A new report out of China shows that Intel’s problems are more serious than you might initially expect. Last week a sporadic tweet from the company left everything up in the air, today we woke up knowing that another delay is hitting Intel, and it would already be the third, with its graphics ARC Alchemist for desktop computers, so much so that there is no specific new date, only approximate when they will hit the market.
Intel has been very reluctant to share more data about its desktop graphics delays and that’s partly to be expected, since the launch of the laptop series is still pending despite being officially unveiled, as there is no has no model from any manufacturer in stores. So when will these graphics cards be available to compete with NVIDIA and AMD?
Delays and more delays: limited edition?
Well, the leak comes from the Bilibili forums, where the user already known as Enthusiastic Citizen showed new information about it. Due to his success in previous leaks, we give him some credence when he says that the release of these new ARC Alchemists is delayed to Q2 and possibly Q3 of this year.
That’s very much in line with the speculation we ran earlier this month about it, only now it’s got a lot more strength and base so we could see a launch even for September implying that AMD and NVIDIA already have on your lap the news RTX 40 and above RX 7000so those Intel ARCs would come to market obsolete and couldn’t really compete with their rivals’ options.
The problem is that according to the latest estimates, the performance would not be as good as expected, or at least that is what the latest rumors claim that we are going to see below.
Intel ARC A770, A750, A580 and A380
It doesn’t look like these new graphics cards will follow NVIDIA or AMD. The SKUs mentioned above will be the four variants the blue giant will have on the table, with the A770 being the fastest of them all.
But how fast will this new graphics card be? Well, apparently the performance will be m ore or less similar to what the current RTX 3060 Ti is, which isn’t too much to be the best of the blue team, but in return it gives us 16 GB of GDDR6
As with the rest of the range, the A750 should have 448 Xe unitsthe A580 will have 8 GB from GDDR6 and finally the A380 would be the slowest of them all with quite disappointing performance being the entry level as you would think it would compete with the RTX 3050 but it seems everything is more focused on the RX 6400 than the first.
Therefore, the reasons for the delay once again (the third in question) are still unclear, it is still assumed that Intel needs time to squeeze its GPUs through its drivers, these are still in question for reasons we do not know, so that there is no choice but to wait once again to find out what is true in all of this.
