The specs for Intel’s Arc Alchemist series are official.
The long wait is now (almost) over: after the small Intel Arc Alchemist A380 model found its way onto the market well over a month ago, the Chipgigant now also the rest of his models, and thus finally the top models, are officially presented. However, one important detail has not yet been revealed: the exact release date.
Intel Arc A770
The flagship of the Arc Alchemist series is available in two variants: Once with 8.0 gigabytes and once with 16.0 gigabytes of graphics memory. Other than that, the two models are completely identical. They clock at 2,100 megahertz, the memory bandwidth is 560 gigabytes per second and each has 512 XMX engines (formerly known as Execution Units, EUs) on it.
Each XMX engine consists of eight cores, resulting in a total of 4,096 cores. The 512 XMX engines are also clustered into 32 Xe cores, each with a ray tracing unit. The performance should be roughly on par with the Nvidia Geforce RTX 3060 Ti, and the price should be in the $350 to $400 range.
Intel is slowly rolling out their graphics cards and meanwhile other cards are at their cheapest in a long time. You can find the current top deals here:

Intel Arc A750
The second most powerful model is Intel’s Arc Alchemist 750. At 2,050 megahertz, it clocks slightly slower than the flagship and is only slightly behind when it comes to computing cores. 3,584 computing cores do their work in 28 Xe cores or 448 XMX engines. The eight gigabytes of graphics memory bring it to a memory bandwidth of 512 gigabytes per second and the performance is said to be slightly above the Nvidia Geforce RTX 3060, the price in the range of 300 to 350 US dollars.
Intel Arc A580
Intel’s Arc Alchemist A580 brings up the rear. At 1,700 megahertz, it clocks significantly slower than the two top models, the A770 and A750. In addition, it is noticeably weaker with 3,072 cores in 384 XMX engines or 24 Xe cores. It challenges the Nvidia Geforce RTX 3050 and should range in price from 200 to 300 US dollars.

When will the new graphics cards from Intel appear? The company has not commented specifically on this. However, it is expected to be published this month.
While Intel is releasing graphics cards that compete with the Nvidia RTX 3000 series graphics cards, the 4000 series is already on the horizon. You can find out how a leaked picture reveals something about this series here:
