A month ago Intel launched the Arc A380 desktop graphics card on the Chinese market. This is the first foray of the Xe-HPG architecture to occur on one of the lower end graphics cards, which will form the full Arc Alchemist lineup. Recently, the Gamers Nexus channel posted their in-depth review of the Arc A380, and in the review video, it began and ended with a look at an upcoming Arc A750 graphics card in the team's labs.
Weeks ago, it was seen that the Intel Arc A380 was slower than the GTX 1650 and RX 6400 in game tests. With performance like this, Intel can't compete in the low-end gaming range, and therefore a higher-end card would be in the oven, the Intel Arc A750 for desktop.
The A750 for desktop is anything but confirmed
Thanks to Gamers Nexus, there are direct images of the Intel Arc A750 graphics card. It is expected to come with three times as many Xe cores as the Arc A380, as well as the bandwidth provided by the 12 GB of VRAM on a 192-bit bus.
The image above is a screenshot from Gamers Nexus’ video, which shows off an “Arc A750 Limited Edition” desktop graphics card. This would be the backplate of the card, and on the other side there should be two visible fans for proper cooling of the cores and PCB. A card very similar to this design was previously seen at the Intel Extreme Masters professional gaming tournament in Texas in June. At the time, that example was said to be one of the Arc 700 series cards, with up to 32 Xe cores.
In the video it was stated that the Arc A750 had already undergone some preliminary tests and benchmarks, but we’ll have to wait until “later” to see any content regarding this previous desktop GPU. The Arc A750 may be another early launch in China, but Gamers Nexus hinted that it’s much more likely to debut in markets like the US sometime soon and Intel won’t keep us waiting. Hopefully by then they’ll have ironed out their compatibility issues and the influx of drivers for proper gaming support, which is the segment that might most appreciate a third alternative.
