While Nvidia already confirmed what was really coming on what’s left of 2022 about GPU offering for PC gamers and graphic artist enthusiasts, Intel has been preparing for their more serious dive in GPU in modern computing with its Arc brand.

Specifically the Intel Arc A770, which is being sold as a big alternative for the full HD 1080p realm or budget 1440p realm has finally a release date and most suggested retail price.

Intel will sell the Arc A770 at $329 beginning October 12th.

The maker of the Intel Core processor claims that the Intel Arc A770 can outperforming the Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 in several games running at 1080p with ray tracing enabled and while they showed some numbers, I would suggest you wait for reviews’s benchmark to see how this numbers go on par in more real-life environment.

Intel Arc A770 includes 16GB of GDDR6 memory, 32 Xe cores, a 21000MHz clock, and uses Intel's Xe graphical architecture and a AI entity that will take care of the ray tracing capacity by predicting next frame and scenes changes with XeSS, Intel’s equivalent to Nvidia’s DLSS and AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution.

Responsibly, Intel has never meant the Arc A770 to go on par with GeForce 3070 despite the GPU being capable of gaming in a 1440 screen but yes, the main target has been the GeForce 3060 and the Radeon 6600XT.
