Intel Arc A770
There are still a few months left to debut on the market of the desktop video cards of the Intel Arc Alchemist line, while we know much more about the mobile line-up, essentially based on two GPUs, ACM-G11 and ACM-G10, different both in size and capacity. computational. Arc Alchemist cards will also be able to count on technologies such as XeSS, Intel's alternative to NVIDIA's DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling) or AMD's FidelityFX Super Resolution, hardware support for AV1 encoding, Speed Sync, Smooth Sync and more (find all details in our previous dedicated article).Photo Credit: Geekbench Recently, as reported by colleagues at VideoCardz, a card equipped with the flagship chip of the Arc Alchemist range, ACM-G10 , which should presumably be called the Arc A770, was put to the test on the popular Geekbench software, coupled with a ninth generation Intel Core i5-9600K “Coffee Lake” processor, which is rather outdated by today's standards. According to what reported by Geekbench, the card offers 512 Execution Units, called Xe Vector Engine, and 32 Xe-Core, while the memory should be 16GB (12.7GB have been allocated for testing). The maximum operating frequency was 2.4GHz, 200MHz more than the Arc 3 mobile GPU. Looking at the results, we can see that in the OpenCL test the card certainly did not shine, given that with its 85,585 points it is even surpassed by a GeForce RTX 3060 Laptop (89.012).| ); }

For now, we just have to wait patiently a few more weeks to learn more, as Intel desktop graphics cards are scheduled to launch next summer.
Intel Arc Alchemist A770 desktop GPU: full ACM-G10 GPU at 2.4GHz
Intel has reportedly delayed its Arc Alchemist desktop GPUs to somewhere in the late Q2 or early Q3 2022... but now we have some news on the Arc A770 graphics card.

The new Intel Arc Alchemist A770 would feature the full ACM-G10 GPU with clocks at 2.4GHz, and 16GB of GDDR6 memory onboard. The news of the Arc A770 has been tested on the older-gen Intel 9th Gen Core 'Coffee Lake' CPU -- the Core i5-9600K processor in particular -- which is used by Intel staffers for internal testing.
The Geekbench listing shows 12.7GB of RAM, but we know that'll be 16GB of GDDR6 memory, while the GPU clocks are at 2.4GHz. At 2.4GHz, that's 200MHz higher than the Arc 3 mobile GPU at 2.2GHz -- but 2.4GHz is also higher than the 2.25GHz (2250MHz) GPU clocks on their desktop GPU.
In the end, the OpenCL benchmark of the Intel Arc A770 hits 85585 points, making it slower than NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 3060 Laptop GPU (which has 89012 points). We should expect Intel's new Arc A770 to pack 4096 FP32 cores, 16GB of GDDR6 memory, and 175W of power.
As for the release... who knows... Q3 2022 maybe, I guess.
