Intel has developed ARCade arcade systems powered by Arc A7 graphics cards. One of these systems has been spotted at an Intel campus, according to a tweet from Haze. However, the machine does not appear to be working at the moment.
The system is connected to a NUC Extreme PC, probably a NUC 11 Extreme, a model already used by Intel for demonstrations with the Arc A770.
Intel has already experimented with original marketing initiatives for its GPUs, such as the Arc Bus or Arc Reactor-themed PCs. However, all these efforts were quickly abandoned after the launch of the Alchemist GPUs.
It's possible that the ARCade system simply missed critical updates, or that the maintenance team stopped keeping pace with Intel's regularly updated drivers.
