Sometimes noticeable

Five weeks have passed since the conditional entry of the Intel ARC mobile video cards market. At the same time, Intel spoke only about two younger models, and only the youngest appeared in laptops, and even then only in one Samsung model and only in South Korea. But now we have testing results in games and models ARC A370M.

It is worth starting with the fact that the PC World editor had to personally visit the Intel headquarters in order to access the laptop with such a video card. This indicates the problems of the company with the release of 3D cards.

Recall that if the ARC A350M has 768 computing nuclei, then the A370M already has 1024. At the same time, both cards have a 64-bit tire and only 4 GB of memory. That is, these are primary class solutions. Tests show that the ARC A350M is confidently ahead of the GeForce MX450, but does not reach the Mobile GTX 1650. It would seem that the ARC A370M should not be much more. However, here it is worth recalling that it has a significantly higher power limit (up to 50 W), which is why the frequency is much higher.

As a result, in the games ARC A370M confidently competes with the GeForce RTX 3050! That is, it is already a modern initial level for a game laptop without any reservations. It is worth noting the result in Metro Exodus. This is the version of Enhanced Edition, which works only on systems with support for rays trace. And here we see that the ARC A370M is completely slightly lagging behind RTX 3050, we still know almost nothing about the implementation of rays tracing in the GPU Intel, but it seems that it is very good. Also, the novelty shows itself perfectly in the Topaz application on video processing using AI. In general, the ARC A370M looks much more interesting than the A350M. At the same time, it is unclear whether the Intel Dynamic Tuning Technology function was active, the shutdown of which, recall, leads to a phenomenal increase in Intel ARC video cards. At least it was with A350M.
