Intel’s gaming graphics card “Arc Alchemist” for desktop PCs has been confirmed with the latest GPU driver.
The 30.0.101.1732 driver brings new game support and optimizations to Arc A-series mobility GPUs such as the Arc A370M & Arc A350M, but also reveals the final naming of desktop cards.
Includes Intel Arc A Series Desktop Gaming Graphics Cards A310, A380, A580, A770 and two Pro Series Alchemist models
The lineup is similar to what has already been reported, but this time it is provided directly by Intel.
There are some variations that drivers like the Arc A750 and Arc A350 are missing, but they may be released later, so preliminary support has been added to the listed cards.
The Arc Alchemist lineup will include the flagship model “Arc A770”, which is fully equipped with the Arc ACM-G10 GPU with 32 Xe-Core and 256-bit bus interfaces.
Earlier rumors said the Arc A770 would come with lower memory, but with both 16GB and 8GB, it seems to be a virtually completely different SKU.
The core specifications remain the same.
Then there are the medium Arc A750 and Arc A580.
These cards are likely to compete with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 series lineup and are expected to feature 24 Xe-Core (3072 ALU) & 16 Xe-Core (2048 ALU) respectively.
The Arc A750 is expected to be equipped with 8GB memory (256bit), but if you intend to compete head-on with the 3060 series, it may be equipped with 12GB memory (192bit bus).
The Arc A580 is expected to have 8GB of memory.
As an entry-level lineup, three models, Arc A380, A350, and A310, are expected to be prepared.
There are 8, 6 and 4 Xe-Cores, the higher model is expected to be equipped with 6GB GDDR6 (96bit), and the other two models are expected to be equipped with 4GB GDDR6 (64bit) memory.
It is an entry model that competes with NVIDIA’s 3050 and AMD’s Navi 24.
In addition to the gaming model, Intel will also offer two Pro models, the Arc A50 and the Arc A40.
The former can use the ACM-G10 GPU and the latter can use the ACM-G11 GPU.
- Arc A770. ACM-G10 GPU, up to 16GB memory (faster than RTX 3060 Ti)
- Arc A750: ACM-G10 GPU, up to 12 GB memory (faster than RTX 3060)
- Arc A580: ACM-G10 GPU, up to 8 GB memory (same level as RTX 3060)
- Arc A380. ACM-G11 GPU, up to 6 GB of memory (faster than RTX 3050)
- Arc A350: ACM-G11 GPU, up to 4 GB memory (same level as RTX 3050)
- Arc A310: ACM-G11 GPU, up to 4GB memory (faster than RX 6400)
Finally, there’s one model that hasn’t been identified so far, the Intel Arc A780.
I don’t know what this product will offer for the already flagship A770 configuration, but it’s very likely that this is a “Limited Edition” model.
Intel recently confirmed that the Arc desktop card lineup must be rescheduled in late summer 2022 due to poor software driver preparation and COVID lockdown impacting the supply chain.
The only GPUs available for the entire Arc series are the A370M and Arc A350M for laptops, which are also for specific markets such as South Korea and APAC.
Intel plans to roll out mobile GPUs in other regions by the end of the second quarter of 2022.

Explanation:
Intel ARC leak summary
As I mentioned the other day, Intel ARC will be behind schedule.
The reason is attributed to the lack of driver preparation and the impact of the corona on the supply chain.
From August to the second half of August, it is said that the latest information so far may be September.
Unfortunately, the next generation GPU will be released in September, so it is a bit difficult for Intel.
I think this is what a first-generation standalone GPU looks like.
To be honest, the two strong eras of AMD and nVidia have continued for a long time, and we will enter the market after the market has matured, so I think it’s a big deal just to put it out.
It’s a trick that can only be done by a strong company like Intel.
I basically welcome Intel to enter the GPU.
The reason is that there is a high possibility that DLSS-like technologies such as XeSS will be released to GPUs of other companies, and the market will be activated if there is competition.
The first-generation Xe is likely to be a dull product, but I’m hoping that Intel will bring a new breeze after the second-generation Battlemage.
