Now, what Intel is going to do this summer is launch its Arc 5 and Arc 7 for laptops. So that's why it's very important for gaming and for content creation. An actual discrete graphics chip, which is what the Arc is, has its own processing unit, that GPU, as well as its own RAM. That's why it's just not good for content creation. That's why you can't really play games on it. It's an accelerator that uses a computer's CPU.

An integrated chip is not a graphics chip. What they did show us, though, is a comparison to the company's own integrated graphics chips. And we haven't really seen any comparisons from Intel to Nvidia or AMD's own chips. It's the very, very, very lowest entry level that they offer. So what they're launching at first is called the Arc 3. They're graphics chips that, for now, go into your laptop, and then eventually, they will be releasing full desktop class cards, the big chunky boys that you would put into your desktop if you want to play video games or you're into content creation. Intel has officially launched its new Arc graphics processors, and basically what these are, are exactly what NVIDIA and AMD do. Yahoo Finance tech editor Dan Howley has more on this.
