Intel says software, not more cache, is key to beating AMD in gaming

Intel says software tuning and lower-latency design will matter more than adding bigger caches for gaming performance.

Robert Hallock said Intel is pushing tools like the Binary Optimization Tool and Thread Director to improve modern game performance.

The company is also working to reduce latency across the platform, including for older APIs like DirectX 9 and DirectX 11.

Hallock appeared to confirm rumored Arc G3 chips aimed at gaming handhelds, suggesting Intel will keep expanding its gaming lineup.
