Demoing a game from 4 years ago does this show the card is 4 years behind or is it just me?

Shadow of the Tomb Raider is still a very nice game with up to date features that can be used to show how their card perform relatively to other manufacturer's. And its also very likely that someone not familiar with video game is still familiar with it. I think its a good PR choice.

Hopefully Intel entering the market will make PC gaming affordable again....

I feel it feels like history is going to repeat itself. The last time Raja released Polaris and Vega, he was “showcasing” the card running with no performance numbers to share. When they are released, they fell short of the expectation he build up. It is not just about the card running, its also about performance. Looks like he is back with his beat around the bush, blowing hot air tactics.

It isn't a terrible game to gauge a GPU
Hell, everyone has it, and it has a built in bench.
Now, if intel would publish actual numbers, then we'd know...
Until then, it is just a PR stunt.

Agreed. Two things have me worried about Arc:

1. Changing time tables and switch to low powered, laptop first strategy
2. Koduri's shift in focus to bitcoin ASICs feels like a move for him to save his backside from an impending GPU debacle.

The elephant in the room is the price. Even if the ARC is only perform as good as the RTX3060, but if they price it right (for example USD 200), people will buy, heck, even miners will jump all over it, which will also drag the price of higher model, i.e. RTX3080, down with it.
