There is a lot of speculation about the Intel Arc Alchemist GPU lineup, as it would include a 128EU GPU. That particular rumor claimed that the entry-level GPU would have either 4GB or 8GB of memory, but a leaked photo suggests that the Intel Arc GPU will actually ship with 6GB of VRAM via a 96-bit memory bus. .
If this rumor is true, it would imply that the GPU would be much more powerful than expected and would be in a mid-range capable of moving most of today's modern games. The leaker did not detail the memory bus of the card.
More unconfirmed details of the Intel Arc Alchemist GPU
But the leaker known as Locuza_ on twitter did detail the memory bus of the 6GB Intel Arc Alchemist GPU card. It showed a diagram of the 128EU-GPU matrix. According to the schematics, the card will come with a 96-bit memory controller consisting of a 64-bit module and a 32-bit add-on module.
The diagrams also show that the memory will be of type GDDR6 and will have a clock speed of 16 Gbps. Compared to the rumors of a few days ago, it seems that the only thing that does not match is the amount of memory. Instead of having 6 GB of memory, other sources claim that the 128 EU GPU will come with either 4 GB or 8 GB of memory.
There is the possibility that all these rumors are true, and that there are versions of the card of 4 GB, 6 GB, and 8 GB depending on the manufacturer even, to address different branches of the consumer market. It is also possible that some of these sources are using misinformation. But as with rumors, we must wait for it to be confirmed, most likely at the Intel Innovation 2021 event, which will take place at the end of October.
