Intel said at its 2022 investor conference on Thursday that it expects laptop makers to start selling laptops equipped with Intel Arc GPUs in the first quarter of this year. Intel also said that the cards for desktops will ship in the second quarter, while the cards for workstations will ship in the third quarter.
Now some media have discovered new data: a flagship Intel Arc Alchemist independent display has appeared in Geekbench OpenCL, and it has a terrifying 2400 MHz speed.
Foreign media believe that this graphics card running on the “Coffee Lake Client Platform” is likely to be tested in Intel or a partner’s laboratory. According to the data collected by the Geekbench platform, the system is equipped with a Core i9-9600K processor with 6 cores and 6 threads.
Intel Xe Graphics (512CU) refers to the Arc Alchemist graphics card with DG2-512 GPU. This is the flagship model in Intel’s upcoming Alchemist series, most likely a desktop GPU, which is expected to be officially launched in the second quarter of this year.
This Arc Alchemist card achieved a good score of 85448 in the OpenCL overall test. This ES (engineering sample) card reached the performance level of NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 20 Turing series GPU with a score of 85,448, which is almost equivalent to the RTX 2070/2060, although it is far from the rumored RTX 3070Ti/3070 level. But after all, this is only an OpenCL benchmark and not a game frame rate test.
