China will be the first country to get the Intel Arc A730M based on the ACM-G10 chip, which is already supported by drivers 30.0.101.1735. It looks like it will be hitting the market soon, as this support for Intel mobile graphics cards has been newly released.
Intel is once again releasing drivers for the Arc A730M mobile graphics cards, which are meant to compete with the RTX 3050 and 3060 in terms of performance. They will arrive first in China, as they considered it more profitable from Arizona, so there is (a priori) no arrival date for Europe. We’ll tell you something about driver compatibility, and it looks like each model will be unique.
Intel releases new graphics drivers for the Arc A730M
Intel keeps releasing individual drivers for its graphics cards, and we quickly came to the conclusion that the models aren’t compatible with each other. The news focuses on the 30.0.101.1735 ARC driver, which was re-released yesterday with direct support for the A730M, a mobile GPU that will soon be released primarily in China.
The Intel Arc A730M comes with 24 Xe cores and 12GB GDDR6, which will use a 192-bit interface. Like the rest of the family, they will use Intel XeSS as an alternative to DLSS and FSR, which NVIDIA and AMD have.
As of mid-June 2022, we don’t understand why data or information about Intel Arc Alchemist, especially the portable models, is still coming in dribs and drabs. Intel has spent 3 years releasing teasers and building hype for something that doesn’t seem to exist.
I’m not saying they’re bad or good, just that it’s hard to find information on them and nearly impossible to find benchmarks for gaming. The latest tests from Golden Pig Upgrade (China) show that the Arc A730M is on par with an RTX 3050 or 3060 and is very strong in synthetic benchmarks.
