Built with Xe-cores featuring 16 vector engines, and 16 matrix engines, with 2 bits respectively per engine. Based on the Xe-HPG (high-performance graphics) microarchitecture it promises breakthrough performance and capabilities. Intel ARC multi-year roadmap Intel ARC alchemist GPUs specificationsĪlchemist aims to provide the same features as what the market currently has to offer. Setting itself up to be a direct competitor to anything out there now. With Alchemist containing Xe Super Sampling, Deep Link, and Ray Tracing. They will feature plenty of the current features so that they don’t start at a disadvantage. The cards are not planning to hold back and aim to become a popular choice. However, it signifies its dedication to providing support and products for many years to come. A naming choice sounding like Intel is preparing a D&D party to fight the GPU market. With the likes of Battlemage, Celestial, and Druid planned for years to come. Intel ARC Alchemist GPUs are the first nicknamed graphics card selection to be released.

Potentially the sort of feature Nvidia has with Geforce Now with users not required to buy hardware to use. Suggesting it will not only be providing graphics cards but also another solution. Intel ARC is the company’s venture into ‘graphics solutions’ ranging from hardware, software, and services. With their already mobile knowledge, they shouldn’t be starting from scratch so should be able to get up there for the most part. The performance of the cards may not be directly related to the other options but it will be their first installment in a long line of architectures. But a third competitor would also provide another choice and something different, with its own stock injection and hopefully performance. Competition is tight so it’s great for consumers with the two pushing each other to give the best. The Nvidia AMD fight has been tougher than ever with the RTX 30 series trading blows with the RX 6000 series. Which, in the current market situation would be highly appreciated. An addition to the marketplace that can bring even more competitiveness and more stock to choose from.

That may change with the introduction of Intel ARC Alchemist GPUs. Looking for the best GPU you really only have two options to choose between, AMD or Nvidia.
