and new video (opens in new tab) On its YouTube channel, Intel has shared new benchmarks for the chipmaker’s upcoming Arc A750 Limited Edition graphics card. According to Intel’s 1080p and 1440p results, the Arc A750’s performance is on par with one of his top graphics cards, Nvidia’s GeForce RTX 3060.
Cumulative results show that the Arc A750 performed up to 3% better than the GeForce RTX 3060 at 1080p and up to 5% better at 1440p with 43 DirectX 12 titles. The Arc A750 was slightly faster than the GeForce RTX 3060 even in games using the Vulkan API. Intel favored the Arc A750, posting performance deltas of up to 4% at 1080p and up to 5% at 1440p.
Intel has not officially revealed the specifications of the Arc A750. However, the graphics card could feature 24 Xe cores, 3,072 shaders, and 12 GB of GDDR6 memory with a 192-bit interface. Additionally, the boost clock speed is probably hovering around 2,300 MHz. Intel, on the other hand, used EVGA’s GeForce RTX 3060 XC Gaming for comparison. This is his one of the faster custom GeForce RTX 3060s on the market, sporting a boost clock of 1,882 MHz.
Intel has benchmarked the same system of the current Alder Lake flagship, the Arc A750 with Core i9-12900K and the GeForce RTX 3060. Also on the testbed was a 32 GB (2×16 GB) Corsair Dominator Platinum RGB DDR5-5200 C38 downlocked to 4,800 MHz memory, MP600 Pro XT 4TB SSD. Intel used Windows 11 and a balanced power plan for testing.
One thing to note is that the Arc A750 used Intel’s engineering drivers, while the GeForce RTX 3060 used GeForce 516.59 WHQL drivers. The Arc Alchemist driver is still a work in progress, so it’s possible that the Arc A750 will be back in gaming benchmarks. Intel admits that Arc’s performance suffers with older APIs, so the company only used his DirectX 12 and Vulkan titles.
Intel still has plenty of time to get the drivers together and working. The company hasn’t promised a specific timeframe for the desktop version of Arc Alchemist to launch. However, the chipmaker said in a recent report: blog post (opens in new tab)“Intel Arc GPUs will be released later this year.”
