Intel's new desktop Arc Alchemist GPUs are only a few months away, and thanks to their recent presentation video of their Arc Control panel, desktop GPU details appeared.

Intel is rolling out a new GPU monitoring suite for its Arc Alchemist and Xe Iris desktop GPUs called Arc Control, with the recent presentation teaing the new "Performance Tab" for GPU monitoring and basic overclocking (OC) tools. In the quick sneak peak, Intel had a live performance monitoring panel showing the GPU power, GPU clock, and VRAM clock of the GPU inside of the PC.

We don't know which GPU that Intel was using in the machine, but it would've been an Arc Alchemist desktop GPU of some kind -- with a GPU boost clock of 2250MHz, GPU power (not the entire card, but the GPU only) at 175W and the GDDR6 memory clocks at 1093MHz. None of the new Arc Alchemist mobile GPUs have a power draw of 175W, with the Arc A770M maxing out at 150W. But remember, the 175W is GPU power draw alone... not the entire card... meaning we're looking at 200-225W+ full power for the whole card.

NVIDIA has only just launched its new flagship GeForce RTX 3090 Ti, with MSI unleashing its new GeForce RTX 3090 Ti SUPRIM X -- my review on the MSI RTX 3090 Ti SUPRIM X here -- and now MSI has announced its new 3dfx Voodoo5 7000 series GPU.

The new MSI Voodoo5 7000 series GPU is an "Extreme 2D/3D accelerator" that packs a huge 48GB of GDDR7 memory, something that Samsung only teased late last year. GDDR7 memory will reportedly arrive at a blistering 32Gbps bandwidth, which is up from the already ultra-fast 21Gbps on the latest GDDR6X memory on the GeForce RTX 3090 Ti.

MSI's new Voodoo5 7000 series GPU with 48GB of GDDR7 memory underneath still rocks an old-school DVI connector, so that you can run 8K 120FPS on Ultra details with reverse 2dfx technology -- MSI and 3dfx's take on AI upscaling... turning 3D graphics to 2D graphics. You need to buy the monster Voodoo5 7000 series GPU with 48GB of GDDR7 to render 8K 120FPS, only so you can play it at 1024 x 768 @ 30FPS.

I'm sure Tom from Moore's Law is Dead will want to have the world exclusive on Moore Threads' new MTT S60 and S2000 GPUs.

Moore Threads announced the new GPUs today, on the same day as Intel detailing its new Arc A-Series Mobile GPUs that are rolling out into laptops over the coming months. The new MTT S60 and MTS2000 desktop GPUs from Moore Threads are made on the 12nm process node, using the MUSA (MT Unified System Architecture).

MUSA is the first GPU architecture out of China, and get this -- MUSA supports the DirectX Runtime -- something that's missing from every other Chinese GPU. MUSA not only supports DirectX, but also OpenCL, OpenGL, Vulkan -- and even NVIDIA's CUDA.

Intel announced its new Arc Alchemist Mobile GPUs today, with a duo of Arc GPUs now called the ACM-G10 and ACM-G11... with some more details on the ACM-G10 GPU now here.

The new Intel ACM-G10 GPU used to be called the DG2-512EU, with the chip rocking 21.7 billion transistors and measures in at 406mm2 in size. This means Intel's new ACM-G10 is larger not just NVIDIA's mid-range GA104 GPU but also AMD's new mid-range Navi 22 GPU.

NVIDIA's mid-range GA102 GPU has 17.4 billion transistors and 392mm2 die size, while AMD's mid-range Navi 22 GPU has 17.2 billion transistors and a size size of 336mm2. Intel is using the TSMC 6N process node for its new Arc GPUs, while AMD taps TSMC N7 and NVIDIA with Samsung 8N.

NVIDIA's new flagship GeForce RTX 3090 Ti is now official, with liquid cooling leader EK announcing a bunch of new Quantum Vector water blocks for the new RTX 3090 Ti GPU.

The new GeForce RTX 3090 Ti might have the same 24GB of GDDR6X memory, but they're Micron's latest 2Gbit modules which means there's no double-sided GDDR6X here, thus no need for active backplates. NVIDIA's first GeForce RTX 3090 had double-sided GDDR6X memory and saw temperatures soaring to 110C when stressed.

EK knows that there isn't really a need to have an active backplate for the GeForce RTX 3090 Ti -- as the RTX 3090 Ti has the same 24GB GDDR6X as the RTX 3090, but with new 2GB chips so there's no GDDR6X modules on the back of the card -- enthusiasts don't care, they want active backplates for the RTX 3090 Ti.

