Intel's ARC chips are actually pretty good, and would be pretty competitive with NVIDIA for the gaming market if not for the drivers... NVIDIA has three decades of DirectX driver support for many, many old games. Intel's ARC GPUS are infamous for rendering big magenta materials for many games, particularly old ones. ARC however has absolutely nothing to do with Intel Foundries however, as the Intel ARC GPUs are fabbed by TSMC! Intel will certainly get to the point where they fab great GPUs, but its actually a question of whether the software will catch up, not the hardware!
