Intel is in a paradoxical situation in that the company has laid off a large number of its employees. However, we learn that the same company is looking to hire new engineers. The aim of the position? To work on the brand’s future high-end GPUs.
IntelGPUs: the company is hiring engineers to work on its future high-end GPUs!
Intel’s announcement leaves no room for doubt, as it clearly states: “focusing on dGFX Gaming performance”. Broadly speaking, the engineer’s future role will be to optimize and validate the gaming performance of the brand’s high-end SoCs and future GPUs.
Remember that Intel’s launches in the graphics card sector often left room for interpretation. Indeed, by launching its entry-level and mid-range cards first, the brand left the high-end sector wide open to rumor. Until recently, we didn’t even know if the Blues were going to launch their Arc B770, for example. Of course, the fact of having spotted customs packaging gives us good hope of seeing it arrive on the market.
As mentioned above, Intel is in a paradoxical situation, with news that the company is laying off staff in droves. We were talking about a total of 20,000 jobs, which represented 20% of the company’s workforce last July. Now it’s hiring again. In any case, despite the partnership signed with NVIDIA, Intel is not abandoning its ambitions for dedicated graphics cards. Which goes to show that it’s possible to team up with a competitor in one sector and continue to fight in another.
