Previously, Intel officials revealed that the long-awaited Intel Arc Alchemist desktop graphics card is not expected to debut until Q2. However, recently at the Intel Extreme Masters (IEM) 2022 in Dallas, USA, Intel quietly took the lead in showing off the real card. The appearance is similar to that in the previous trailer, but the real card still looks a bit handsome.
Intel flagship Arc limited edition gaming graphics card exhibited abroad
Recently, a Bryce_GfxDriverGuru user shared on Twitter a photo of the Arc Alchemist desktop graphics card captured at the Intel Extreme Masters (IEM) 2022. The model is not mentioned above, but this is a flagship limited edition gaming graphics card. It should be launched later this summer. It is not clear which country it will be.
It adopts a dual-fan configuration, with aluminum decoration on the side and an all-black shell design. It is based on the Alchemist ACM-G10 GPU core and is equipped with a complete 32 Xe core. Since it is the flagship version, it is not sure whether it is the Arc A770 or the rumored Arc A780, but the memory part should be 16 GB GDDR6:
In terms of power supply, you can see that an 8 pin + 6 pin connector configuration is used, which means that the maximum power of the motherboard is 300W (150W + 75W is the connector, and 75W is the PCIe interface). On the I/O side, there are 3 DisplayPort and 1 HDMI interface. Intel has also confirmed that the Arc Alchemist series graphics cards will support DisplayPort 1.4a and HDMI 2.0b.
The flagship Arc desktop graphics card on display is expected to compete with the AMD Radeon RX 6700 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 series. However, in the second half of the year, AMD should release the new RX 7000 series, and NVIDIA will also launch the RTX 40 series. The performance will be improved again, which means that if the Intel Arc Alchemist desktop graphics card is launched too late, it may not be so attractive to players, and it will be time to price it.
Here is the complete list of currently rumored A-series desktop graphics cards:
- Arc A770: ACM-G10 GPU with 16 GB of memory (faster than RTX 3060 Ti)
- Arc A750: ACM-G10 GPU with 12 GB of memory (faster than RTX 3060)
- Arc A580: ACM-G10 GPU with 8 GB of memory (comparable to RTX 3060)
- Arc A380: ACM-G11 GPU with 6 GB of memory (faster than RTX 3050)
- Arc A350: ACM-G11 GPU with 4 GB of memory (similar to RTX 3050)
- Arc A310: ACM-G11 GPU with 4 GB of memory (faster than RX 6400)
