Intel just released one of the you can buy — the Arc B570. As you can read in my , it delivers solid gaming performance at 1080p, and at a price we haven’t seen in years. But it faces some stiff competition from Nvidia in the form of the .

Intel Corp (NASDAQ: INTC) popped as much as 10% on Friday following a SemiAccurate report that a new name is now interested in taking over the US-based semiconductor manufacturer. The news website added that the mainstream media has not previously indicated that this unnamed potential acquirer is interested in buying INTC.

The first takeaway, then, is that Valve and Intel are collaborating to tackle this, which is encouraging. With the strong integrated graphics performance of Intel’s Lunar Lake, this paves the way for supporting SteamOS on MSI’s Claw 8 AI+ and future handhelds adopting Intel processors.

Intel faces challenges but finds success in the low-end GPU market. See why INTC stock may improve with the right vision and a combination of CPU and GPU.

Intel faced fierce competition and strategic shifts last year. Is the company poised for a comeback in the near future?

Leaks suggest Nvidia is collaborating with Lenovo on a powerful new chip that will be featured in its Yoga line of laptops.

During CES, Valve developer Pierre-Loup Griffais spoke to Frandroid about SteamOS, Steam Deck and more and there's some interesting bits in there about the future.

Qualcomm launched its first Arm-based PC CPUs last year, and although they haven't exactly been a smash hit, partly because of compatibility problems, Arm-based PC are likely to be here to stay. Qualcomm is now seemingly looking to re-enter the server CPU market with new chips.

The most apt comparison is Intel’s own GPU, though. The Arc B580 is 17% faster than the B570 and 14% more expensive. That means the Arc B580 is still the better value overall, but there are a few devils in the details here to touch on.

Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:NVDA) chief Jensen Huang said Taiwanese fabless semiconductor company MediaTek could sell the desktop central processor chip the two companies revealed this week. On Monday at CES 2025,

It would be so much easier to recommend the Intel Arc B570 if it was a $199 card, rather than $219. At that price, it’d be 20% cheaper and a much better deal than the B580. Instead, when it comes to a pure value perspective, it’s a wash between the two graphics cards, but you’re going to feel the difference in more demanding PC games.
