Intel just announced that it will launch its Intel Arc A-series mobile GPU family on Wednesday. March 30.. Lisa Pearce, Vice President and General Manager of the Visual Compute Group; has posted the news on the official Intel blog. In that post, she set out the level of performance users could expect from the first Arc A-Series GPU for mobile and some general information about Project Endgame.
A special launch event called A New Stage of the Game will be held on March 30. More technical details and the presentation of the notebook product line are expected to be provided there. New technologies referred to as "Intel Deep Link, XeSS and more«.
The first Intel Arc Alchemist are coming soon
The first discrete Intel Arc GPU to appear will be A370M, and will appear first in the verified designs of Intel Evolution. Being within this certification must offer nine or more hours of battery life in real use cases with Full HD display.
The blog claims that the graphics capacity will be improved 2 times, compared against Intel Iris Xe with 96EUs running up to 1,45 GHz. The comparison has been using Metro Exodus using DirectX 12 mode. This would make the Intel Arc A370M comparable to the Nvidia GeForce GTX 1650 Mobile (50W).
Intel claims performance is helped by technology Intel DeepLink. Includes Power Share, which has already appeared on Iris Xe Max graphics systems; and that balances the power between the CPU and the GPU to adapt to the tasks that are performed.
The exact specifications have not been said, but he stated that they will be announced soon. They could be shown at the Game Developers Conference that starts next Monday, since Intel has already confirmed that will talk about Arc ray-tracing and XeSS technology in this event. This means that it is very likely that between today and the official announcement, leaked benchmarks based on final products and with updated drivers will come out. At this stage, Intel Arc laptop graphics should be in production and it is a matter of waiting, at most two weeks, for the characteristics to be confirmed and tests to show us what final power they reach. We know that the ones made for laptops will come out first, and next quarter we should receive the desktop models.
