Earlier this year, at the end of March, Intel released its highly anticipated arc independent graphics card, initially with a mobile GPU, followed by desktop components later this year. However, what may disappoint many people around the world who expect Intel's independent GPU is that the company has confirmed that Alchemist (the first generation arc code) SKU for mobile and desktop can only be found in some Asian markets, and only through OEMs and system integrators.
However, if you want to buy arc desktop GPU later this year, you can now plan which SKU to buy in advance. This is because the entire arc alchemist A-Series lineup has been leaked from the latest Intel beta driver.
As you can see in the picture below, there are several models that have not been released by Intel arc at the same time.
Like its core series CPUs, Intel arc will have three levels. Entry level components will be part of the arc 3 (A3) lineup. Similarly, higher SKUs will be classified under arc 5 (A5) and arc 7 (A7).
This is not the first time Intel's drivers have provided hints for future unannounced products. It is said that the information of Intel arc elasti architecture in the future is also leaked through the driver. Elasti may be Intel's fourth generation arc graphics card product, code named Druid.
