We were impressed by the graphics performance, though readers of that review should keep in mind that it uses an A770M GPU, which is the smaller, integrated version (characterised by the M). So far, we’ve reviewed only one computer with Intel Arc graphics: Intel’s own NUC 12 Enthusiast. Laptop markets get smaller, mobile versions of the GPUs, whereas desktop computers typically get the bulkier, larger Intel Arc cards (which you can see in the image at the top of this page). Like with Nvidia and AMD, the Intel Arc series relies on two sub-markets in the PC world: the laptop market and the desktop market. Nvidia is the company behind the current market leader, the RTX series (formerly the GTX series), and AMD is behind the Radeon series. Previously, Intel was a champion at creating integrated graphics such as the Intel Iris Xe, which would pair with its CPUs (namely the Intel Core series, such as the Core i5, i7 and i9).īut in 2022, Intel has released a run of graphics components to take AMD and Nvidia on. Intel Arc is the name of Intel’s dedicated GPU range. Well, player three has entered the market and now that there’s a third GPU option, so let’s see how it stacks up against the competition. The Intel Arc series of GPUs are now available for purchase in Australia, meaning you can have a dedicated Intel graphics card inside your custom-built PC, however, there’s still a lot of confusion surrounding Intel’s run at AMD and Nvidia, the two kings of the GPU market.
