Sounds like a promo that has very limited applicability besides select laptops and pre-built as I suspect very few people are going to build a PC with high-end 12th-gen and an A580-770 GPU as their first choice. If Intel wants its promo to prop up Alchemist sales in the face of a tough uphills market share battle, they'll have to extend the CPU eligibility at least down to 11th gen.

so they giving away free games for buying an Arc GPU, except said games won't run on the Arc GPU due to broken drivers lol

Not really the first promo of the "buy this GPU, get this game(s)" honestly... guess the scale is somewhat bigger.

For people that are willing to put in the work and hassle, they get a GPU and ~$300 of software they can sell so they could get the CPU for "free" or close to it, if they manage to sell the other stuff.

That is assuming the activation is transferable. For Intel to include $300 of "free stuff" with GPUs worth ~$300, I'd expect the licenses to be locked down pretty tight to get them as heavily discounted as possible.

Sure, and even if all of them are codes it still depends on the price of the bundle, I'm just saying that there are these type of people as well.

A lot of people bought pre builds to get a GPU and sold everything else off.
