'We thought that we would be able to leverage the integrated graphics software stack, and it was wholly inadequate for the performance levels, gaming compatibility, etc. that we needed. So we are not hitting our four million unit goal in the discrete graphics space, even as we are now catching up and getting better software releases.' 'Our software release on our discrete graphics was clearly underperforming,' said Gelsinger. However, its drivers for discrete gaming GPUs were not on par with those offered by AMD and Nvidia because it chose to use the same graphics drivers as it used for the low-powered integrated graphics present in its CPUs. Intel really needed all-new drivers written from scratch to roll out its discrete gaming GPUs for desktops and laptops. Surprisingly, the company blames its drivers for the integrated graphics built into its CPUs for the delays and lower-than-expected sales of its discrete GPU lineup. Now, following multiple launch delays and limited availability, Intel said this week that it would miss its discrete GPU shipments this year.

To resolve a graphics-related issue introduced in newer drivers.Early this year, Intel disclosed plans to ship four million discrete Arc Alchemist gaming GPUs in 2022, but many observers considered the target rather conservative.
