As we covered back in March, Intel’s first Arc-based graphics cards have arrived – but only in mobile form, so far. From the get-go, we knew that it’d take a bit of time for the first notebooks equipped with Arc to actually hit the market, and around mid-April, we began to see them pop up in some parts of Asia. We’d love to say that availability is improving on these shores, but that doesn’t seem to be the case quite yet. That said, PCWorld managed to give a reference notebook a test, and all the folks there had to do was travel to Intel’s Jones Farm campus in Portland, Oregon. That reference notebook is based off of MSI’s Summit E16 Flip Evo: The GPU found in this reference notebook is Intel’s current top-end of its bottom-end – the Arc A370M. This chip sports 8 Xe-cores, representing a total of 128 execution units. Despite being a lower-end SKU, it still sports some ray tracing cores.
