After Moore's Law is dead leaked die shots of the Intel Arc Alchemist GPU die, @Locunza_ took measurements, discovering that Alchemist's 396mm2 GPU die is roughly the same size as GA104, the GPU powering the GeForce RTX 3070 and 3070 Ti.

"Whether it delivers competitive pricing or further aggravates the shortage remains to be seen."
Let's stop being naive, they're going to sell out in a matter of hours, assuming that there will be any meaningful stock. Cryptomining is as strong as ever and Intel is using TSMC to produce these cards, how should they deliver competitive pricing?

Intel's use of TSMC isn't displacing AMD and Nvidia (Ampere professional), it's probably displacing Huawei if anybody. So more total GPUs will be made.
At the very least, all three companies will be producing "budget" GPUs around the same time. DG2-128, RTX 3050, and RX 6500/6400. Intel can also sell directly to OEMs.
