Intel Arc A770 and A750 Graphics Cards Start Selling Worldwide

[btarunr]

Intel announced the general availability of the Arc A770 and A750 performance-segment desktop graphics cards. This includes Intel's reference-design Limited Edition cards, and custom-design ones by the likes of ASRock, Gunnir, and Acer, among other OEMs. The A750 has a baseline price of USD $289, the A770 8 GB at $329, and the A770 16 GB at $349.

Based on the Xe-HPG "Alchemist" graphics architecture, the A750 and A770 are carved out of the same 6 nm ACM-G10 silicon. The A750 is configured with 28 Xe Cores, 448 EU, or 3,584 unified shaders; whereas the A770 maxes it out with 32 Xe Cores, 512 EU, or 4,096 unified shaders. Both cards get 256-bit wide GDDR6 memory interfaces, and while the A750 uses 16 Gbps memory (512 GB/s bandwidth); the A770 has 17.5 Gbps (560 GB/s).

havent seen any mails from usual shops in India about stock of Arc 7 GPUs, only got mails about 4090 availability.

Retailers burned their hands with no takers for A380. So they don't want to take a chance with A770.

Listed here from one retailer in Australia & they all sold out!

Sold out here. Not bad price for the A750 honestly.

I haven't seen the A770 but the A380 costs as much as 6600/3050, pretty sure the A770 will cost much more.
Late to the party, unstable and overpriced.

 

[maxfly]

It's about time.

When i buy my new second desktop with a 8pin and 6 pin connector, plan on buying the a770. Glad they're cheap, and back in stock at newegg or hopefully by the time i get one they will be selling at best buy or ebay. I would buy one now if i had a 8pin connector on my computer, but i don't.

Late to the party = Yes
Unstable = Yes ( but should improve over time I hope)
Overpriced = I think it will depend on the seller, rather than Intel. The MSRP is clearly attractive as compared to Nvidia's offering, but will be hard fight with AMD

Overall, I don't think ARC GPUs will sell well. People who buy them are likely those who are willing to test, and/or, accept the card for what it is for a decent price. But given the global economic health currently, PC hardware demand is going to tank and this product is no exception.

 

[Tsukiyomi91]

uh yea... A750 and A770 are deemed "sold out" during it's supposed October 12th "launch day".

 

[AusWolf]

I've seen them appear at ebuyer here in the UK, but nowhere else. No AIB cards, either. And no stock, they're still on pre-order. Pretty poor launch so far.

 

[csgabe]

In Germany Arc A750 8GB is up for preorder for 350 euros:

Of course you can get RX6650XT for 364 euros.

This looks like a very limited release.

Well, Intel has it's reasons - if they're not confident about their drivers it would really anger a lot of potential buyers that are willing to give them a chance.

But A380 launched months ago. And apparently some problems aren't just bugs - demand for BAR will remain, it's achitecture limitation.

And even in Intel's own promotion they're beginning to focus on next generation of GPUs.

It is what it is. I think the prices for A750 and A770 are much lower than Intel hoped for - crypto has collapsed for now (thankfully), and performance wise they are just on par with similarly priced AMD and Nvidia cards (which don't have millions of problems). I imagine Intel could even be loosing money, as they aimed for much higher performance and price point.

you like living on the edge I see.

In response to the news:
Apperently they want to sell the A770 for 460 euro in Europe which is just a big nope.avi for me.
Even at 350 I would be scratching my head heavily, 100+ extra? yeah thats a no from me Jerry.

And rightfully they shouldn't. Intel can sell these on their own, no need for some retailer to take the risk for such a product.

The prices of the cards (even in the US) are a bit uncompetitive (350$ A770 vs 220 RX 6600) and in Europe are downright obscene.
They are going to flop so hard. Like they should.

 

[GreiverBlade]

the A770 16gb pricing seens, aka: 450$+, is a shot thru the foot by Intel and a PITA for AIB ... because if they price their custom models higher than 400$ they fall in the price i paid for my 6700 XT (and the 16gb variant does not compete with it) although most 6700 XT are more around 600$ but being "old" gen, they will be bound to drop in price once the new one are out.

as much as i am happy that Intel finally got their sh!t sorted and the card behave, that pricing is already too high even without the 7X00 out

at least, HEY! it's cheaper than a 4090! yay...

 

[trsttte]

The price in Europe seems much higher but it's just what they announced + VAT, makes it uncompetitive in Europe regardless but the price didn't change.

also that ^

Switzerland will see price quite ... even more "shot in the foot" than the rest of the world (ncluding europe) we may have a 7.7% VAT but everything is priced at least 25% higher before that

you're lucky if you see MSRP in Switzerland (outside promotions, which is why i managed to get my current card 25$ cheaper than a reference model MSRP )

And the UK. $1 MSRP = £1 retail price when it comes to PC parts here... if you're lucky.

Very poor launch prices when both the RTX3060 and RX6600XT can be found for less. Intel needs to lower their prices meaningfully to gain traction in this segment.

 

[Chomiq]

NBB in Germoney has A750's "LE" in stock for something around €350.

It is what it is. I think the prices for A750 and A770 are much lower than Intel hoped for - crypto has collapsed for now (thankfully), and performance wise they are just on par with similarly priced AMD and Nvidia cards (which don't have millions of problems). I imagine Intel could even be loosing money, as they aimed for much higher performance and price point.

Given that Intel are around 18 months late with this launch, I do have to wonder what the ETH hashrate of the A770 and A750 are, and whether they were targeting the ETH boom.

 

[Bomby569]

Absurd pricing at least in Europe, compared to the AMD cards, there are rx6700 cheaper than the A770, absurd. No one should by that.

 

[WeeRab]

I'm guessing that Intel is counting on getting rid of these overpriced pieces of junk through their friends in the pre-built market.
Anyone buying one of these through the retail channels, at that price needs sectioning.

 

[maxfly]

There are alot of collector's that will buy all three. For some these are like a pair of wacky sneakers.