Intel has officially launches its new Arc A-Series Mobile GPUs with the lowest-end Arc 3 GPUs launching now, while Arc 5 and Arc 7 launch in the coming months... but what about XeSS?

Intel's new XeSS isn't making the launch, with the AI upscaling technology promised for "early summer" which better lines up with the higher-end desktop Arc Alchemist GPUs launching. AMD just launched its new FidelityFX Super Resolution 2.0 (FSR 2.0) while NVIDIA has DLSS 2.3 out (and should launch DLSS 3.0 in the coming months leading into Ada Lovelace).

There is something Intel did confirm: XeSS will support up to 20 games at launch, including big titles like Death Stranding: Director's Cut, Ghostwire Tokyo, Shadow of the Tomb Raider, and many more. We will have a little while to go yet, but things are beginning to get clearer as Intel rolls out its Arc GPUs to the masses.

Intel has just launched its first Arc A-Series GPUs for laptops, detailing its Arc 3, Arc 5, and Arc 7 families of mobile GPUs that will be powering laptops throughout 2022.

Intel has launched its Arc A-Series Mobile GPUs with the flagship Arc A730M + A770M, with the A730M featuring 24 Xe GPU cores while the A770M rocks 32 Xe GPU cores. The Arc A730M has GPU clocks of up to 1100MHz while the flagship Arc A770M has GPU clocks of up to 1650MHz.

We will see 16GB of GDDR6 memory on the Intel Arc A770M on a 256-bit memory bus and 120-150W TDP, while the Arc A730M has 12GB of GDDR6 memory on a 192-bit memory bus and 80-120W TDP. Under that we have the Arc A550M with 16 Xe GPU cores and up to 900MHz GPU clocks, 8GB of GDDR6 on a 128-bit memory bus and 60-80W TDP.

Intel has just officially teased its Arc A-Series desktop GPU, with the official Intel Arc Alchemist Desktop Limited Edition graphics card teased by the company just now. Check it out:

The company teases its upcoming Intel Arc A-Series Limited Edition GPU, where inside we should see the full-spec ACM-G10 GPU with 32 Xe-Cores and 16GB of GDDR6 memory. For display connectivity we can see that Intel is going with 3 x DisplayPort and 1 x HDMI 2.1 connector -- at least we'd hope so.

We don't know how many PCIe power connectors Intel's new Arc A-Series Limited Edition graphics card will have, but I doubt it'll have one of those nice new 16-pin PCIe power connectors that NVIDIA's new flagship GeForce RTX 3090 Ti has... not that Intel's more mid-range Arc A-Series GPU would need that.

COLORFUL has just unleashed a trio of new custom GeForce RTX 3090 Ti graphics cards, with the new iGame GeForce RTX 3090 Ti Vulcan and iGame GeForce RTX 3090 Ti Neptune both capable of taking up to 510W of power.

The new flagship COLORFUL iGame GeForce RTX 3090 Ti Vulcan rocks an LCD display on top, with a 480 x 128 resolution and can show real-time monitoring of your GPU and GDDR6X temperatures, custom GIFs, and images. You can use the 2-in-1 cable to connect the display to the card's interface, uploading to a customized display.

NVIDIA's tweaked GA102 GPU is pushed up to 1860MHz boost GPU clock, while the "One-Key OC" mode (the physical OC button on the back of the card) will push the GPU boost up to 1920MHz. I'm sure it'll sit somewhere around 2000MHz or so, overclockable up to 2050-2100MHz. But, with all that OC means the power numbers drive up: 480W default, 510W with OC... all over the single 16-pin PCIe power connector (which sprawls out to 3 x 8-pin connectors, like the other custom RTX 3090 Ti cards).

NVIDIA's new GeForce RTX 3090 Ti is now official, with EVGA teasing its new GeForce RTX 3090 Ti KINGPIN Hybrid graphics card... wielding dual 16-pin PCIe power connectors, and an OLED display.

We saw EVGA's exotic GeForce RTX 3090 Ti KINGPIN Hybrid earlier this year when the company teased it in January, but now it's been shown off in more detail now that NVIDIA has released the RTX 3090 Ti. There's no pictures of the AIO cooler, but you can see a huge bulky AIO cooler is going to be with the card... I didn't like it on the ASUS ROG Strix LC GeForce RTX 3090 Ti OC Edition that I reviewed in the last 24 hours.

But what EVGA also does is include a slick OLED panel so that you can keep an eye on those GPU and GDDR6X temperatures, while the new GeForce RTX 3090 Ti KINGPIN Hybrid requires a truly ridiculous dual 16-pin PCIe power connector setup.
