Intel has recently launched the Arc A380 discrete graphics card, but it is an entry-level game card. You should be more curious about whether Intel can compete with AMD and NVIDIA at the mainstream and higher-end levels. Intel has not yet revealed when it will bring more advanced desktop discrete graphics cards. However, on laptops, Intel has previously stated that they will launch A7 and A5 series discrete graphics cards this summer, and recently, Intel officially released the game test results of the Arc A770M and A730M.
Arc A770M is Intel’s current highest-end model of discrete graphics in notebooks. It uses a complete ACM-G10 SoC, with 32 Xe-cores, with 16GB 256-bit GDDR6 video memory, and the default TGP is 120-150W. The Arc A730M is reduced to 24 Xe-cores, and the video memory is also reduced to 12GB 192-bit GDDR6 and 80-120W TGP.
In Intel’s gaming benchmark scores provided to
Tom’s Hardware, overall, the Arc A770M is about 13% higher than the RTX 3060 notebook version. However, Intel has not announced the TGP of the test graphics card. It is well known that the performance of mobile GPUs is closely related to power consumption. Even with the same GPU, there will be a big gap due to different power consumption, so Tom’s Hardware speculates that the performance increase between Intel’s Alchemist architecture and NVIDIA Ampere architecture should be less than 15%.
