Bring it on to everyone in a few weeks, revealed more details about what to expect from the graphics cards in terms of specs and performance. The A770, he will be 32 Car cores, 32 ray tracing units and a graphics clock of 2,100 MHz. As for RAM, it comes in 8GB and 16GB configurations, with memory bandwidths up to 512Gb/s and 560Gb/s, respectively.
As for the A750, which Intel just announced will start at $289, it features 28 Xe cores, 28 ray tracing units, a 2,050 MHz graphics clock, 8 GB of memory, and up to 512 Gb/s of memory bandwidth. All three cards, which will be available on October 12, have a total power of 225W.
Intel claims that, based on benchmark tests, you’ll get more bang for your buck with these cards than NVIDIA’s mid-range . It says the A770 offers 42 percent more performance per dollar over the RTX 3060, while the A750 is apparently 53 percent better on a per dollar basis.
It claims that, in most of the games it tested, the A770’s 16GB configuration delivered better ray-tracing performance than the similarly priced RTX 3060 (which, to be fair, ). When he came to Intel says the A770 had 1.56 times higher ray tracing performance than the RTX 3060.
Of course, Intel will advertise its GPUs as better than the competition. We’ll have to wait for the results of our own Intel Arc benchmark tests to get a real sense of performance.
Either way, it looks like NVIDIA is going to have more competition on the GPU front. Only this time, it’s from an established brand that happens to be back powering computers that might well have used NVIDIA cards otherwise.
