Intel finally lifted the curtain on its discrete Arc Alchemist graphics cards in a special livestream on Wednesday. The first cards showing up are specifically for laptops, and they’re from the lowest class of GPUs Intel is offering. From what little we know right now, though, they should have Nvidia and AMD worried.As was anticipated based on rumors about Arc Alchemist, Intel is leading the launch with its Arc 3-class GPUs.
Intel says Arc 3 GPUs are competing with cards like the RX 6500M and RTX 3050. In practice, that means gaming at 1080p with medium settings, targeting at least 60 frames per second . Intel’s first-party benchmarks show that 60 fps at 1080p is possible with Arc 3 GPUs. Compared to Nvidia’s mobile offerings, Intel is taking an interesting approach with Arc Alchemist. Nvidia allows laptop designers a range of power limits for its graphics cards, which makes a huge difference in performance. That’s why the RTX 3080 Ti in the Gigabyte Aero 16 doesn’t perform as well as the one in the MSI Raider GE76. Intel is offering a range as well, but the company clarified that the listed specs are for the lowest graphics power possible.
Along with the graphics cards themselves, Intel announced more details about the software supporting them. Intel Arc Control is a one-stop shop for drivers, tuning, and game settings, according to Intel. It functions as an overlay, similar to Nvidia GeForce Experience. Unlike GeForce Experience, however, Arc Control doesn’t require users to log in.
Same catch up game like with AMD CPUs right
