Intel also explains how the competition works on the terms and conditions page. There are 1,000 second-place prizes and 2,000 third-place prizes up for grabs. Second and third place prizes are $100 and $50 gift cards, respectively, that can be redeemed when purchasing an Intel GPU from one of their partners. Intel's flagship gaming GPU is sampling now. Intels new Core i5-12400 processor has 6 cores and 12 threads, but just the high-performance Golden Cove cores and none of the efficiency cores from the Gracemont architecture. Leaks suggest they’ll perform similarly to their Nvidia counterparts. The top model is priced a touch above the RTX 3080 while its sibling costs about the same as the RTX 3070 Ti. Concise technical data is given for each product. If we pretend that the GPUs will be sold at MSRP, then both GPUs’ price ranges sound quite reasonable. This generational list of Intel processors attempts to present all of Intel's processors from the pioneering 4-bit 4004 (1971) to the present high-end offerings. Subtracting $30 for the game pass, and $50-100 for the merchandise, and the GPU is worth $570 to $620. It includes a "performance" GPU, some merchandise, and three months of Xbox Game Pass. They’re valuing the prize at $900, so if you subtract $60 for the pass and $50-100 for the merchandise, you’re left with a GPU that costs between $740 and $790.įirst-place is offered to the next 200 winners. Intel is offering up a "premium" Arc GPU, some merchandise, and six months of Xbox Game Pass to one hundred grand prize winners. A prize pool of $430,000 will be shared among 3,300 winners and entry is free. Phase one of Intel’s competition was a little lackluster, but phase two promises to up the ante. In their updated terms and conditions, Intel hints at the prices and release date for two of their upcoming high-end GPUs. In a nutshell: Intel’s ongoing competition to win Xe Arc GPUs, merchandise, and gift cards is about to enter its second phase.
