Intel Arc A770 Makes a Bold Entrance in the Mainstream GPU Space
Intel unveiled the Arc A770 as its leading consumer graphics card, aiming to compete with the GeForce RTX 3060 and RTX 3060 Ti. The card is powered by the AKM G10 GPU and ships with 32 Xe cores, equating to 4096 FP32 units, operating at a clock speed around 2100 MHz. The architecture and core count are positioned to deliver solid performance in modern gaming titles and creative workloads, especially at mainstream resolutions.
Memory configuration includes options of 8 GB and 16 GB of GDDR6 memory with a memory frequency near 17.5 GHz and a 256-bit memory bus. The card’s typical power consumption sits around 225 watts, aligning with the energy needs of its class. In terms of current pricing, the model with 16 GB is listed at about 330 USD, while the 8 GB variant is around 300 USD in many markets. These figures place the Arc A770 as an attractive option for builders who want a balance of cost and capability.
The company did not publish independent performance benchmarks at launch, but it stated that the Arc A770 can reach up to 65 percent higher performance in ray tracing scenarios compared with selected direct competitors. Prospective buyers will be waiting for third party testing to verify these claims and to understand real world performance across games and settings.
Sales were scheduled to begin on October 12. While the Arc A750 was not shown during the presentation, executives indicated that information on that model would be released before the end of the week. In other tech news, Logitech also introduced its own G Cloud handheld, signaling a broader push into portable gaming devices.
