by ·

Intel said at CES 2022 that they would launch their Arc series of discrete graphics in the first quarter, and now they are going to deliver on their promise. There is a special event page on Intel’s official Arc graphics card page. Intel will be hosting an event called “A New Stage of the Game” on March 30 at 8 AM PT, where they’ll be releasing discrete graphics for the Arc line of netbooks.

The Arc A370M will be the first discrete graphics card released, said Lisa Pearce, vice president, and general manager of Intel’s Visual Computing Group.

What performance can we expect from the first product to make it to market, the Intel Arc A370M?

The first Intel Arc discrete graphics products to enter the mobile market will enable up to a 2X improvement in graphics performance vs. integrated graphics alone while maintaining similar form factors.

2x performance claim based on average FPS at 1080p Medium with Metro Exodus (DX12) as of March 3, 2022 as the beginning of the disclosure. Intel Arc system: Intel Core i7-12700H processor 14C/20T, 32GB 4800Mhz system memory, Intel Arc A370M graphics, Windows 11 Pro v10.0.22000, Preproduction driver as of March 2022, total system TDP 40W. Intel Core system: Intel Core i71280P 14C/20T, 32GB 4800 MHz system memory, Iris Xe integrated graphics, Windows 11 Pro 21H2 22000.493, Driver version 30.0.101.1029, total system TDP 28W.

If there is no accident, the Intel Arc A370M graphics card is based on the DG2-128EU GPU. In addition, it is possible to see the A350M, which will be equipped with thin and light notebooks. Intel Arc Alchemist is their first-generation Xe-HPG gaming GPU, the desktop version of the Arc GPU is expected to launch by the end of the second quarter of this year.
