PCPer Podcast 728: Intel Discontinues Arc A770 Card, Core Desktop Rebrand, AI Ruins Search, and MORE

No, Arc isn’t EOL – just the flagship card made by Intel. It doesn’t bode well, as Battlemage seems pretty far away, and the A770 seems to have run its course with A750 getting all of Intel’s marketing attention lately.

Beyond that, Intel decided to re-brand their desktop CPUs starting with the next generation Core, and Ultra is added to the mix to keep you on your toes. Also, other topics (in the list below). FYI, Josh was traveling, so he was absent this week – but don’t worry, Kent stepped up with his own burger review.
