Although Intel failed to fulfill its promise and released the remaining Ruixuan Alchemist (DG2) desktop graphics card, it was confirmed at the "Intel Innovation" summit that the most high-end Ruixuan A770 graphics card will be launched on October 12, 2022, and the same day is also the release date of Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090.
Intel also provides the suggested retail price of Ruixuan A770 graphics card, which is US$329 (approximately RMB 2384.92), which is relatively not high. It uses a complete ACM-G10 chip, with 32 Xe cores with Xe-HPG architecture, with core frequencies of 2100MHz, GDDR6 with a memory capacity of 8GB or 16GB, and a memory bit width of 256 bits, a memory speed of 17.5Gbps, and a memory bandwidth of is 560GB/s, and a power consumption of 225W. Since the video memory has two capacities, $329 may refer to the 8GB version.
Unfortunately, there is still no news about Ruixuan A750 and Ruixuan A580 graphics cards, and the price is not clear. Intel and its retail partners will sell Arc A770 Limited Edition graphics cards, and further news will be rumored to be about Arc A750 Limited Edition graphics cards in a few days. Although these graphics cards vary in hardware specifications, they all have complete functions and support the latest display specifications, such as HDR, variable refresh rate (VRR), XeSS, ray tracing, customizable operations using Arc Control, AV1 encoding and decoding, and other dedicated hardware video encoding and decoding.
Intel also quietly released XeSS technology. Currently, it is shown on the Steam platform that "Tomb Raider" has supported XeSS, which is the first game to support XeSS. It was learned from GitHub that Intel released XeSS 1.0, and it was put on before the announcement of the Ruixuan A770 graphics card news. However, the complete code has not been open sourced yet, it is just an initial version. Previously, Digital Foundry obtained exclusive rights to use Intel XeSS technology and conducted its first test.
