    I do not count Arc as decidedly a failure (yet), allegedly the cards are pretty good with the new drivers. It was previous attempts of making cards that supposedly could run pure raytracing, that were supposed to compete with Nvidia in datacenters. But to be fair, 5 years of fumbling is some years ago, I was talking more 5 to 10 years back, where it appeared Intel failed with just about everything.

    But Itanium their new server 64 bit CPU is way longer ago, and so is the GPU I think it was Knights Ferry, complete failure with twice the energy consumption and half the performance of Nvidia. Only later production began to fail too, and Intel Core2 was shortly beat by Ryzen on all parameters, and of course Optane failed too.
