This week Intel has been revealing information to silence the large number of rumors and nuance the existing leaks, and perhaps the most important news of all is that Ryan Shroutthe head of marketing at Intel’s graphics division, revealed via his Twitter account that the Intel Arc A780 does not existand that it was never planned to launch this model that rumors indicated would arrive to compete with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070.
“Despite some rumors to the contrary, there is no Intel Arc A780 and there was never an A780 planned. Let’s put that debate to rest. ????,” he said. in your official account the Twitter.
According to existing reports, it was indicated that the GPU Intel Arc A780 was going to make use of the graphics chip ACM-G1manufactured by TSMC through a manufacturing process of 6nm with a total of 4096 Execution Units along with 16 GB of GDDR6 @ 17.5 Gbps memory and a 256-bit memory interface.
All of this as a whole would give us a graphics card that was intended to compete with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 and the AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT, but in the end we will have to be content with the Intel Arc A770.
This morning’s Intel Arc A-Series leak did not mention the Intel Arc A780
Just this morning we saw the filtering of a slide that indicated the family of graphs Intel Arc A-Seriesthe performance we can expect from them, and the price range to which it will move, so we can deduce that the Intel Arc A770 it will be the company’s top-of-the-range GPU, top of the range that will compete with the mid-range of its rivalie the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti by NVIDIA and Radeon RX 6650 XT by AMD.
Now yes, it is unknown if Intel really planned to launch an Arc A780 or not, and that is that the Intel Arc A770 will have a TDP of 225Wwhich is already higher than that of its direct rivals (200W NVIDIA; 180W AMD), and even exceeds by 5W to GeForce TDP RTX 3070so it’s possible that with Alchemist they couldn’t aim higher and we’ll have to wait for Battlemage to see graphics that compete with the next generation of GPUs from both companies.
