Intel Corporation has announced a surprise for fans of video games on desktop computers, the launch of the new generation of competitive graphics processors, which bears the name ARC A700, a family that includes several models between the flagship and the medium, and the most evident is the prices they come with, especially when compared to other cards from the company. Nvidia is the leader in the number of sales in this market.
Intel has been battling stiff competition for PC graphics processors in recent years, and the company that largely dominates CPU data processors has failed to compete in the GPU graphics market in recent years.
Intel has decided to put more emphasis on the graphics processor industry and return to compete with the leading companies in this market, led by Nvidia and decided to launch the updated ARC series and this year came the announcement of the 700a generation of processors.
Intel has revealed enthusiastic specifications for the new generation of graphics processors, which is a family of 3 processors, the first being the affordable A750 and two models of the flagship A770, the first with 8 GB of RAM and the second with 16 GB.
Intel confirmed this generation falls under the name of best value for money, and the company offered insights into the performance the new processors can deliver compared to competing processors for the penultimate generation of NVIDIA RTX 3000.
The company pointed out that the A750 processor is the lowest model in the Arc 7 series, has slightly lower performance than the flagship A770 model, and interestingly, it will start at $ 289.
The A750 processor is compared in terms of performance with the Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060, and Intel says the A750 is on average 6% faster than the 3060 when running 1440p images.
And Intel certainly highlighted the price difference in the comparison, given the current price of the 3060 board, which is estimated at around $ 418, and gives a 53% advantage in favor of the Intel processor in the value (performance) versus price metric. .
The company is currently optimistic about its performance metrics and the industry technology it uses in its ARC graphics processors, but what will be key will be the reviews that will begin shortly after the A750 officially launches.
The company said the new processors are already on the market, and as for the pricing of the flagship options, it said the A770 model will be priced at $ 329, while the limited-edition version of the specially designed A770 with 16 GB memory is available at a price of $ 349.
