Intel unveiled the newest and most powerful graphics processing unit (GPU) in its 'Alchemist' series of cards, the 'Arc A770.' This is the strongest card currently announced in the seven-series of Intel's Arc Alchemist product line, which includes a three-series, five-series, and seven-series of cards, similar to Intel Core central processing units (CPUs).
The Arc A770 is the flagship GPU from the company, boasting clock speeds of up to 2.5 GHz without manual overclocking and a targetted power draw of 190 watts. This places the Arc A770 in the mid-to-high range of GPUs, which is a part of the industry that is welcoming to new players due to low product availability.
What sets the Intel Arc series of GPUs apart from its NVIDIA and AMD competitors is pricing. Intel separates games into three tiers, which are essentially the "runs perfectly," "is optimized," and "isn't optimized" tiers. In terms of Intel's pricing, the tech giant will be pricing its Arc series of GPUs based on the cards' performance on unoptimized or tier-three games.
