![]() Jan 21st 2022 Intel Arc Alchemist Xe-HPG Graphics Card with 512 EUs Outperforms NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti (95).Jun 22nd 2022 Intel Arc A380 Desktop GPU Does Worse in Actual Gaming than Synthetic Benchmarks (189).Below, you can see the results of these tests. ![]() Using the tests such as Single DIP (drawing 81 instances with u32 indices without going to Meshlet level), Mesh Indexing (Mesh Shader emulation), MDI/ICB (Multi-Draw Indirect or Indirect Command Buffer), Mesh Shader (Mesh Shaders rendering mode) and Compute Shader (Compute Shader rasterization), the Arc GPU produced some exciting numbers, measured in millions or billions of triangles. The total amount of geometry is 20 million vertices and 40 million triangles per frame. Meshlet size is set to 69/169, and the job is as big as 262K Meshlets. With the 30.0.101.1736 driver version, this GPU was mainly tested in the standard GPU working environment like triangles and batches. Instead of using Vulkan API, the team decided to use D3D12 API for tests, as the Vulkan usually produces lower results on the new 12th generation graphics. ![]() Tellusim Technologies, a software company located in San Diego, has managed to get ahold of a laptop featuring an Intel Arc A370M mobile graphics card and benchmark it against other competing solutions. We expect to see the DG1 cards show up in OEMs' value-oriented desktop lineup later in 2021.Intel's Arc Alchemist graphics cards launched in laptop/mobile space, and everyone is wondering just how well the first generation of discrete graphics performs in actual, GPU-accelerated workloads. The GTX 1050 should be a $110 card-but we couldn't find a new GTX 1050 today on Amazon for under $300 or on Newegg for under $180.īoth launched versions of the DG1 card feature 4GB LPDDR4X, support PCIe 4 (despite no Intel CPUs supporting it yet), and offer HDMI, DisplayPort, and dual-link DVI-D outputs with support for up to three simultaneous 4K displays. On the gripping hand, if Intel (and its partners) can actually produce the DG1 in significant volume and on time, it could end up being a smash hit with OEMs despite mediocre performance-Nvidia's GTX 1050 and AMD's RX 560 are faster if you actually have them, but they're difficult to source. Improvements in driver quality over the last eight months are more likely to make a positive impact on performance, but we doubt it will change the card's ultimate place in the market-the DG2 may be a different story entirely, but DG1 seems fated to drive relatively cheap desktops without heavy gaming focus. The OEM version might even be slower in hardware than the dev version was-the new OEM versions offer 80 Execution Units (EUs), while at least some versions of the dev cards sported 96. Of course, those leaked benchmarks were on a development version of the DG1, and it's possible that the newly launched OEM version will be faster-but we don't actually expect that to be the case. With a Fire Strike of 5,538, the Intel DG1 dev card from that May leak is faster than onboard graphics-but it's slower than entry-level discrete GPUs from AMD (RX 560) and Nvidia (GTX 1050), and it isn't even close to being on par with higher-end gaming GPUs. If we assume that May 2020's leaked DG1 Fire Strike benchmarks are still accurate, it won't get close to breaking any records yet. While this is disappointing news for reviewers like yours truly, it's probably not anything to get upset about if you're an enthusiast looking for the next hot gaming GPU. ![]() These motherboards require a special BIOS that supports Intel Iris Xe, so the cards won’t be compatible with other systems. The Iris Xe discrete add-in card will be paired with 9th gen (Coffee Lake-S) and 10th gen (Comet Lake-S) Intel® Core™ desktop processors and Intel(R) B460, H410, B365, and H310C chipset-based motherboards and sold as part of pre-built systems. Intel told LegitReviews that DG1 cards will work only on very specific systems, with custom UEFI (BIOS) that supports the card: If you're hoping to score a gray-market DG1 and include it in a home-built system of your own, you're out of luck. So far, two variants of the DG1 have been at least partially announced-an Asus-branded, passively cooled card and an actively cooled version from an unannounced vendor. This week, Intel announced sales of Intel DG1 graphics cards to OEMs and system integrators for inclusion in prebuilt systems. (Technically, this is Intel's second run-it made a short-lived and unloved AGP-only graphics card, the i740, in 1998.)
