A new leak suggests the existence of Arc A580 just after Intel quietly launched two new mobile parts.
When Intel originally introduced the Arc graphics card family to us, it was described as including three tiers of cards, just like the company’s Core i- family of CPUs originally did. The Arc 3 were to be entry-level GPUs, the Arc 5 were to be mid-range gaming parts, and the Arc 7 were to be performance-class parts for gamers.Things didn’t really shake out that way; the Arc 3 parts serve fine as entry-level GPUs, but the top-end Arc A770 only ever struck into AMD and NVIDIA’s mid-range, leaving little room for an Arc 5 family in the product stack between the $150 Arc A370 and the $250 Arc A750.
As it turns out, we may see that Arc A580 after all. Exactly such a GPU has popped up in the Geekbench database, spotted by the tireless electric eye of the Benchleaks bot. Naturally, it appears in the Compute section of the database, with an OpenCL benchmark result of 82,992 points. That’s not far off from some scores for the Arc A750; it’s also about on par with the Radeon RX 7600 and within striking distance of the GeForce RTX 3060.
