Intel officially announces ARC desktop graphics card specifications
Intel released the Alchemist (DG2) discrete graphics card under the Intel Arc brand as early as the end of March. However, the first product for the desktop platform, the entry-level Arc A380, was not officially launched until July, and the release time of other desktop models has been delayed. Now that Intel has finally announced the specifications of the remaining three ARC desktop graphics cards, it looks like they will be hitting the market soon.

Intel’s division of ARC desktop graphics cards is similar to that of processors, which are divided into the Arc 3/5/7 series, of which there are two types of Arc 7, one each of Arc 5 and Arc 3, and one Arc 3 is less than originally expected. The Arc A770, Arc A750, and Arc A580 announced this time are all based on the ACM-G10 chip.
Most of the graphics cards announced this time will be equipped with 8GB of GDDR6 memory. Only the Arc A770 will provide a version with 16GB of memory, such as the Arc A770 Limited Edition of the Intel Brand Graphics Card (IBC).

Arc A770 and Arc A750 have 32 and 28 Xe cores of Xe-HPG architecture, respectively, with clocks of 2100MHz and 2050MHz, respectively. The Arc A580 has 24 Xe cores with a clock of 1700MHz, and these graphics cards have a 256-bit memory width.
In addition, the Arc A750 and Arc A580 have a memory rate of 16Gbps and a memory bandwidth of 512GB/s, while the Arc A770 has a memory rate of 17.5Gbps and a memory bandwidth of 560GB/s.

Although ARC desktop graphics cards have different hardware specifications, they are fully functional. Each graphics card supports the latest display specifications, such as HDR, Variable Refresh Rate (VRR), XeSS, ray tracing, customizable actions using Arc Control, AV1 codec, and other dedicated hardware video codecs.
According to Intel’s previous introduction, the Xe display engine has 4 display channels, supports HDMI 2.0b, DisplayPort 1.4a, and 2.0 10G Ready, and supports output of up to 2 8K60 HDR, or 4 4K120 HDR, while both 2K and 1080p can reach 360Hz, and supports Adaptive Sync, Speed Sync, and Smooth Sync three display synchronization technologies.
