Almost a year has passed since Intel announced the highly anticipated Arc graphics cards as the official brand for its upcoming graphics card lineup. Since then, gamers and hardware enthusiasts have been eagerly awaiting a real sample of Intel’s graphics card.
Intel introduced the Intel Arc Alchemist 700 graphics card to attendees of this weekend’s Intel Extreme Master (IEM) Pro gaming tournament, so we finally got to see what the graphics card looks like. However, we were not so lucky in terms of features.
This is what the Intel Arc Alchemist 700 graphics card looks like
The Arc “Special Edition” graphics card showcased at the gaming tournament showed attendees a preview of the upcoming Alchemist 700 series . It was not specified whether the card is based on Nvidia’s flagship A770 or A780, which aims to compete directly with the 3070 and 3080 series.
In 2021, Intel announced that it would delay desktop graphics cards until 2022. Last month, the company further delayed the launch of GPUs, citing factory crashes and software issues as the primary cause.
Intel, which did not provide any information other than the appearance of the graphics cards at the game event, will undoubtedly face a tough battle to take place in the desktop graphics card market with Arc graphics cards.
