Intel officially released the Arc Ruixuan discrete graphics card at the end of the first quarter, but only the entry and model of the mobile terminal, and the landing product has only a notebook of Samsung so far. The launch of the desktop version is officially set for the second quarter, but various indications are that at least until the end of May or early June, that is, during the Taipei Computer Show, it is even likely to be postponed to the third quarter.
Judging from the news exposed by blogger @KOMACHI recently, The Intel Arc A series desktop graphics card will have at least eight different models, from the highest A780 to the lowest A310, a total of 8 different models.
The 8 models are:
Arc A780
Arc A770 16GB
Arc A770 8GB
Arc A750
Arc A580
Arc A380
Arc A350
Arc A310
It is worth mentioning that Intel has confirmed that it will launch a limited edition desktop graphics card in the second quarter, but it is not clear whether it will be named separately, in addition, it is this A780 graphics card, and the whistleblower KOMACHI himself also expressed uncertainty about the naming of the A780.
In addition, as the flagship of the A770 is the first time to see two versions of video memory, the information previously leaked on GeekBench is 12.7GB, obviously corresponding to 16GB, and the PugeBench DaVinci test database also appeared for the first time Arc A770, proving that there are 8GB, 16GB two video memory versions, but the specific specifications were not detected, guessing that there will be a complete 32 Xe cores, memory width 256-bit, Performance is expected to reach the highest level of the RTX 3060 Ti.
The strange point is that the driver version used by Arc A770 is 30.0.101.1723, which is significantly higher than the Arc exclusive 1330 version and the core display 1660 version publicly released by Intel, which shows that the Intel Arc desktop graphics card already has basic driver support and is in the final polishing stage.
Up to now, Intel Arc unique display, nuclear display is still their own independent driver, the former comes with a new control center, but the update frequency is much slower, bugs are much more, do not know when to merge into a unified driver.
As for the specifications of other models, it is still unknown, guessing that the A700/A500 series are all large cores, A780, A770 series are complete 32 Xe cores, 256-bit video memory, A750 24 cores, 192-bit video memory, A580 16 cores, 128 memory; A300 series should be small cores, A380, A350, A310 have 8, 6, 4 Xe cores, respectively, 96, 64, 64-bit video memory. In terms of performance, the highest hope is to reach the level of RTX 3070.
From intel has been exposed to the unique video information, due to the interference of the epidemic and technical problems, the release of desktop graphics cards may be delayed for a period of time, in addition to the pricing of these graphics cards, there is still no relevant information, only hope that as a new entrant to high-performance graphics cards Intel can have a satisfactory performance in terms of graphics card prices.
