While Intel is gearing up to reveal new Battlemage products at Computex in a few days, X user Haze has shared an image of an Intel ARCade machine featuring a last-generation Alchemist A7 series GPU. Often seen as Intel marketing material for major e-sports events, this machine was reportedly found out of commission and unused at an unnamed Intel campus.
Intel was enthusiastic in the months leading up to the Alchemist launch, as evident in its marketing push for the product. This ranged from custom 60-foot air-conditioned gaming trucks to smaller Arcade machines, like the one we're seeing today. Following the delays associated with Alchemist and inevitable teething problems, Intel has maintained a relatively low profile with Arc since then. The desktop Battlemage launch is proof of this.
