Alchemist generation kicks off this quarter
Written by Tom Kauwenberg on Thursday 06 January 2022 15:20
During a CES 2022 presentation, Intel shared more about their upcoming line of Arc GPUs. Hard details were not forthcoming, but at least the laptop chipsets should have been in circulation at Intel’s partner manufacturers for a while.
During this CES fair, Intel mainly focused on the CPUs from the Alder Lake generation. As expected, a first batch of mobile chipsets were announced (Alder Lake-H, Alder Lake-P and Alder Lake-U), as well as the previously announced Intel Arc.
Intel itself is already talking about the first quarter of 2022 as the final launch period for Alchemist, the first generation Intel Arc . There were no benchmarks and precise specifications, but Intel did promise that the Arc GPUs are on their way to partner manufacturers. The GPUs should soon be back in “more than fifty designs”, from Acer, MSI, HP, Lenovo and Dell, among others.
Intel does not talk about desktop cards and applications, although pre-build computers (from Dell and HP, among others ) and Intel’s proprietary NUC systems to come back in select pieces of marketing material from Intel itself.
For Alchemist, Intel is investing heavily in the synergy between cpu and gpu , for example when printing video content. Laptops that integrate both an Alder Lake CPU and an Alchemist GPU enjoy 40 percent faster transcoding than a discrete video card could have on its own, according to Intel.
In addition, Intel is focusing more on its own upscaling technology: Intel XeSS. The image optimization was last summer already announced in response to AMD’s Super Resolution and Nvidia’s DLSS, but has since expanded its market. Meanwhile, Hitman 3, Death Stranding, Grid Legends and Super People also support resolution sharpening with XeSS, according to Intel.
Intel mentions around CES 2022 still don’t have precise names for GPU models, but partners seem to think otherwise. On the German HardwareLuxx PR messages were received from Acer, in which the new Swift X16 laptop promises the inclusion of an “Arc-A370M” video card.
More precise release dates for Intel Arc are still pending. It seems likely that Intel Arc will kick off first with laptop GPUs, with a later appearance for
(premium) desktop GPUs.
