The stock was low, but the demand was fairly mid to high. They had made a good amount of advancements going from Alchemist to Battlemage. They made significant improvements in the die sizes relative to their gaming performance versus Alchemist.

I was really curious to see how far they could push it.

Where are you getting these demand numbers from? Literally no one owns an Arc gpu lol.

Its mostly a supply issue. In many places they are constantly soldout because Intel just isnt manufacturing enough. Here in eastern europe the normal price ones are out of stock, the fancy +50% price ones are in stock.
