The
announcement comes against the backdrop of an ongoing chip
shortage and global supply chain issues, with chipmakers
struggling to keep up with unprecedented demand.
The company's Arc graphics chips, that help video games and
other content look more realistic, will compete with rivals
Nvidia Corp and Advanced Micro Devices Inc.
Intel said in August last year the graphics chips for PCs would
arrive in the first quarter of 2022.
Original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) are introducing
notebooks with Intel Arc graphics for sale in the first quarter
of 2022, the company said, ahead of its annual investor meeting
on Thursday.
"Intel will ship add-in cards for desktops in the second quarter
and workstations by the third quarter."
