Now the most powerful and affordable video card from Intel is the Arc A770 16GB model. In terms of performance, it is approximately RTX 3060, as they say in reviews, only with a large amount of memory and a favorable price. But this video card has its own compatibility issues. So far it’s good, but after the release of the 5000 series from Nvidia it will already be a weak video card.

Intel unveils flurry of new Arc GPUs - however serious graphics users will have to wait for more powerful models, as these focus on a completely different and more lucrative market
Two years after the debut of its Arc Alchemist GPUs, Intel is launching six new Arc products, but these are designed for edge/embedded systems.

These edge systems, which process data near the source to reduce latency and bandwidth use, are becoming increasingly essential in areas such as IoT, autonomous vehicles, and AI applications.

As Intel says, “AI at the edge is exploding with new use cases and workloads being developed daily. These AI workloads often require a high degree of parallel processing and memory bandwidth for peak performance, dedicated hardware, optimized architecture for compute efficiency, and reduced latency with faster results for real-time processing. A discrete GPU may be the ideal solution for edge AI use cases requiring high performance and complex model support.”

The other issue is that there are not a lot of Arc cards out there at the moment.
Yes I'm sure developers can get their hands on them and write optimized miners for them, but the question becomes will it be worth it.
Time and effort for what would probably be very little use.

Just how I see it.

I was reading Intel's official plans for 2024, and I just saw that the company wants to release a more powerful series of Intel ARC “Battlemage” graphics cards with more cores. But Nvidia may also release a powerful 5090 video card with GDDR7 memory.

Intel has just shown off what is easily the best unboxing video ever, with ASML's new bleeding-edge Twinscan EXE:500 High-NA EUV lithography machine reaching its Oregon fab, a machine worth $380 million, and one of the most advanced machines on the planet. Check it out:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3PCtf1ONYMU&ab_channel=IntelNewsroom
ASML's new Twinscan EXE:500 High-NA EUV lithography machine was transported from The Netherlands to Portland, Oregon, USA in a cargo plane. A truck then picked it up and delivered the $380 million machine, which will require 250 ASML and Intel engineers -- and around 6 months -- to install the machine completely. The system required 250 crates to transport the machine, weighing around 330,000 pounds. It's huge, and it's heavy.

Once the Twinscan EXE:500 High-NA EUV lithography machine is fully assembled, the job isn't over for ASML and Intel engineers, as they'll need to calibrate the machine which could take a couple of months. Once this is done, Intel can achieve its "First Light" milestone, something ASML just reached with its High-NA EUV machine in Veldhofen, the Netherlands, just recently.

Now no one is talking about iGPU mining, but there is always the possibility of coming up with a mining algorithm for iGPU.

You are, and no there isn't, Any discussion about algorithms for iGPUs is as much of a scam as algos for mobile phones.

iGPUs are also becoming very powerful. The coolest one is now in the new AMD Ryzen 7 8700G processor.
Starting with the specifications, we are looking at the AMD Ryzen 7 8700G APU which features 8 cores, 16 threads, 16 MB of L3, and 8 MB of L2 cache. This chip has a base clock rated at 4.20 GHz and boosts up to 5.10 GHz. The iGPU includes the RDNA 3-based Radeon 780M with 12 Compute Units clocked around 3.0 GHz.

Test Intel Meteor Lake Arc iGPU
In 1080p High tests, we see the Arc iGPU on the Core Ultra 7 155H leading in 7 out of the 8 games tested. Even the Core Ultra 5 125H retains a lead over the RDNA 3 graphics solution. The outlet is also sharing a graphics ladder which shows that the Meteor Lake CPUs are now much faster than NVIDIA's MX solutions and end up close to the GTX 1650 Max-Q discrete GPUs.

That's gaming performance, not mining. It's also a mobile so isn't relevant to mining.
I'm not sure what the point is, no gamer (nor miner) buys a CPU for its iGPU. Battlemage was the more interesting part of Intel's announcement.
Yes, sure.
And PlayStation consoles were also for games, but if the profit in mining becomes very, very large, then any equipment that has a good video card can be adapted for mining.

