Intel has confirmed that its Arc A750 graphics card has reached end-of-life, as outlined in Product Change Notification #856777‑00 published yesterday. This announcement marks the beginning of the end for a model that arrived just two and a half years ago, and it offers partners a clear timetable for winding down orders and shipments. Customers should mark June 27, 2025, as their final opportunity to submit discontinuance orders for the Arc A750. After that date, no new orders will be accepted. All remaining units are slated for delivery by September 26, 2025. Intel recommends that system builders, integrators, and distributors assess their inventory and projected needs now and then place any last orders before the cutoff. Should questions arise, field sales representatives stand ready to assist. Do note that end of life here means end of manufacturing, not end of support. Intel will continue to provide driver and quality of life updates to these Arc Alchemist GPUs.

When it launched in October 2022, the Arc A750 staked its claim in the performance segment of Intel's market-entry discrete GPU lineup. Based on the DG2‑512 processor in its ACM‑G10 form, the card leveraged TSMC's 6 nm to pack 21.7 billion transistors into a 406 square millimeter die. With 3,584 shading units, 224 texture units, and 112 ROPs, it delivered strong raster throughput. Its 28 ray‑tracing cores and 448 tensor cores brought hardware‑accelerated lighting and machine-learning inference within reach of mainstream gamers and creators alike. At the board level, the A750 features 8 GB of GDDR6 memory, running at an effective 16 Gbps across a 256-bit bus, which yields 512 GB/s of bandwidth. A base clock of 2,050 MHz could be boosted to 2,400 MHz, while a dual-slot design drew up to 225 W via one 6-pin and one 8-pin connector. Video outputs included HDMI 2.1 and three DisplayPort 2.0 ports, all bridged to the host system over PCI‑Express 4.0 x16.

Doesnt EOL usually also mean no more updates/drivers?
Just to be clear, Im sure this is just about production as it says so in the article but the term used here is my issue:

"End of life" (EOL) for a product signifies the final stage in its lifecycle. It means the product is no longer actively sold, maintained, or supported by the manufacturer, and may be replaced by a newer or updated version. Essentially, the product is nearing or has reached the point where it's considered obsolete."

That's what I thought when I read the title, but then I remembered Intel makes announcements like this when a CPU exits production and those don't need driver updates. Since the announcement only talks about orders and hardware I think it's safe to assume that driver support is safe for the moment.
 
This notification is about the boxed graphics card manufactured by Intel, not the chip itself, and definitely not cessation of driver development.
Marketing Name: Intel® Arc™ A750 Graphics (8GB), box
Product Code: 21P02J00BA
 
Yeah, basically it means you will not be able to order any more chip/card SKUs for it beyond a certain date (not that I'm expecting there are many looking to at this point).

Sometimes, Usually EOL is end of sale and EOS (End of Support) is the end of drivers.
 
I hope that driver updates don't end! Otherwise, it will be Alchemist getting treated as if it were Kepler, FFS!

If that's the case, then I guess I put my RX 6750XT back in.

The A750 and A770 are both EOL'd and we STILL dont have the B750/770 anywhere in sight. If Celestial does launch, it'll be the last of intel's dGPUs at this rate.
This would be more of a concern if the EOL the a770 or all of the aXXX cards.
The A770 got EOLd over a year ago.

Kepler, you mean the GPUs that got a decade of driver support? THAT kepler?

Lol I do hope they are smart and have some semblance of unified drivers...
 
No, it means the product will not longer be manufactured at the specified date. Drivers will still be maintained for at least 4 or 5 more years.

They also call that End of Life, from the article indeed it seems its just about production, my comment is more about the usually meaning of the term "end of life".

That's AMD. Every company has their own term usage. With Intel, there is a difference between "End of life" and "End of support". One indicates a product sell through shelf life. The other indicates the product software support timeline.
