With the shipping date approaching, Intel’s Arc Alchemist A770 desktop graphics card appeared in the Geek Bench OpenCL benchmark, with the main frequency of 2.4 GHz. Of course, this isn’t the first time Intel’s flagship Arc Alchemist GPU configuration has been featured in the Geekbench OpenCL benchmark, but it’s definitely the first time it’s been under the correct name.

Once again, Intel’s Arc Alchemist A770 desktop graphics card made an unexpected appearance in the Geek Bench OpenCL benchmark. The Intel Arc A770 Graphics is a high-end gaming graphics card with a full ACM-G10 GPU core.
Moreover, the Intel Arc 7 series will use the flagship ACM-G10 GPU, with several models currently known including the Arc A770M and Arc A730M. The Arc A770 is a top-of-the-line graphics card with a full ACM-G10 core, including 4096 ALUs, 32 Xe cores, and 32 ray tracing units, and is also one of the high-end graphics cards for desktop PCs.
Unfortunately, Geekbench still doesn’t list the exact VRAM configuration, except that 12.7 GB is a false reading, so this card will most likely have 16 GB of GDDR6 memory. Intel has previously stated that the Arc card is the Arc A780, so the A770 is likely to be a castrated version with a slightly lower frequency than the A780, up to the level of NVIDIA’s previous-generation flagship RTX 2070. At 2400 MHz, this card should be able to deliver close to 20 TFLOPs of FP32 performance.
In terms of performance, the Intel Arc Alchemist A770 scored 85585 points in the OpenCL graphics benchmark, which is very low for such a high-end graphics card, but there is currently no dedicated graphics card driver, so the low running score is expected. The performance will improve within a month. The sources believe that when it is launched at the end of the second quarter of 2022, its final performance will be close to the RTX 3070 and 6700 XT.
