intel is making insane Ws with that pricing

It's normal pricing if we go back a few years. The prices of nowadays' cards are going to kill PC gaming if they remain so high.

I'm hoping Intel can really compete with AMD and Nvidia and their high end cards with this sort of pricing. should hopefully bring it back down to reasonable levels

Even if they just carve out the lower end/budget end for themselves, would be a huge W for gaming.

Intel, AMD and Nvidia are for-profit businesses. Their goal is to make money.

Competition is only a good thing, but that's not enough. Seeing the price ranges of AMD and Nvidia - there is no way Intel wouldn't increase prices.

I mean probably in the future, but for now they are trying to capture a new public, with better prices.

Yes, logical step now is to be attractive now to a new customers and that's done by offering a low prices.