Now, Intel has introduced the same Arc Xe "Alchemist" architecture on its Core Ultra "Meteor Lake" CPUs as an iGPU. This solution offers very competitive performance against AMD's RDNA 3 iGPUs & we can expect further improvements as the driver improves down the line. But in 2024, Intel aims to release a brand new GPU architecture known as Xe2 "Battlemage" This new architecture will be used by the next iteration of Intel's Arc Gaming & Pro discrete GPUs for desktop and mobility PCs.

Sparkle has reduced the price of the branded ARC A750 to $189, and in two stores at once: Amazon and Newegg. Other models are sold a little more expensive. For example, the Intel ARC A750 Limited Edition and Acer Predator BiFrost ARC A750 OC cost $199.
It would be strange if the less productive Intel ARC A580 was released at the same or higher price. If the price is below $189, then Intel will offer the most budget graphics card with 8 GB of memory on the market, and this may be of interest to many gamers.

Intel optimizing Starfield Arc gaming experience, Bethesda claims Arc A770 is no match for the game
Despite the Arc A770 GPU’s better performance compared to the aforementioned cards, Bethesda’s generic response suggests a lack of comprehensive guidance on how to address or optimize the game for their hardware. Consequently, Arc gamers may have to rely on Intel to resolve issues that Bethesda appears unwilling to tackle independently. One can only hope that Intel and Bethesda are working on Starfield optimizations together and Intel will have its “Game On” fully optimized driver for Starfield soon.

I sympathize with gamers with Intel graphics cards. I was waiting for the release of this game, but after watching several reviews that showed a huge number of bugs, and a lot of similar quests on different planets, I did not download this game.

Intel Arc A580 GPU is a no-show at Innovation 2023
On September 9th, 2022, Intel unveiled the specifications of four Arc Alchemist GPUs slated for future release. Following this initial specification reveal, Intel formally announced its Innovation 2022 Arc A7 series, which eventually hit the market in October. Notably, while GPUs like the A770/A750 and A380 made their debut, the A580 SKU, originally listed alongside these cards, remained conspicuously absent.

The A580 GPU was actually one of the earliest leaks from the Arc Alchemist GPU series, boasting an official specification of 24 Xe-Cores. This exceeded the specifications of the ACM-G11 (8 Xe-Cores) and the subsequently released ACM-G12 (16 Xe-Cores). It logically follows that the A580 may have been based on the ACM-G10 GPU, which offers up to 32 Xe-Cores.

Judging by the comments on Chinese retail site, this graphics card has become available since last month. Intel had released two Arc A770 models, either with 8GB or 16GB VRAM. The latter was seemingly exclusively used by reference “Limited Edition” or by Acer BiFrost model. GUNNIR’s new Photon card will join this small group.

The A770 Photon looks identical to the A770 that was announced a few months ago. It is equipped with dual 8-pin power connectors, three fans, and it is slightly thicker than 2 slots (300 x 118.5 x 50 mm).

Intel Arc graphics cards may not be the best choice for gaming for the money, but in some ways, as it turns out, they are superior not only to direct competitors, but in general to all 3D cards on the market.

Decoding tests in AV1 format using video cards have appeared on the Web. And the results of the Arc A770 were very impressive.

At 4K resolution, the new Intel performs at the level of the GeForce RTX 3090 and RTX 4090, although the latter is actually slightly worse in terms of 0.2 minimum fps.

AMD got is right with zen4 iGPU "designed to light up the display only". Building a better iGPU just doesn't make any sense
for desktops. Maybe Intel caught on.

Edit: A truly hybrid CPU/GPU would be a different story where the GPU cores could run parallel compute applications.
Much better than Intel's current hybrid CPU architecture which requires dumming down the P-cores by disabling AVX512.

