The launch of the first dedicated graphics cards by Intel will begin in laptops, specifically in several models that we will see presented in a few days and that seek to occupy a space currently dominated by NVIDIA. As much for its almost disappeared GTX as with the MX 550. The Samsung Galaxy Book2 Pro is the first laptop with an ARC Alchemist as a dedicated GPU. How is?
From Intel they know very well about the growing popularity of the so-called ultra-thin gaming laptops, which combine a lightweight industrial design with a performance well above the average expected of these computers. This has allowed them to create a very light laptop concept, but at the same time it doesn’t come at a sacrifice in performance compared to similar concepts from the past. Low-end ARC Alchemist graphics cards for laptops may not be a panacea when it comes to gaming, but they are a step up for those who want a laptop to carry around and use applications that benefit greatly from having a graphics card. inside.
So we are not dealing with equipment that is good enough for next-generation games, but it is good enough for professional use in terms of content creation. Which makes them extremely portable workstations.
The Samsung Galaxy Book2 Pro is the first laptop with ARC Alchemist
It is not long before Intel makes its launch presentation of the ARC Alchemist architecture, however, before the expected March 30 arrives, the first laptop has already been leaked, which is specifically the Samsung Galaxy Book2 Pro, an ultra-thin laptop Also equipped with an Intel Core 12 CPU inside. Which can already be purchased, which indicates that, as we suspected, the laptop models with the new dedicated Intel graphics are already in their pre-launch phase.
As you can see, it is not a high caliber laptop in terms of performance, its 16GB of LPDDR5 memory He reveals it to us along with his 2.1GHz CPU. Moreover, everything indicates that it could be a model with a TDP of 15 W. Especially due to the fact that its weight is only 1.13 Kg and as can be seen in the images, it is a very fine computer.
It is also not known what the specific graphics card model will be, since it can be an A350M or an A370; We can only say that it will surely be based on the chip DG2-128 and, therefore, the simplest of the ARC Alchemist, confirming once again that it is not a team for gaming. What is certain is that the tandem between Intel’s CPU and GPU will allow the use of Intel’s Deep Link technologies. Let’s not forget that the ARC Alchemist architecture brings full support for DirectX 12 Ultimate, including Ray Tracing and support for real-time resolution scaling with Intel XeSS, its equivalent of DLSS and FSR.
