However, in summary, Intel’s Arc A370M offers competent 1080p gaming performance at Medium to High image quality settings. The graph images here speak a thousand words, so I won’t dive into the weeds too much.

With that covered, let’s have a look at some Intel Arc A Series frame rates.į1 2021 Game Benchmark - 1080p With Ray Tracing - Intel Arc A370M Dave Altavilla In addition, I should reiterate that again, the Intel Arc A370M is an entry-level GPU, targeted at offering a base level of gaming horsepower, rather than mid-range or high-end desktop replacement laptop performance. However, there’s nuance here for a couple of reasons - first, with respect to both newer and legacy game engine performance, and secondly with respect to ray tracing. Gaming performance is a straightforward metric that some enthusiasts and gamers are keyed on exclusively, as Intel’s Arc Graphics offerings finally become viable new options in the market versus NVIDIA and AMD.

I’d expect software adoption for Intel Hyper Encode and Hyper Compute to continue to expand as well, as Intel’s Arc rollout continues.

Regardless, in terms of media and content creation, Intel’s Arc Graphics platform has a few tricks up its sleeve that can enable it to punch a notch above its weight class in certain apps for very respectable results. That said, as you’ll see in my gaming benchmarks next, Intel’s Arc A370M isn’t targeting GeForce RTX 3050-class performance.

In this test, though the Arc A370M-powered Intel reference laptop is significantly faster than the MacBook Pro 13, it trails the RTX 3050 by a significant margin as well. Conversely, this is a strong suit app for the GeForce RTX 3050-powered Dell XPS 15 laptop, as NVIDIA has worked with Adobe on GPU acceleration for Premiere. Here, only the Arc A370M is in the action for the Intel reference laptop as this app is not currently able to take advantage of Intel Hyper Encode. Here again, both the Arc GPU and its companion Iris Xe Graphics are at play for the Intel reference laptop, and the Dell XPS machine, with just its RTX 3050 GPU, trails by about 8 percent.įinally, a custom render out test with Adobe Premier Pro applies effects to a video clip and then renders it for final production. Shifting gears to the cross-platform Blackmagic RAW Speed Test that measures encoding performance with the Blackmagic RAW lossless video codec, we see a virtual dead-heat between the Arc A370M reference laptop and an Apple M1-powered MacBook Pro 13. Here, Intel’s Arc A370M, in conjunction with the CPU’s iGPU, is able to best a GeForce RTX 3050 (on board Dell’s XPS 15) by about 30 seconds or so, and far outpace the fastest integrated graphics GPU on the market currently with the Radeon 680M on-board AMD’s Ryzen 7 6800U CPU in the ASUS Zenbook laptop. In the case of Topaz, this tool is able to harness Intel XMX (matrix extensions) on board the Arc GPU, and also other GPU processing resources on board the CPU’s Iris Xe integrated graphics engine, to accelerate an AI denoise and upscaling algorithm with a short, low quality video clip I captured on my phone. Let’s look at a couple examples of Hyper Encode and Hyper Compute in action, as well as just standard media encoding acceleration on the Arc GPU alone.Ībobe Premiere Pro Video Rendering On Intel Arc A370M GPU Alone Dave AltavillaĪll of the above benchmarks represent some form of video encoding, image quality enhancement, or post-production and special effects processing.

Deep Link consists of three primary features: Dynamic Power Share, which dynamically balances power delivery between the CPU and GPU, depending on workload requirements in real-time, Hyper Compute, which utilizes both discrete Arc GPU resources as well as the integrated Iris Xe Graphics engine on board Intel 12th Gen CPUs, for accelerating compute workloads like AI-driven algorithms in various applications, and Hyper Encode, which also leverages the CPU and GPUs for multimedia transcoding.

Intel calls its conjoining and balancing of CPU and GPU resources Deep Link technology. In terms of performance, a unique feature that’s interesting to look at with Intel’s new Arc mobile graphics offering, takes advantage of the tight coupling between CPU and GPU resources that Intel can bring to bear, since it now engineers the majority of the laptop platform (versus historically having to rely on a 3rd party discrete GPU).
