Intel has long-teased its Arc graphics card collection, and we got our first taste with the reveal of the Intel Arc mobile graphics cards for laptops in March. The big question for most gamers is, when will we see the desktop equivalent?
Intel’s Arc desktop collection, codenamed Alchemist internally by Intel, is set for release sometime this summer – but that’s about all we know officially. As with most things, leaks and rumours provide much more detail, giving us a good idea about what to expect from Intel’s Arc desktop graphics cards.
Here, we explain all there is to know about the Intel Arc desktop GPU range, from release date and pricing rumours to the latest design and spec leaks.
When will the Intel Arc desktop GPU be released?
Intel has confirmed that the desktop versions of its Arc graphics card collection will be released “this summer” but it’s keeping quiet on specifics. Considering the last-minute delays of its Arc mobile range, it’s easy to see why Intel is keeping its cards closer to its chest this time around.
With that all said, a report from Igor’s Lab paints an interesting picture of the behind-the-scenes chaos, suggesting that delays have forced a release sometime between the beginning of July and end of August 2022.
Igor speculates that software could be a culprit, but it might not be the only issue, suggesting that it’s also possible Intel is running into issues with aftermarket support, partner card development, game development and integration or commercial considerations, but this is unconfirmed right now.
