Ah yes, forgot about that
Just because some of the internals of an arch increase by 50% or double doesn't mean that translates to performance, it doesn't, that's basically the message here.

I'm definitely happy with the XTX performance overall now they seem to have gotten a good handle on the drivers, very tweakable too for more oomph

Its had seen some solid performance improvements and after 4 months of running this card now i can still say its never put a foot wrong, its still install and forget.
I'v been working a lot of Unreal Engine since i got it and because i spend many hours in there at a time i have set up an in driver downclock / undervolt profile, every time i launch the engine there is a slight screen flicker as it enables the profile and another slight flicker as it switches back to the global profile when i exit, day in day out, love it.
And the performance of the thing for way under £500 now is stonking.

Rumor is that Intel have gone with 4nm "coupled with increased IPC, clock speeds, and other features". I'm thinking these might be a decent upgrade from the A770, and hopefully well priced.

Intel Arc Xe2 "Battlemage" Discrete GPUs Made on TSMC 4 nm Process
Intel has reportedly chosen the TSMC 4 nm EUV foundry node for its next generation Arc Xe2 discrete GPUs based on the "Battlemage" graphics architecture. This would mark a generational upgrade from the Arc "Alchemist" family, which Intel built on the TSMC 6 nm DUV process. The TSMC N4 node...
New driver up. Reportedly addresses idle power issues.

I didn't notice any difference in my idle power, but I'm not sure if higher refresh rates just undo that small fix Intel made for most cards a while back.
I've definitely seen the firmware update message on my BiFrost card more than once before, but I had read that Acer were lazy and hadn't done any work for this, and their own driver didn't include anything.

Good video and its impressive how far Intel have come with it, even if there is still more work that need's to be done.
Intel's problem is still this.

Its equivalent to an RX 6650 XT, that card is $220, the A770 is $270, you could argue because the A770 has 16GB its worth more, i don't disagree with that tho i do think 12GB should be the minimum for lower mid level cards these days and the 6650 XT's price is more in line with upper low end and the RX 6700 XT, which is also a faster GPU is $250, still cheaper than the A770.
Even if you completely ignore the work it still needs its over priced.

The A770 is much less at one of OCUK's competitors.

TLDR: the A750 compares well performance-wise but they have driver concerns.
Arc A750 vs RX 6600 GPU faceoff: Intel Alchemist takes on AMD RDNA 2 in the budget sector
Intel drivers have improved, so let's discuss how it stacks up against AMD at the $200 price point.

If you looked at only the 1080p Geomean average you would think these are cards are neck and neck but when you look at the actual results the difference in performance between varies wildly.Tom's Hardware compares the A750 with the RX 6600.
