Website XDA claims that the Intel Arc B770 graphics card is dead, a casualty of "financial viability." In other words, with memory chips now so expensive, launching a new 16 GB GPU at anything resembling a reasonable price isn't a goer.

The website goes on to explain that, "Intel no longer believes the project would be a worthwhile use of its resources. Considering the unprecedented rise in memory costs, and the added investments in validation, marketing, distribution, and driver maintenance, it's hard to disagree."
