Intel recently announced that the first generation of Arc Sharp Graphics card mobile, desktop, and workstation versions will be listed in the first, second and third quarters, respectively, generating revenue of $1 billion this year and nearly $10 billion in 2026.
At the same time, the third generation of research and development work has been launched, which will officially impact the ultra-high-end market.
In the GeekBench 5 test database, an Arc graphics card appeared in time, but at least the performance at this stage is worrying.
The card is apparently still in the early stages of sample testing, with the processor or the ninth generation Coffee Lake, and the model number is strangely identified as the i9-9600K.
The graphics card itself is 512 units, which is the full-blood flagship version, with a core frequency of up to 2.4GHz.
In terms of performance, OpenCL calculated a score of 85448, which is comparable to the flat RTX 2070 and RTX 2060 SUPER, which is far from the legendary RTX 3070 and RTX 3070 Ti, a difference of 60-70%.
Of course, OpenCL general-purpose computing performance is not equal to game performance, and the latter is heavily dependent on optimization, and must be the top priority in recent months.
However, from the perspective of a single project, many sub-projects can still be very close to RTX 3070, which has great potential.
