonably priced would have really given them a great window of opportunity to catch Nvidia and AMD in the GPU blind spot. It's been so confusing a GPU story to follow that it shows that there has been a lot of confusion and poor planning plus prioritisation in shipping this discrete GPU from Intel, ironically a story not different from their other product and probably indicates a systemic failure. The next year or so should tell us if Pat G can really turnaround Intel or not, most likely not.
