Intel's graphics team comprises many ex-AMD engineers such as chief architect Raja Koduri, who lead AMD's Radeon division when the RX 480 launched, and he argued the $200 to $250 price range was important for the RX 480 to hit. It's not clear why the A750 is the only card getting a price cut, but that $249 price tag is in close range of the AMD Radeon RX 480 when it launched. It would have been nice to see other cards come down in price too, especially the A770 which is officially priced at $349 (for the 16GB model). The Arc A750 is clearly important to Intel because it's the sole Arc GPU getting a price cut, from $289 to $249. This isn't important work just for Intel's current GPUs, but for its upcoming Battlemage cards as well.

Cumulatively, Intel boasts Arc GPUs provide 60% higher 99th percentile framerates (which means less stuttering) and 43% higher average framerates since the GPUs launched last year. Last December, Intel launched a single driver that improved DX9 performance in several games by around 50%, which is a massive improvement for just a single update. Intel has been working diligently on Arc drivers ever since the first Arc graphics cards came out.
