It's getting increasingly difficult to find an Intel Arc A770 graphics card that's both in stock and being sold from a first-party seller.

AMD followed up the launch of its flagship Radeon RX 7900 XTX and next-rung-down Radeon RX 7900 XT with the decidedly mid-range and more affordable Radeon RX 7600, skipping right over the Radeon RX 7800 series in the process.

If the above in-PC...
