Intel is giving away game and software bundles worth US$370 to spruce up its ARC Alchemist GPUs
After quite a few delays, Intel recently assured that its desktop GPU lineup with A7 and A5 models should see availability “very soon.” Hopefully, this does not turn into a “soon ™“ situation, as it would be a tough uphill battle against the next gen solutions from Nvidia and AMD. It looks like Intel is well aware that their Alchemist cards might not impress on the performance side, and is willing to bundle the upcoming GPUs with games and software worth US$370 to entice potential buyers. This is part of a new Software Advantage Program that is targeting pre-built desktop and laptop systems. Since the desktop GPUs are not yet available, this promotion is only available for laptop systems with A550M, A730M and A770M GPUs for the time being.
According to the Terms & Conditions of the latest Intel Software Advantage Program, the games that are offered for download at no additional cost include:
- Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II (Full Download ARV: US$69.99)
- Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed (Full Download ARV: US$39.99)
- Gotham Knights (Full Download ARV: US$59.99)
- Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodhunt (In-Game Content ARV: US$20.00)
In addition, there is also the possibility of choosing three from the following five applications:
- PowerDirector 365 (Full Download ARV: US$69.99)
- D5 Render (Subscription ARV: US$114.00)
- MAGIX Video Pro X14 (Subscription ARV: US$60.00)
- Topaz Gigapixel AI (Full Download ARV: US$99.99)
- XSplit Premium Suite (Subscription ARV: US$60.00)
The ARC GPU promotion will be available for pre-built systems until December 31, 2022, and the redemption period will last until January 31, 2023.
