For decades, Intel has been a champion for PC platform
innovation. We have delivered generations of CPUs that provide the
computing horsepower for billions of people. We advanced
connectivity through features like USB, Thunderbolt™ and Wi-Fi. And
in partnership with the PC ecosystem, we developed the
ground-breaking PCI architecture and the Intel® Evo™ platform,
pushing the boundary for what mobile products can do.
Intel is uniquely positioned to deliver PC platform innovations
that meet the ever-increasing computing demands of professionals,
consumers, gamers and creators around the world. Now, we take the
next big step.

Today, we are officially launching our Intel® Arc™ graphics
family for laptops, completing the Intel platform. These are the
first discrete GPUs from our Intel Arc A-Series graphics portfolio
for laptops, with our desktop and workstation products coming later
this year. You can visit our Newsroom for our launch video, product
details and technical demos, but I will summarize the highlights of
how our Intel Arc platform and A-Series mobile GPU family will
deliver hardware, software, services and – ultimately –
high-performance graphics experiences.
- New Laptops with Intel Arc Graphics: We’ve partnered
with top OEMs to co-engineer an amazing lineup of laptops that
feature new and improved gaming and content creation capabilities
with Intel Arc graphics and 12th Gen Intel® Core™ processors. Many
new systems with Intel Arc 3 graphics will feature the Intel Evo
platform’s trademark responsiveness, battery life and Wi-Fi 6
connectivity in thin-and-light form factors. Laptops with Intel Arc
3 graphics offer enhanced 1080p gaming and advanced content
creation, and those with Intel Arc 5 and Intel Arc 7 graphics will
offer the same cutting-edge, content-creation capabilities coupled
with increased graphics and computing performance. The first
laptops with Intel Arc 3 GPUs are available to preorder now and
will be followed by the more powerful designs with Intel Arc 5 and
Intel Arc 7 graphics in early summer.
- Unleashing the Laptop Platform: The foundation of
products with Intel Arc A-Series GPUs and our platform-level
approach to graphics innovation starts with our new Xe High
Performance Graphics microarchitecture (Xe HPG), which is
engineered for gamers and creators. We have packed a ton of great
technology into Xe HPG, including powerful Xe-cores with Intel XMX
AI engines, a graphics pipeline optimized for DirectX 12 Ultimate
with hardware acceleration for ray tracing, the Xe Media Engine
tuned to accelerate existing and future creator workloads and the
Xe Display Engine ready for DisplayPort 2.0 UHBR10.
- Intel Xe Matrix Extensions (XMX) AI engines
provide more compute capability for accelerating AI workloads.
These AI engines have 16 times the compute to complete AI
inferencing operations when compared to traditional GPU vector
units, which can increase performance in productivity, gaming and
creator applications.
- Xe Super Sampling (XeSS) is our solution that
leverages the power of Intel Arc graphics’ XMX AI-engines to
deliver high-performance, AI-accelerated upscaling. XeSS is a novel
upscaling technology that uses deep learning to synthesize images
that are very close to the quality of native high-res rendering.
XeSS is coming in the summer and will be supported on all products
with Arc A-Series graphics.
- Intel Arc A-Series GPUs are the first in the industry to offer
full AV1 hardware acceleration, including both encode and
decode, delivering faster video encode and higher quality streaming
while consuming the same internet bandwidth. We’ve worked with
industry partners to ensure that AV1 support is available today in
many of the most popular media applications, with broader adoption
expected this year. The AV1 codec will be a game changer for the
future of video encoding and streaming.
- We’ve integrated Intel® Deep Link technologies to enable
Intel Arc GPUs to work seamlessly with Intel CPUs and integrated
graphics for a performance improvement across gaming, creating and
streaming workloads. Intel Deep Link enables dynamic power sharing,
intelligently distributing power across the platform to increase
application performance up to 30% in creation and compute-intensive
applications.1 With Hyper Encode and Hyper Compute, Deep Link
allows multi-engine acceleration in transcoding and AI tasks. More
details are available in our product fact sheet.
- Community Experiences: Our Intel Arc graphics are more
than another piece of hardware in your PC. They are your portal to
play and create. We have a dedicated team focused on delivering Day
0 game-ready drivers, which you’ll be able to track in our new
Intel® Arc Control interface, an all-in-one hub that puts you in
full control of the gaming experience. Intel Arc Control includes
custom performance profiles, built-in streaming, a virtual camera,
integrated Game ON driver downloading, automatic game capture, and
more. The app supports Intel® Iris Xe graphics and Intel Arc GPUs
for a unified software experience. By working with our developer
partners, we are making a growing portfolio of Intel-optimized
games and multimedia applications available to discrete graphics
customers through special launch bundles. Bundles will vary based
on the system and the region, but the first of these gamer and
creator bundles is rolling out in April with the launch of our
A-Series mobile products. Our goal is to deliver something new and
fun to the community every day of the year. We invite you to
connect with us and join the conversation on our Intel Insiders
discord.
Looking Ahead
Today marks the first step in our journey. You’ll see Intel Arc
graphics continue to improve and evolve, with new features and an
ever-expanding ecosystem coming throughout the year. And for
desktop enthusiasts, our Intel Arc graphics add-in-cards will be
coming this summer. 2
We are excited, and we hope you are too. It’s going to be a big
year for Intel Arc graphics.

and Gaming Team at Intel Corporation.
