Maybe this isn't strictly about GPUs. Or maybe it's just FUD designed to signal that no, video cards aren't getting cheaper and they'd rather cut supply than lower their margins. Who knows with this industry.

I would assume they are forecasting far less demand due to the crypto crash..

  Probably just the upcoming recession. Powell will destroy demand at all costs.

    Despite popular belief, most computers are used for business and unless there's an entire multi industry collapse, the potential demand destruction probably won't be that high outside of the prosumer PC gaming markets. I do think crypto is demand destroyed due to their own collapse unrelated but related to the economy in general. My expectation is that the next crypto bubble will take longer to inflate this time vs the last, but hell what's the point reading tea leaves. This could be the end of crypto. All we need is a new and exciting meme way for early adopters to sell losing bets into ignorant followers.

  Ethereum also moved to proof of stake and it was by far the highest amount of hash rate mineable by GPUs. https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2022/09/the-end-of-ethereum-mining-could-be-a-bonanza-for-gpu-shoppers/ https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2022/09/the-end-of-ethereum-m...

If I were Intel, I would see this as an opportunity to break into the GPU market by releasing their GPU's at very competitive prices and ensuring enough supply.

  This is my hope for the Arch GPUs as I'm in the market for a cheaper--if less powerful card. Sadly their performance with OpenGL isn't great, apparently because of an emulation layer.

  Their drivers mean their performance is an order of magnitude worse than nvidia or even amd. I would not buy an intel gpu until it can give at least 6700 xt perf with rock solid stability for less money.

    It's not always that bad, the main issue is it's inconsistent. Some games run great, others run slow, some are very buggy, and some won't run at all. It's gonna take a while to catch up.

  Arc GPUs already sell at a significant discount and are competitive on performance. The problem is that the drivers aren't mature enough and you can't count on that performance. It's way too inconsistent to pay that much for.