Go intel goo.im so happy to see new gpu on market.
And the situation on the market has not changed due to the addition of a new manufacturer. When video cards were needed in the market, Intel released very few desktop versions. Intel needs to design their miners so that they give the best performance and at the same time video cards do not consume a lot of electricity.

I think Intel has changed view on this and will keep flooding in the market their dedicated graphic cards and will focus less on their integrated GPU which we have in their CPU-s which are worthless for everything except bringing us a good screen resolution.

They have the know how to bring us good dedicated graphic cards which they will improve during time and will also improve much more the electricity consumption than Nvidia or AMD,they sure have the know how for this.

According to European price comparison website, the cheapest Arc A770 Limited Edition costs 430 EUR.
Although Intel discrete desktop Arc A7 GPUs were already tested by international media, Intel has not provided an official price for the European market. The A770 Limited Edition, which is Intel’s own design with 16GB of VRAM, will officially cost $349 and should be available through major retailers in the US.
https://videocardz.com/newz/intel-arc-a770-limited-edition-is-now-listed-in-germany-for-431-eur

That is not a bad price for a 16 GB card in VRAM,I am not that impressed by the cores of this card but that price is much better than other cards who do not offer such performance as the ones mentioned in the article ranging from 8 GB to 12 GB,this card should be able to beat them in an instant in many things but I am curious how will do in mining.

We have a few hash rate leaks that show it 32 Mhsh in Eth/Etchash without optimization,and with some kernel optimization to be at 40 Mhsh,not impressive considering the 2060 Super does 44 Mhsh.
And the first tests in mining will not give good results. The current mining tests of the RTX 4090 video card indicate a payback of more than 10 years, which indicates the complete uselessness of the new product from Nvidia in mining. I think that other new products will have a similar result.

The release of desktop solutions was delayed due to the decision to launch mobile versions of the product first. Now mining is unprofitable and the main thing for a video card is to show good performance in games and have a cheap cost. Nvidia will lag behind competitors because competitors have released new efficient GPUs, but the main thing is that now there are at least 3 large manufacturers on the market.

I love that Intel has started trying to take a bite out of Nvidia’s GPU dominance. I prefer both AMD and Intel over Nvidia as companies and would much rather be giving them my money. It seems like Intel is just dipping their toe in the water with this offering, but I expect them to undercut on price and outperform in the future. They have a long established business with endless resources. This is a positive for the GPU industry.

I have to agree. Their AV encoder is supposed to be the better the the rest. They're starting small which seems a fortunate decision considering
the current market for GPUs. They have a plan it's just a matter or execution, unfortunately execution has been a problem on the CPU side for
a few years. I hope ARC works out.

Intel, finally. The company fully presented its flagship graphics card Arc A770 and named its price
The Arc A770 is the flagship of the line, but it only costs $330. This is because, according to the available tests, it will compete with the GeForce RTX 3060 and sometimes with the RTX 3060 Ti.
https://digitnews.in/intel-finally-the-company-fully-presented-its-flagship-graphics-card-arc-a770-and-named-its-price/

Still good to have a third alternative in a market where we have always been guided by Nvidia and Ati/AMD card manufacturers.While it doesn't look impressive in performance at least the price is relatively good and I am sure Intel will only keep improving their product line.This in overall long term future should make sure the prices of GPU-s to stay at a reasonable level even when we will be in the next bull run.I would not directly buy this card as I need to see how it behaves from other people but if the first couple of months are good without problems then I will definitely go for it.

It's too soon to talk about mining on DG2 imo. Even their gaming performance is not yet tested, plus their drivers might be terrible at launch. Better wait until Intel get better at making GPUs before starting to consider their cards to mine.

It's kinda ironic to see Intel use TSMC to launch their products after claiming years of fab leadership.

Prices are  in the same range like AMD and Nvidia. And you are wrong, Intel CPU are not always expensive. The Intel GPU will be manufactured by TSMC also. So no internal fabrication. And yes Intel will have much GPU´s at release.
