The driver suite is certainly going to affect opinions of many long time GPU buyers I'm quite sure. I haven't checked if Intel has a similar feature to Enhanced Sync/Fast Sync, but that particular feature is a must for me.

Not everyone will find every feature that important and neither I have overclocked my current RX 5700 XT, but I do use other features like Chill, Anti-Lag, Enhanced Sync, in-game screen overlay, etc. At this point I'm actually more interested in how many important features their driver suite will have, since I honestly think AMD is that much ahead even Nvidia, having overclocking tools and such all in the same package, which I do enjoy.

Rest assured, when time comes, we'll have full blown reviews of Intel's new graphics cards.Ī seriously impressive performer this GPU seems to be, for a first try anyway. Still, synthetic productivity benchmarks aren’t good indicators of gaming performance. Intel’s GPU was clocked at 2.1 GHz during the SiSoftware benchmark, which means that at 2.4 GHz it could’ve pulled away from the 3070 Ti. But in a recent SiSoftware Sandra benchmark, it traded blows with the 3070 Ti and generally came out ahead. In an OpenCL benchmark run from November, it achieved just ~68,000 points. In other leaked benchmark results, it’s done better and worse. But there's any number of legitimate reasons why it might’ve underperformed, the likeliest of which is that it was clocked below 2.4 GHz for most of the run. At 85,448 points, it scored only slightly better than an RTX 2060 Super. Performance in the benchmark didn’t quite measure up though. Its rumored direct competitors, the RTX 30 Ti have just a fraction more. On paper, a GPU with 512 EUs clocked at 2.4 GHz has 19.7 TFLOPs of power. But this morning, a handy Twitter bot found a new OpenCL benchmark entry from the 512 EU model and it had a peak frequency of exactly 2.4 GHz. At the top end, the Arc Alchemist flagship has 512 EUs and 16 GB of GDDR6, and then there are at least two smaller models with 256 and 128 EUs and correspondingly smaller amounts of memory.īefore today, Intel GPUs had been seen at speeds of up to 2.1 GHz. Engineering samples are appearing regularly in public benchmark databases, giving us insight into their performance and specifications.Īlready, we know quite a bit about the series. Forward-looking: After many delays, Intel is finally within months of delivering its first generation of discrete gaming GPUs, branded Arc Alchemist.
