Intel appears to be cutting it a bit fine when it comes to releasing its Arc laptops outside of South Korea. With Nvidia looking to launch its RTX 40 series this September and AMD announcing its RDNA 3 architecture, the GPU market is getting closer to moving to the next generation. «Team blue» has managed to announce a rough launch window for its mobile graphics range, but there still doesn't appear to be an exact release date yet.

Responding to Game Union TV on Twitter, Intel has said that laptops containing its Arc products will be available for purchase by the end of Q2 this year. The company also recommended that people keep an eye on the the Intel Newsroom web page for any further developments. Gamers in Korea can, however, purchase the laptops right now, though additional OEMs will be coming out in other areas in the coming weeks. In general, it seems a bit vague, and many people have been waiting a good while for the Arc to launch.
