At a loss seems a bit overly dramatic. I'd guess Nvidia sells SKUs for three times their marginal cost. Intel is probably operating at cost without any hopes of recouping R&D with the current SKUs, but that's reasonable for an aspiring competitor.

It kinda seems they are covering the cost of throwing massive amounts of resources trying to get Arc’s drivers in shape.

I really hope they stick with it and become a viable competitor in every market segment a few more years down the line.

The drivers are shared by their iGPUs, so the cost of improving the drivers is likely shared by those.
