A Leaked List To Raise Hopes
The leaked list includes the following GPUs:
0x5690 – Intel Arc A770M Graphics0x5691 – Intel Arc A730M Graphics0x5692 – Intel Arc A550M Graphics0x5693 – Intel Arc A370M Graphics0x5694 – Intel Arc A350M Graphics0x56a0 – Intel Arc A770 Graphics0x56a1 – Intel Arc A750 Graphics0x56a2 – Intel Arc A580 Graphics0x56a5 – Intel Arc A380 Graphics0x56a6 – Intel Arc A310 Graphics0x56b0 – Intel Arc Pro A30M Graphics0x56b1 – Intel Arc Pro A40/A50 Graphics0x56c0 – Intel Data Center GPU Flex Series 170 Graphics0x56c1 – Intel Data Center GPU Flex Series 140 Graphics
Here we see some GPUs tagged as ‘dg2_g12‘, a chip that Intel has not officially announced yet. This may be an unreleased/abandoned project. In addition, we also have the Flex Series 140/170 which have been discussed here. Some SKUs named as ‘Intel Graphics‘ are rumoured to be team blue’s yet to launch A200M mobile GPUs. As per reports, this GPU runs slower than the A350M acting merely as a display adaptor/graphics accelerator akin to NVIDIA’s MX series.
Release Date and Performance
Recently, we got information from Intel themself that the next-Gen ‘Battlemage‘ and ‘Celestial‘ GPUs were already in production. Thus, Intel will not back out after just 1 attempt. They’re aiming to stay here for much longer. As for the performance numbers, the Arc A380 due to driver optimizations now runs ‘flawlessly‘. The Arc A GPUs are set to hit the shelves sometime in Q3 2022. This deadline will end in 20–30 days. So in short, you will get an Arc GPU by the end of this year. We just don’t know when.
