Given that the first Intel Arc Alchemist GPUs are expected to start arriving in laptops either this month or next , it's fitting that we're beginning to see listings for them. Desktop versions are expected no later than June, and professional workstation versions should be available by the end of September.
That is why a list of Intel Arc Aclhemist GPU models would have been found. But for now it is all speculation, since they will most likely be officially revealed in a matter of weeks.
Intel Arc Alchemist GPUs are getting closer
According to the leaked list, Intel's DG2 family consists of two independent GPUs: one small and one large. The smaller one will be available this quarter, while the larger one will be available in the second quarter. Intel has assigned up to 32 PCI IDs to its Arc Alchemist devices for desktops and laptops.
The newly leaked list of Intel-supported GPUs offers more insight into the first wave of Intel Arc Alchemist . The leak comes from @momomo:us, who monitors hardware manufacturers' websites. The list appears to have originated from a driver that a company uploaded to its website before the initial Intel Arc Alchemist release. This could provide a general idea of how Intel's DG2 devices will appear in their first wave.
Intel's Arc A380 , Arc A350 , Arc A370M , Arc A350M , and Iris Xe Max A200M graphics families are among the products in the Alchemist series. Since Intel intends to begin releasing the units for laptops and lower-end systems, this would explain why the list is dominated by "M" series products and Arc A380/A350 desktop models. It's likely that some non-M Arc 300 series models will be used in the OEM desktop PCs expected to arrive in late Q1 or Q2. With such a short timeframe, this would explain why the drivers are currently available.
The list also mentions Iris Xe Max A200M models, which use the name given to Intel Alder Lake -based laptop graphics cards equipped with low-end discrete DG2 processors. These are intended to provide creative professionals with GPU acceleration for video encoding and editing tasks. Guru3D believes this is because pairing them with Arc could jeopardize the new Arc brand , given that a graphics card that is essentially integrated is not what users want.
