Driver reveals names of Intel graphics cards Arc A380, A350, A370M and A350M

Intel has put a driver online that contains the names of four as yet unannounced Arc video cards. It probably concerns two GPUs for desktops and two variants for laptops. Next year, Intel will release the first Arc video cards.

According to VideoCardz, the names can be derived from files in a graphics driver for Intel’s NUC Kit. The A380 and A350 are believed to be desktop graphics cards, while the A370M and A350M are laptop variants. These four cards all have the Arc designation, which Intel will use for its GPUs. There will also be an Iris Xe A200M GPU. The Iris name indicates an integrated GPU. The name also shows that it is based on the current Xe GPU architecture.

More details than the names can not be concluded from the driver, but the presence of the four different GPUs may indicate that Intel is about to present those models. Intel has already indicated that it will release its first Arc video cards in early 2022. In August, the company showed teasers of various GPU chips.

A reference to the Arc A380 was made earlier this month already spotted by Twitter user Apisak† It claims that this card has 6GB of vram and a clock speed of 2.45GHz. The performance would be comparable to that of an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1650 Super. This indicates that the A380 is not Intel’s fastest video card, because according to previous rumors, Arc video cards with a maximum of 16GB of ram appear. VideoCardz suggests that there may also be A500 and A700 and A900 series.

Intel has its Arc Alchemist GPUs made at TSMC on a 6nm process. The official announcement may be made on January 4, 2022, at Intel’s CES press conference. At the end of October, photos appeared online that may show an Intel Arc video card.
