definitely agree also, since this is a relatively recent development for Intel they also have to get their drivers & stack competitive, and there's clearly no better way to do that than by getting telemetry on exactly what ways your products are lacking and crashing things edit to add: I think there's also a really good chance that this winds up like the first generation of Ryzen systems did- not the most competitive, but quite cheap and with a few interesting features to get enough people over, and then eventually the future generations go on to go head-to-head with offerings from other companies. I would be more surprised by the complete failure and disappearance of ARC in five years than by it duking it out in the datacenter and gaming markets even at the high end.
