Intel has revealed that its forthcoming line of graphics cards won’t include software or hardware restrictions on cryptocurrency mining.
Speaking in a roundtable discussion with Gadgets360, Intel VP and GM of Client Graphics Products and Solutions, Roger Chandler said that that the company’s forthcoming line of Arc graphics cards, codenamed „Alchemist,” will not include „software lockouts and things of that nature.”
„We’re not designing this product or building any features at this point that specifically target miners,” Chandler said. „As far as actions we’re taking to avoid or lock them out, it’s a product that will be in the market and people will be able to buy it.”
He added that, „It’s not a priority for us,” while noting that, „we are designing Intel Arc and the Alchemist family of products as gamer-first and creator-first.”
