Recently, I was able to not only go under the hood of an Intel Arc Graphics reference platform laptop from one of its OEM partners, but I can also now share with you an extensive array of performance metrics as well.
Intel Evo And Arc Graphics Laptop Brand BadgesWeighing in at just a hair over 4.5 lbs, the Intel Arc reference design laptop is a relatively thin and light machine based on MSI’s Summit E16 Flip notebook, though again what I’ve tested here is not a retail product, but rather a prototype demo vehicle. The machine has a fast 165Hz, 16-inch QHD+ display, and was configured with 32GB of DDR5-4800 RAM, along with a 1TB Samsung NVMe Solid State Drive.
Shifting gears to the cross-platform Blackmagic RAW Speed Test that measures encoding performance with the Blackmagic RAW lossless video codec, we see a virtual dead-heat between the Arc A370M reference laptop and an Apple M1-powered MacBook Pro 13. Here again, both the Arc GPU and its companion Iris Xe Graphics are at play for the Intel reference laptop, and the Dell XPS machine, with just its RTX 3050 GPU, trails by about 8 percent.
Regardless, in terms of media and content creation, Intel’s Arc Graphics platform has a few tricks up its sleeve that can enable it to punch a notch above its weight class in certain apps for very respectable results. I’d expect software adoption for Intel Hyper Encode and Hyper Compute to continue to expand as well, as Intel’s Arc rollout continues.
Tempering expectations, I would be very surprised to see Intel catch NVIDIA’s or AMD’s top tier GeForce RTX 30 series or AMD’s Radeon RX 6000 series GPUs, but the rumor and leak millDave Altavilla / Intel
