Intel has revealed the specifications of its upcoming Arc Alchemist desktop graphics cards.<\/p>\n

The line-up includes the top-of-the-range A770, high-end A750, mid-range A580, and the entry-level A380.<\/p>\n

The latter has already been released in China, while the other three are expected to arrive in October 2022.<\/p>\n

The listed specifications include the actual graphics processing units and recommended memory configurations, but Tom’s Hardware said<\/strong><\/a> the clock speeds might be higher depending on partners’ own optimisations.<\/p>\n

The top-end A770 will boast an ACM-G10 graphics processor packing 32 Xe cores, equal to 4,096 stream processors.<\/p>\n

It has a clock speed of 2,100MHz and comes with either 8GB or 16GB GDDR6 video memory.<\/p>\n

Peak memory bandwidth will reach 560Gbps, which slots it between the RTX 3070 and RTX 3070 Ti, featuring bandwidths of 448Gbps and 608Gbps, respectively.<\/p>\n

Previous testing by Linus Tech Tips<\/strong><\/a> suggested the card’s overall performance falls between the RTX 3060 Ti and RTX 3070.<\/p>\n

Dropping down to the A750 gets you a slightly less powerful ACM-G10 GPU with 28 Xe cores, working out to about 3,854 shading units.<\/p>\n

It will offer a clock speed of 2,050MHz alongside 8GB of GDDR6 RAM, providing memory bandwidth of 512Gbps, which is also more than the RTX 3070.<\/p>\n

The mid-range A580 gets 24 Xe cores and a 1,700MHz clock paired with 8GB GDDR6.<\/p>\n

The cheapest card on offer \u2014 the Arc A380 \u2014 has already been thoroughly tested and found to offer relatively poor performance compared to other budget cards.<\/p>\n

Team Blue’s entry into the graphics card market has been highly anticipated, as some hope the additional competition could help bring down Nvidia and AMD’s prices.<\/p>\n

But Intel has much catching up to do to ensure its drivers can support as many older graphics APIs as possible before launch.<\/p>\n

Whereas the two established players have had years to build out graphics driver support, Intel’s Arc offering represents its first entry back into the market in more than two decades.<\/p>\n

Intel has promised to shake up the industry by beating competitors in price-to-performance.<\/p>\n
