Intel could flood retailers with up to eight different Arc graphics cards

The rumour mills are spinning up about Intel's Arc Alchemist GPUs, with regular hardware leaker Komachi suggesting that there are eight different graphics cards destined to hit our machines. Well, seven different GPUs, with the A770 supposedly available in both 8GB and 16GB trim. That's more cards than we were expecting, especially as just a single card could make a difference in these still silicon starved times.

The A350 for instance hasn't been mentioned in a long time, although this far down the stack, that's expected to be a budget offering anyway.

I'll admit that at this point in the year I was expecting (ok, hoping) to be looking at early review samples of Intel's much-anticipated graphics cards, but here we are, still eyeing up rumours. It's
