Two days away from the presentation of the first batch of the ARC Alchemist, rumors about Intel graphics cards continue to surprise us and a new related brand has appeared out of nowhere. ARC A30M Pro Dedicated graphics cards in mobile workstations. How do they differ from conventional models?
One of the absences that surrounded the whole rumor of Intel’s entry into the world of graphics cards was a reference to a line aimed at professionals. That is, those designed not for consumers of content, but for creators and, therefore, for professionals. Well, it seems that just a few days after the presentation of the first ARC Alchemist, we finally have references to this range.
Let’s not forget that this type of graphics card in terms of hardware is no different from the home versions, but it is the quality of the drivers and customer support that make its differential value. As well as improvements in color representation. So let’s see what we will bring the A30M Pro graphics cards for Intel laptops and what will differ from the A350M and A370M that we will see for models aimed at non-professional users.
What is the Intel ARC A30M Pro graphics card?
Thanks to the leaked specifications of the Dell Precision 5470 laptop, which will be based on an i9-12900H as the central processor, we could see references to an ARC A30M Pro as a dedicated graphics card as an alternative to the RTX A1000 from NVIDIA. As you can see Intel graphics card specs are not unknown and we don’t know if it will be based on the A350M or A370M, but everything indicates that it will be based on the most advanced version of the first generation of the low-end ARC Alchemist based on the DG2-128 chip, the least powerful graphics chip from Pat Gelsinger’s company.
Everything indicates that we will see the first teams with the ARC A30M during the presentation on March 30. In principle, since there do not seem to be any differences with the standard models in terms of architecture and technical specifications. We hope that Intel will tell us about the advantages of these models for professionals compared to those for gaming. In the same way we hope to see the models with higher specs or at least a glimpse of them. And it is that there have already been several months in which we keep seeing delays in the launch of gaming-oriented models, both in conventional tower computers and in desktop computers.
En todo caso esperamos ver que tal será el rendimiento de los primeros models, para saber si Intel ha cumplido sus deberes y las ARC Alchemist para portables, aunque sea en la gama baja, son una alternativa real, lo que ofrecen tanto NVIDIA como AMD en the news. Has Intel finally lifted the curse that has haunted them since the late 90s when it comes to releasing graphics hardware and being able to talk face to face with the current duopoly?
