Intel is lowering the bar for its upcoming Arc A750 Limited Edition GPU. In a new video, the chipmaker provides just brief glances of the card’s fairly ordinary on-paper performance.
The “7” at the start of the A750’s name serves as a reminder that it is one of Intel’s top-tier GPUs, which is significant. The Arc 5 and Arc 3, which are designed to offer midrange and entry-level performance, respectively, are positioned below the Arc 7 according to Intel’s naming rules.
In the video, Ryan Shrout from Intel starts up Cyberpunk 2077 on a computer with the A750 chip installed, but instead of spending much time on gameplay, he jumps right to performance. Shrout claims that the card averages “just under” 60 frames per second (FPS) with the game set to the “high-quality” preset and 2560 x 1440 resolution. While this isn’t horrible, it’s not exactly what you’d expect from a firm like Intel’s entry into the discrete graphics card market.
Obviously, we can’t truly judge a card’s performance until we put it to the test, but this initial impression provided by Intel isn’t that impressive. The entry-level Arc A380 desktop GPU and the A370M and A350M mobile GPUs from Intel have already been made available in a number of different notebooks in China. The Arc A750 GPU is scheduled to debut later this summer.
