This summer, the duel between AMD and Nvidia in the area of desktop graphics cards will become a three-way battle. Because Intel will also be launching its own Arc line-up GPUs, which could happen as early as the end of May if the sources available to Wccftech are to be trusted. Their information comes from Taiwan and says that Intel has revealed final details about the first desktop graphics cards that will be released soon.
The first Intel Arc cards: A750, A380 and A580
according to the Information available to Wccftech Intel will release its desktop line-up in stages. The first load is said to include the three GPUs A750, A380 and A580, which will not all appear together, however. While the release of the A750 and A380 is scheduled for late May/early June, the A580 is expected to be released to consumers a few weeks later, around July. Intel’s flagship GPU, the A780, will not be included in the first release wave.
The embargo, which Intel did not specify in the form of a specific date, but as a period of time, is interesting. This extends from May 15th to June 30th. According to Wccftech, an exact date for the embargoes should be communicated separately for each graphics card after the start.
How are the desktop cards classified in terms of performance?
In terms of performance, the A750 is Intel’s mid-range, which will operate on a similar level to Nvidia’s Geforce RTX 3060. Intel is said to have mentioned that the drivers will improve quickly and that a steady increase in performance can be expected after the release. The A750 is slated to release at an MSRP of $399, which would be higher than the Geforce RTX 3060’s MSRP of $330. Nvidia’s mid-range is currently sold loudly PCGH price comparison from 420 euros.
The A580 and A380 are Intel’s entry-level cards. The former is said to be comparable in performance to the Geforce RTX 3050 and will be released with an RRP of $280. For comparison: The MSRP of the Geforce RTX 3050 is 250 US dollars, it is sold currently for at least 340 euros. Finally, there is the A380, which is said to be able to do something similar to the Geforce GTX 1650 with the same RRP of 150 US dollars. You can buy Nvidia’s Turing card currently for at least 200 euros.

If Intel’s new desktop cards actually go over the counter for MSRP with the help of rebates and marketing support, coupled with the XeSS implementation, the company could have a positive start to the market. However, if the RRPs cannot be met, Intel may have problems establishing initial market shares. However, all of this is speculation.
