Intel ARC

Earlier this week we wrote about the budget Intel ARC graphics card ( Alchemist SoC 2), which in the desktop version is to offer 6 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 96-bit memory bus. We informed then that the card’s energy consumption should not exceed 65 W. Meanwhile, in addition to the budget segment, Intel also plans to enter the mid-range and hig-end card market – in this case, we are talking about the Alchemist SoC 1 chip, the chip area of ​​which is to be approximately 397 mm², thus being a bit larger than the NVIDIA GA104 (Ampere) and noticeably larger than the AMD NAVI 22. Although Intel still has not officially presented the appearance of its ARC graphics card, new renders based on all existing information about the GPU have appeared on the network. While this is still not an official project, there is a good chance that this is what a top card based on the Xe-HPG architecture will look like.

More renderings of the Intel ARC graphics card (Alchemist SoC 1) have appeared on the network, presenting what the reference project from Intel can look like.

Intel ARC – Alchemist SoC 2 budget graphics card for desktops can be equipped with 6 GB of GDDR6 memory

New renders of the top Intel ARC graphics card have appeared on the Moore’s Law is Dead channel. As a reminder, it is to have 32 Xe-CORE cores, 4096 stream processors, 32 units for hardware Ray Tracing acceleration and 16 GB of memory GDDR6 on a 256-bit bus. TGP cards should reach 225-235 W. New renders, published by MLID, somehow confirm the previous information. Two-slot design, mostly with silver colors. Black fans and black backplate are to break the silver color. In addition, fans. have subtle blue highlights ethylene.

Renders also show four digital connectors on the track. Three HDMI 2.1 ports and one DisplayPort. In this case, however, it is talked about using the DisplayPort 2.0 standard. Cards based on the Intel Xe-HPG architecture, according to earlier reports, are to support the latest version of DisplayPort. The top part of the card also features an illuminated Intel logo and power plugs. In the case of the top Intel ARC card, we are talking about one 8-pin and one 6-pin power plug. Interestingly, MLID informs that the premiere of Intel ARC desktop cards will take place in the second quarter of 2022. In the first quarter, the manufacturer is to prepare the debut of a version for laptops, in conjunction with Alder Lake processors.
