Intel Arc series unveiled with the Alchemist dGPU to arrive in Q1 2022

As crazy as it may sound, PC World editor had to visit Intel HQ to even get access to Arc A370M laptop. Here’s a reminder that Intel officially launched its Arc A350M and A370M on March 30th. This later turned out to be a South Korean-exclusive launch for a single design. We are now at 5th week since ‘launch’ and yet no reviewer has officially received a laptop sample for test. Thus, this review is good as it gets, for now.

Desktop cards now delayed to July/August.

Rumours keep saying the delays are for driver problems lol


Who here will be brave enough to buy an Intel GPU at launch and roll the driver god dice?


The one thing we could take from this review is using the numbers to scale up the other models, the top end Arc mobile GPU has 4x number of cores compared to this one and runs with 100mhz higher base clock. If there is a linear scale for Intel the top cards fps would be 4x the numbers seen in this review

The a370m gets 4400 points in Timespy, so linear scale gives the top card the A770m 17600 points in a timespy. This is the same score that the rtx3080ti mobile GPU gets

wow when they do release we will probably have 4000/7000 series with even higher performance, Intel will have to price them low to have any chance

Well Intel is already working on its replacement called Battlemage that's launching in 2023; if its really just driver issues and amd/Nvidia launch their next gen before Intel launches their current gen then perhaps Intel might just scrap this generation and not release desktop GPUs until Battlemage in 2023.

is the performance ok, good, bad? Where is it supposed to land? i have no frame of reference.

In a very short summary: PC World youtube video seems to put the A370M in the middle ball park of the laptop 3050 range ... but behind the 3060 series. And in the single video encoding test they were able to do, it was closer to the 3060 than the 3050, likely because it could leverage the intel CPU encoders as well (a bit like quicksync?)

Whether that is good or not will come down to price versus the 3050 / 3060's etc.

They didn't slate it, but with such a small range of tests, its hard to say much more than that without a price reference.
 
Wasn't this intended to compete with current gen GPUs to ease the shortage? So if it's delayed until August, it will have current gen performance but compete with next gen.

I believe the top end was supposed to compete with the 3070 Ti? Yet by September it will be competing with a 4060 (ish) so they'll have to knock several hundred £ off its price. So surely they'll make huge losses across the whole stack? Also it will consume a lot of power if a upper mid range part is being sold as low end.
