Intel's flagship Arc GPUs might be right around the corner | Digital Trends

If Intel’s drivers are anything to go by, we might be about to see the flagship Arc Alchemist graphics cards in the flesh soon enough — at least in their mobile versions.

The latest version of Intel’s graphics driver, namely the 30.0.101.1743 Beta, seems like a bit of a spoiler — it adds support for the A770M and the A550M, both of which are laptop GPUs from the Intel Arc Alchemist lineup. This would mark a huge change, seeing as up until now, Intel has only introduced the entry-level A300 family, both in its laptop and desktop forms.

While the Intel Arc desktop graphics cards are likely going to be the main event, today’s driver release pertains only to the mobile versions made for gaming laptops. The Arc A770M was recently spotted in a laptop paired with an Intel Alder Lake-H processor, adding weight to the assumption that Intel might be releasing these GPUs soon.

Aside from the tantalizing mention of Intel’s upcoming GPU flagship, the driver adds some much-needed optimizations. At long last, Intel introduced a settings toggle that allows users to disable the 3DMark benchmark optimizations. Referred to as Advanced Performance Optimizations, the setting ups benchmark scores by up to 15%. While this doesn’t sound like a bad thing, the setting does render the scores unusable for official benchmarks, so it’s a good idea to have the option to turn it off.
