"It's a complex problem, but we have invested gi-namic resources into addressing it," Petersen, also known as "TAP," told The Full Nerd crew, hosted by PCWorld regulars, as Intel launched the Intel "Battlemage" or B580 cards. "It's like enormous, and gigantic."
The story Intel's first A770 and A750 cards were expected to tell was one of a literal third-party competitor whose presence would force down the prices of graphics cards at a time where AMD and especially Nvidia were pushing them higher and higher. But the launch of Arc arrived a year later than expected, and the A770 and A750 followed the debut of the A380 in China that was accompanied by awful software glitches. Our A770/A750 review was also affected by several software issues, even if some weren't necessarily deal breakers.
Still, when PCWorld ends up writing a story titled "Are Intel Arc GPUs still buggy?" several months later, you know there were substantive problems.
Our followup article showed how the driver experience improved, however, and Petersen said that Intel's ongoing driver stack continues that trend.

It's been a quiet few news days as everyone seemingly parses deals from Black Friday through to Cyber Monday. But there's always time for a shock announcement: Pat Gelsinger is retiring after over 40 years at the company and close to four years at the chip manufacturer's helm. Effective December 1, Gelsinger left his post and his position on the board of directors. The board has created a search committee to "diligently and expeditiously" find a new CEO. Gelsinger oversaw Intel during a tumultuous time for the company. In late 2022, Intel laid off about 20 percent of its staff in some divisions. This year alone, the company announced it would lay off another 15,000 people — or 15 percent of its workforce — amid a $10 billion cost-reduction plan.
