Intelâs Arc GPUs debuted today for laptops, but the company hasnât forgotten its highly anticipated re-entry into the world of desktop graphics cards, either: the company showed off a first look at the final Arc hardware, along with a reveal that the first GPUs will arrive this summer as a âlimited editionâ release.
The company isnât offering too many details on the desktop Arc cards beyond the quick glimpse of the hardware itself, although presumably, more details will arrive before the summer. The video does show that the Arc card has a dual-fan design, along with a single HDMI port and three DisplayPort ports on the side, although itâs not clear what the specifications for those ports are from appearance alone.
Intel is also calling the new Arc card a âlimited edition.â However, itâs not clear whether that means the company will have a limited stock of cards when they launch this summer or if itâs an appellation for its in-house GPUs (similar to Nvidiaâs Founderâs Edition branding).
The desktop Arc GPUs wonât be the only Arc products arriving this summer: Intelâs more powerful Arc 5 and Arc 7 laptop GPUs, as well as its XeSS AI-based super-sampling, are also set to arrive in âearly summer,â too.
