Intel Arc A-Series cards are now expected to arrive in late summer Image source: Intel / YouTube Intel’s VP and GM of Visual Compute Group, Lisa Pearce, confirmed the delay to the A-Series launch in a blog post.…

Intel ARC Alchemists's launch isn't going according to plan - but then again, most of the world isn't. According to an Intel blog post penned by Lisa Pearce, Vice President and General Manager for the Visual Compute Group, Intel's Arc Alchemist launch has been hit by software development snags that have pushed availability forwards in all designs, from mobile GPUs through desktop-class Arc cards - whose initial release seems to be locked for OEMs and system integrators. The blog post also states the impact of recent…

Intel has provided more details on the release roadmap for its long-awaited discrete Arc GPUs in a new blog post. The company plans to use a staggered approach, which will prioritize system builders and OEMs in China when it comes to its desktop graphics cards. Meanwhile its laptop chips are currently exclusive to Samsung laptops in South Korea, but the hope is to expand to other manufacturers and markets soon. Intel says it’s working with other laptop manufacturers like Lenovo, Acer, HP, and Asus to get their laptops…

Despite countless rumors suggesting the Intel Arc A370M would only be competitive with previous-generation GPUs, it is much faster than we initially thought. According to new official benchmarks from PCWorld, the A370M can go toe to toe with Nvidia's RTX 3050 mobile GPU in gaming and productivity applications.Intel's Arc A370M launched around two months ago and represented one of Intel's entry-level products in its Arc 3 series of GPUs, accompanied by the lower-end Arc A350M. The Arc A370M comes with 8 Xe cores and a…

A new report reveals that Intel Arc Alchemist desktop graphics cards may be delayed yet again, perhaps even until late summer 2022. If the rumor proves to be true, this spells bad news for Intel, as both AMD and Nvidia are set to release next-gen GPUs around that time. A long road It’s been a long, winding, and rocky road for Intel Arc Alchemist GPUs in their desktop versions. Initially, we expected to see them launch in 2021, but they were first pushed back to the second quarter of 2022 and, eventually, to summer…

The release of Intel's Arc Alchemist desktop graphics cards could be postponed, according to a new report published by Igor Wallossek on his Igor's Lab tech site. Multiple sources have contacted Wallossek, and all agree that these desktop GPUs will be late, but how late isn't clearly defined, with the release window now expected to fall between the beginning of July to the end of August.Intel's official position concerning the release of its Arc Alchemist desktop graphics cards is that they will start to roll out in Q2…

Intel's self-imposed deadline to deliver an Arc GPU driver update has come and gone. VideoCardz noticed the timing error by Intel, but its headline suggesting that Intel "forgot" about the update seems somewhat fanciful. Instead, it might be more realistic to assume Intel's GPU software update isn't ready for some technical reason.VP and GM at Intel Visual Compute Group, Lisa Pearce, previously wrote in a community blog post that "By the end of April, we will add a UI option that allows users to toggle these benchmark…
