Intel? Arc? A-Series Graphics Cards for Desktops

Intel has introduced its latest ARC-A series graphics cards for the gaming universe. Intel ARC-A series comprises built-in machine learning, graphics acceleration, and ray tracing hardware. These graphic cards feature advanced technologies that unite fluid gaming, rich content creation, latest visual technologies across desktop and mobile form factors. ARC-A Graphic Card series, with its cutting-edge technology, features three different variants, each with its unique usage. For instance, Intel ARC 7 Graphics are used where high-performance gaming is concerned, whereas Intel ARC 5 Graphics work well with Advanced Gaming, and Intel ARC3 Graphics facilitate an enhanced gaming experience.

The Launch Of Arc A310 Graphics Card

Intel has made several significant announcements regarding the launch of their hardware this month, which includes 13th Gen Raptor Lake CPUs and ARC A770 GPU along with the half-launch of ARC A380.

Intel has officially announced its entry-level graphics card ARC A310. The announcement of the Intel ARC A310 comes as a surprise for gamers. It might be either due to its modest nature or vague release, which can be debated. So far, Intel has released ARC A380 GPU which can be used as an alternative for AMD Navi 24 or NVIDIA low-end Turing GPUs. Yet, as per Intel, there is still space for another desktop GPU, ARC A310.

A new entry-level desktop GPU from Intel

Intel's ARC A310 is built on a 6nm process based on DG2-128 graphics processors in its ACM-G11 variant. This variant can support DirectX 12 Ultimate, which ensures that all the smooth games will run on ARC A310 and guarantees support for viable-rate shading, hardware-ray tracing, and more for high-end video games. ARC A310 comprises a DG2-128 graphics processor, an average-sized chip with a die area of 157 mm? and 7,200 million transistors. Unlike ARC A380, which is fully unlocked, ARC A310 has around 768 shading units, 32 texture mapping units, and 16 ROPs

ARC A310 is expected to be outmatched by AMD Ryzen's integrated RDNA 2 graphics. That is why if you're looking for a GPU to play Cyberpunk 2077 at 4K raytracing at 720p as minimum settings, then it is suggested to opt for A7 or any other high-end graphics card that can facilitate modern gaming without any fluctuations.

Pricing and Release Date

Intel has announced the launch of its Arc Alchemist Graphic cards in three variants to be released during Q3 2022. The ARC 5770 and ARC 580 will reportedly be released on October 12th and 13th, respectively. At the same time, ARC A380 has already launched in June 2022. However. as far as ARC A310 is concerned, Intel has not specified any date for its release yet; all we know is that it will be released sometime in Q3 2022, October.
