Intel mentions high-end performance in a job posting, which could refer to graphics cards.

Just a few days ago, Nvidia and Intel announced a “historic collaboration” that will bring RTX power to future SoCs. However, Intel’s own graphics card plans will apparently not be affected by the deal.

Intel could be planning high-end GPUs

The deal between Nvidia and Intel could have a major impact on the gaming market in the future. Although the main focus of the collaboration is on AI, x86 products for end customers with RTX GPUs were also explicitly mentioned.

The most likely scenario is that Intel could integrate Nvidia GPUs into its APUs in the future to offer performance that was previously not possible with its own products. This would primarily affect laptops and handhelds.

Intel’s own Arc GPUs do not appear to play a role in the deal. So far, Intel only offers models for the entry-level to mid-range segment. Models such as the Arc B580 or B570 are considered affordable alternatives. At the top end, however, Nvidia is only competing with AMD.

But that could change in the future. nbsp;X user Haze recently stumbled across a new job posting from Intel, which he shared in a post .

The company is looking for a SoC Performance Engineer, i.e., someone who is responsible for the performance of a SoC (system-on-chip). The post also explicitly mentions “client desktop products” and “discrete graphics.” The focus is on optimizing the gaming performance of high-end desktop SoCs.

We have included the post here:

As is often the case, the job posting is deliberately vague so as not to reveal more information than necessary. Nevertheless, it could be an indication that Intel still has big plans for the Arc graphics cards.

Most recently, there have also been new rumors about an upcoming release of the Arc B770. This GPU is considered an alternative to AMD’s RX 9060 or Nvidia’s GeForce RTX 5060, making it the most powerful Intel Arc graphics card to date.

What do you think of these job postings? Can information be gleaned from them that points to new high-end GPUs? Feel free to share your opinion in the comments.
