These cards were great value in the mid-range market, AMD had to lower some prices slightly to compete but ARC still has a long way to go. I’m keeping my eyes on Intel for gpus, battle mage is looking to be a good product from all the leaks, but only time will tell.

The latest round of AMD apus generated a fair amount of debate about how for the same money you could get a cheap CPU and GPU and best it in most tests.

I think Intel would really shine there especially the A750 since it has a lot of quality hardware features including AV1 encoding.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

Earlier this week I posted a 35-way Linux graphics card comparison featuring the new NVIDIA RTX 40 SUPER graphics cards and other recent AMD and NVIDIA hardware I had available while using the latest Linux drivers.

Intel Arc Graphics desktop graphics cards weren’t part of that comparison for simply running out of time prior to the RTX 4080 SUPER embargo lift to facilitate that re-testing.

But for those interested, here is a fresh look at the Intel Arc Graphics A580 / A750 / A770 Linux performance against those NVIDIA GeForce and AMD Radeon graphics cards on Ubuntu Linux.

This article is a subset of the results from that prior article in looking at the workloads capable of handling Intel Arc Graphics DG2/Alchemist graphics cards and the current state of the Intel i915 + Mesa ANV / Iris drivers.

Linux 6.7 with Mesa 24.1-devel were used for testing, the same configuration as the AMD Radeon graphics on their open-source driver stack.

So for those wondering about the current performance of the Intel Arc Graphics A580/A750/A770 hardware on Linux against the competition, let’s move on and look at these fresh numbers.
