Intel claims its Arc A770 and A750 GPUs will outperform NVIDIA’s mid-range RTX 3060
Ahead of bringing its to everyone in a couple of weeks, has revealed more details about what to expect from the graphics cards in terms of specs and performance. The A770, , will have 32 Xe cores, 32 ray-tracing units and a 2,100MHz graphics clock. In terms of RAM, it comes in 8GB and 16GB configurations, with up to 512 Gb/s and 560 Gb/s of memory bandwidth, respectively.
As for the A750, which Intel just announced will start at $289, that has 28 Xe cores, 28 ray-tracing units, a 2,050MHz graphics clock, 8GB of memory and up to 512 Gb/s of memory bandwidth. All three cards, which will be available on October 12th, have 225W of total power.
Intel claims that, based on benchmarking tests, you’ll get more bang for your buck with these cards than NVIDIA’s mid-range . It says the A770 offers 42 percent greater performance per dollar vs. the RTX 3060, while the A750 is seemingly 53 percent better on a per-dollar basis.
It claims that, in most of the games it tested, the A770’s 16GB configuration delivered better ray-tracing performance than the similarly priced RTX 3060 (which, in fairness, ). When it came to , Intel says the A770 had 1.56 times the ray-tracing performance of the RTX 3060.
Of course Intel is going to tout its GPUs as being better than the competition. We’ll have to wait for the results of our own Intel Arc benchmarking tests to have a true sense of the performance.
In any case, it’s looking like NVIDIA is about to have more competition on the GPU front. Only this time, it’s from an established brand that just so happens to be behind powering the PCs that might very well have used NVIDIA cards otherwise.

Intel Arc A770, A750 & A580 Graphics Card Official Specs Revealed
Intel has officially detailed the specifications of its high-end Alchemist graphics cards, the Arc A770, Arc A750 & Arc A580. All three of these Arc cards will be launching this month, offering competitive performance & prices to gamers.
Intel’s High-End Arc A770, Arc A750, Arc A580 Graphics Cards Break Cover, Official Specs Unveiled
The Intel Arc A7 and Arc A5 graphics cards will be the only desktop families to make use of the top ACM-G10 “Alchemist” GPU die. There are three graphics cards featured in the desktop family that utilize this design including the Arc A770, Arc A750, and the Arc A580. Today, Intel is taking the lid off its Arc A770, Arc A750 & Arc A580 graphics cards. In addition to that, following is all of the Arc official coverage that we have reported so far:
Intel Arc A770 Graphics Card – 32 Xe Cores, 16 GB Memory, 2.1 GHz
The Intel Arc Alchemist lineup will include the flagship Arc A770 which will feature the full ACM-G10 GPU with 32 Xe-Cores and a 256-bit bus interface. The Intel Arc A770 will feature both 16 GB and 8 GB flavors across a 256-bit bus interface and a TDP of 225W. The clock speeds for the card will be rated at 2.1 GHz for the GPU (Graphics Clock) and 17.5 Gbps for the GDDR6 memory, offering up to 560 GB/s of bandwidth.
It is expected to be positioned in the same performance category as the RTX 3060 Ti but will offer slightly better performance. We have seen several benchmarks of the Arc A770 here and here. The graphics card is expected to cost between the $349 to $399 US range.
Intel Arc A750 Graphics Card – 28 Xe Cores, 8 GB Memory, 2.05 GHz
The second part is the Intel Arc A750 which will also be equipped with an ACM-G10 GPU but house 28 Xe Cores (3584 ALUs), 28 ray tracing units 8 GB GDDR6 memory running across a 256 -bit bus interface, and a TDP target of 225W, same as the Arc A770. The card will feature a 2050 MHz GPU & 16 Gbps memory clock rate for an effective 512 GB/s of bandwidth.
This GPU will aim for the GeForce RTX 3060 series mobility options. Intel has shown the card to be an average 5% faster than the RTX 3060 across 48 modern titles. You can read more about the perf figures here.
Intel states their reference design will be part of their IBC or “Intel Branded Card” offerings which utilize a reference PCB & cooler designed by Intel themselves & parts sourced from their partners and assembled in Malaysia. These Limited Edition products will be available on launch directly from retailers and E-tailers. The graphics cards will be launched in key market regions.
Both the Intel Arc A770 and Arc A750 graphics cards will come in Limited Edition flavors and also custom designs which will be available globally. The Arc A770 will be as high as the Alchemist line will go and if you were looking for more enthusiast variants, then you’d have to wait for the next-generation ‘Battlemage’ lineup.
Intel Arc A580 Graphics Card – 24 Xe Cores, 8 GB Memory, 1.7 GHz
The Intel Arc 5 lineup is expected to include just one variant, for now, the Arc A550. The graphics card is expected to feature 24 Xe-Cores (3072 ALUs) and will also feature 8 GB of GDDR6 memory across either a 256-bit wide bus interface at the same 16 Gbps clocks for 512 Gbps of bandwidth.
