Next year, Intel will launch the first batch of Intel Arc Alchemist graphics cards for desktop and mobile platforms, which will become a new competitor in the discrete graphics market. Moore’s Law Is Dead Youtube channel, has repeatedly exposed information about Alchemist graphics cards, including specifications and public version card renderings.

Recently, Moore’s Law Is Dead stated that entry-level products (DG2-128EU) will be launched in the first quarter of 2022, first appearing on ASUS and Dell laptops, and then on desktop platforms. It is expected to be adopted on a large scale until the second quarter of 2022. It is understood that the DG2-128EU on the desktop platform may be equipped with 6GB of GDDR6 video memory with a bit width of 96 bits. However, the mobile platform is configured with 4GB of GDDR6 memory with a bit width of 64 bits. There is a difference between the two. In addition, it is not ruled out that there will be a version with 3GB of video memory.

In addition, the flagship model (DG2-512EU) has appeared four times in the Geekbench OpenCL benchmark (1,2,3,4). The verified desktop platform uses a Core i5-9600K processor, and the test results show that it is similar to the Nvidia GeForce RTX 2060 desktop version. However, this graphics card has a low frequency and has been running at a frequency of 1329 MHz, which is not a normal frequency setting, which is far from the rumored 2.1 GHz. At the same time, the video memory capacity also showed an error, only 12.7GB (normally 16GB).
