In an interview, Intel said that the Arc Alchemist graphics cards should be available "very soon."

According to PC Games Hardware, Tom Petersen, marketing specialist at Intel, said that the Arc A770 will have 16 gigabytes of GDDR6 memory. There will also be a version with 8 gigabytes of GDDR6 VRAM, as well as the A750, which should also be released soon.
The A770 should be able to keep up with the RTX 3060 Ti, the A750 on the same level as the RTX 3060, but the A770 should be able to ray trace better than the RTX 3060, which reflects the optimal performance ratio that Intel tries to achieve with these graphics cards.
Intel's new graphics cards will not support 8K resolution because the GPU does not have an HDMI 2.1 output. Therefore, you would have to buy a DisplayPort 2.0 to HDMI 2.1 adapter.
The graphics unit also supports Microsoft's DirectStorage technology, so that video games run smoother. However, this only works with a "resizable base address register", which is found in newer systems. Otherwise, the performance could be affected by 40%.
