The Intel Arc A770 isn't dead, but the company's 'Limited Edition' GPU is retiring

While many reported the news yesterday as though the 16GB Intel Arc GPU's product life was coming to a final end, it's actually the case that Intel is just ceasing to manufacture its "limited edition" models.

Back in March, Intel announced via its social media channels that the Acer Predator BiFrost A770 would receive a 43% performance boost, and
