The renowned Greymon55 filter assured having seen an official slide from Intel where it officially mentions that the top of the line Arc Alchemist series GPU will compete against the RTX 3070 and RX 6700 XT, which would confirm the rumors we have been hearing for months.
Intel’s slide shows that 175-225w SKUs compete with 6700xt and 3070.

Greymon55 also added that these GPUs will have TDPs of between 175W and 225W, where surely the 225W model is the one that manages to reach the RTX 3070 and the RX 6700 XT, having an efficiency very similar to that of AMD and Nvidia since its first. generation, which would be a very good news.
Arc Alchemist GPUs, the first generation Xe-HPG, will arrive in the first quarter of 2022, with a possible announcement during CES 2022. They will feature DirectX 12 Ultimate support plus its IA XeSS rescaling technology, and will be manufactured under the TSMC’s 6nm process, going out to compete against AMD and Nvidia. It is possible that we will know some details about them in advance during the Intel Innovation event, which will take place from October 27 to 28, although it is unlikely.
