Intel Arc A370M Alchemist GPU shows strong gaming and content creation performance versus the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 in latest benchmarks.
Two months after its launch, the first Intel Arc Alchemist A370M GPU benchmarks have been published by PCWorld. The A370M is an entry-level GPU within the Arc A-series lineup and is designed for budget laptops to compete against NVIDIA’s and AMD’s entry-level GPU offerings. The Intel Arc A370M is positioned within the entry-level discrete GPU segment and based on the ACM-G11 SKU, the smallest of the two Arc Alchemist SKUs. It utilizes the full ACM-G11 GPU config with 8 Xe Cores (1024 ALUs),8 ray tracing units,1550 MHz graphics clock,4 GB of 64-bit GDDR6 memory, and a TDP range of 35-50W. This chip would be tackling the GeForce RTX 3050 series & Radeon RX 6500 series. Intel Visual Compute Accelerator 2 dissected by Der8auer, features trio of Xeon CPUs PCWorld’s Matt Smith managed to get hold of a reference laptop that was based on MSI’s Summit E16 Flip Evo design and managed to run some benchmarks. The laptop was only available for test at Intel’s Jones Farm campus-based in Portland, Oregon. This once again confirms the limited Arc availability within the regions aside from Asia. Intel’s Arc A350M laptops are shipping to customers but only in select Korean and Asian markets and only in Samsung / Lenovo designs. The rest of the laptop makers are yet to introduce their Arc-powered portfolio. Some have cited drivers to be the main cause of delay while others have cited low GPU quantities.
