This week is still quite fulfilling for Intel fans, because the veteran semiconductor company officially launched a discrete graphics card for the mobile market, including three different models of 3/5/7, of which arc 3 will be the first to meet with everyone. However, for gamers, although the graphics performance of Arc 3 is far beyond the core display, everyone is most concerned about the performance of Arc 7, so what level can Arc 7 achieve?
With Intel announcing the graphics parameters of the three different models of Arc 3/5/7, we were also able to compare Intel's graphics with Nvidia, such as the RTX 3070 Ti, and it was also reported that the performance of Intel's Arc 7 graphics was about the same as that of the RTX3070 Ti. Through comparison, it was found that the Intel Arc 7, DG2-512 version, has a total of 21.7 billion transistors, far exceeding AMD's Navi 22 and Nvidia's GA104, the former with 17.2 billion transistors, while the latter has 17.4 billion transistors, which is 24% higher. Of course, because Intel uses the TSMC 6nm process, compared with Samsung 8nm and TSMC 7nm, it has a relatively large advantage in transistor density, so Intel can arrange more transistors under the premise of maintaining the core area.
Although the number of transistors does not represent the actual performance of the graphics card, after all, the major graphics architecture is different, but at least it can be explained that more transistors can allow Intel to lay out more functions, such as XeSS or special effects such as light chase, in fact, for Intel, it is almost the same as having a graphics card that can be played with NVIDIA RTX 3070 Ti. However, in the second half of the year, NV will launch 40 series graphics, and it is not known how Intel will respond.
