Latest Intel Arc GPU leaks: 3070 Ti-ish speeds, 5 different options for laptops - Ars Technica

The best of the GPUs includes 512 of Intel’s GPU execution units (EUs) attached to 16 GB of 16 Gbps video memory using a 256-bit interface; that wide a memory interface and that much memory suggests a high-end GPU that’s trying to compete with GeForce 3070- and 3080-series and Radeon 6800- and 6900-series products.

The middle two GPU options—one 384 EU model with 12 GB of RAM connected to a 192-bit interface and one 256 EU model with 8 GB of RAM and a 128-bit interface—are reminiscent of the specs for Nvidia's mainstream RTX 3060 and 3050 laptop GPUs.

The two low-end models, which connect to 4 GB of RAM with a 64-bit memory interface, seem poised to compete with GPUs like Nvidia's GeForce MX series or the beefed-up RDNA2 integrated GPUs in AMD's upcoming Ryzen 6000 laptop processors.

This would be par for the course for the sometimes-confusing mobile GPU market, where the “same” model GPU can perform differently in different laptops depending on the specific hardware configurations, cooling systems, and power consumption settings that laptop makers choose. It's also difficult to draw conclusions on these GPUs' performance using just these on-paper numbers.

That said, these numbers are (at best) an unverified performance preview using non-final hardware and drivers in a single benchmark, so we shouldn't draw too many conclusions from those numbers in isolation.

Some laptop announcements from CES earlier in January mentioned Arc GPUs, but with no specs or performance numbers included, and Intel hasn't been forthcoming with specifics.
