Intel has no plans to limit cryptocurrency mining on its graphics cards

The American company Intel disclosed more details about the branded discrete graphics accelerators line Alchemist. As it turned out, the "blue" processor giant from California has no plans to artificially limit mining on its video cards.

What is known

Intel will not protect accelerators from mass buying by miners by adding algorithms to reduce the hash rate. This was announced by top executive Roger Chandler. At the same time, Raja Koduri, head of the graphics division, noted that at the start of sales, Intel will not be able to provide a large number of graphics cards anyway. But this is understandable, since GPUs will be produced in TSMC factories.

"Blue Team" will be the third major player in the graphics adapter market after NVIDIA and AMD. It will offer a reference model design which will allow partners to simplify the process of development and production of their own solutions.

It is believed that the appearance of Intel on the graphics card market will provide an opportunity to stabilize the situation with the acute shortage of top-level GPUs. At the same time, analysts are confident that the shortage and supply problems will not go away until the end of next year.