The graphics card is expected to compete against the RTX 3050 and will be aiming at the $200-$299 US segment with a TDP of 175W. It is likely that this variant will be one of the best sellers if it can be priced under the $250 US bracket and close to $200 US since that will put it close to the RX 6500 XT while offering better performance, & a finer feature set like AV1, XeSS, better raytracing capabilities to name a few.

Intel Arc A770 Launching Soon In 16 GB & 8 GB Flavors Alongside Arc A750, Targeting NVIDIA RTX 3060 & AMD RX 6600 Series GPUs
Intel’s Arc 7 series graphics cards which include the Arc A770 & the Arc A750 GPUs are closing in on their launch & will be aiming for the gaming sweet spot.
Intel Promises Arc 7 Series Launch Very Soon, Will Include Arc A770 16 GB, Arc A770 8 GB & Arc A750 8 GB GPUs
New interviews with Digital Foundry and PCGamesHardware have revealed information that was previously not known or only known through leaks. Once again, Intel’s Graphics market team including Tom Peterson and Ryan Shrout, pointed out several details such as the Arc 7 launch, the SKUs, and the performance/pricing segment, just to name a few.
Intel Arc A770 Gets Two SKUs, A 16 GB & A 8 GB Variant
Starting with the details, Intel first and foremost confirmed that the Arc A770 will be launching in both 16 GB and 8 GB memory flavors. The Arc A770 is the flagship offering & was revealed to get two memory flavors a while back in leaks. This can now be confirmed and we can expect slightly different prices between the two models. The Limited Edition model will only come in 16 GB GPU flavors while AIBs will have the choice open to them to offer either 16 GB or 8 GB models. Intel’s Arc A750 will only be available in 8 GB flavors in both Limited Edition and AIC variants.
Blue Team Targets NVIDIA 3060 & AMD 6600 Series With Arc 7 GPUs
As for performance and price positioning, Intel clarified that the Arc A770, their high-end graphics card, is going to be placed between the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 and GeForce RTX 3060 Ti. This is also comparable to AMD’s Radeon RX 6600 series cards so it looks like we are mostly looking at the $300-$400 US price segment for the fastest Alchemist graphics card. Intel also states that they can not control the cost at which these GPUs are manufactured but they can control the prices at which these GPUs will be offered to the end consumers.
Pricing Can Be Adjusted, Arc Feature Suite Is Very Compelling
It will be a tough market for Intel to compete within right now considering the cost of NVIDIA & AMD GPUs is falling every day now, giving consumers more incentive to buy a green or red team graphics card at lower prices rather than wait for something that Intel has to offer but Intel isn’t stopping here, they also state that they have a good suite of features at hand such as XeSS, AV1, better ray tracing capabilities that rival NVIDIA’s RTX.
ReBar Required, Limited Launch & Software Optimizations
However, once again, Intel seems to be hinting that the Intel Arc 7 GPUs will be limited in quantity, and Germany is considered one of the key countries where the products are going to be available at launch. The cards will have both custom and reference (Limited Edition) designs available to the public at launch but there’s no guarantee that they will be able to fulfill the demand. Intel also talks about how their GPUs are very much dependent on Resizable-Bar and that disabling it means that you are going to lose around 40% of the total performance. That means you have to make sure that your PC supports Re-BAR before investing in a new Arc graphics card.
Regarding the whole driver situation, Intel says that while they are working closely with devs and engineers to fine-tune their drivers and performance in various games, APIs, and apps, the overall performance that you will get at launch will be close to final performance and that any uplifts you see later on will be hardly noticeable. They will be there but not as significant as you’d have hoped for.
Intel Arc 7 ‘High-Performance’ Gaming Graphics Card Lineup
The Arc Alchemist lineup will include the flagship Arc A770 which will feature the full Arc ACM-G10 GPU with 32 Xe-Cores and a 256-bit bus interface. The Intel Arc A770 will feature both 16 GB and 8 GB flavors across a 256-bit bus interface and a TDP of 225W. It is expected to be positioned in the same performance category as the RTX 3060 Ti but will offer slightly better performance and even compete with the RTX 3070 in certain titles. The graphics card is expected to cost between the $349 to $399 US range.
The second part is the Intel Arc A750 which will also be equipped with an ACM-G10 GPU but house 24 Xe Cores (3072 ALUs), 24 ray tracing units 8 GB GDDR6 memory running across a 256 -bit bus interface, and a TDP target of 225W, same as the Arc A770. This GPU will aim for the GeForce RTX 3060 series mobility options. While Intel hasn’t shown the official performance of the flagship part yet, they have shown the Arc A750 graphics card to be up to 17% faster than the GeForce RTX 3060 in modern titles and will be doing so in the $279-$329 US range.
Both the Intel Arc A770 and Arc A750 graphics cards will come in Limited Edition flavors and also custom designs which will be available globally. The Arc A770 will be as high as the Alchemist line will go and if you were looking for more enthusiast variants, then you’d have to wait for the next-generation ‘Battlemage’ lineup.
