Intel has officially shown off their new Arc A-Series Mobile GPUs after years of anticipation. Formerly known as Intel Arc Alchemist, the new Intel Arc A-Series GPUs are currently exclusive to mobile devices with discreet desktop GPUs to come at a later date.
A total of five mobile GPUs will be introduced by Intel: the A350M, A370M, A550M, A730M, and A770M. Notebooks powered by the A350M and A370M will arrive in markets this April while the latter three will arrive on devices early summer according to Intel.

Intel Arc A-Series GPUs will come with the Xe-HPG architecture with AI capabilities, 3D acceleration hardware, and ray tracing support. They will also support Xe Super Sampling (XeSS), which is an upscaling algorithm somewhat similar to NVIDIA’s DLSS or AMD’s FidelityFX.
Intel has also teased the arrival of their Arc-branded desktop GPUs. It seems that the GPUs will come with a default dual-fan configuration, four DisplayPorts and one HDMI port according to their video teaser.
It is expected that Intel’s desktop GPUs will make their global debut this coming summer.
