Intel Arc Alchemist A370M benchmarks meet RTX 3050 in performance

pcinvasion.com:

Intel’s Arc Alchemist desktop graphics cards have reportedly been delayed once again according to various sources. It isn’t all bad news though, since we’ve got some benchmarks of the Intel Arc A370M for laptop via PC World. What Intel has in store with this GPU isn’t anything too spectacular, but it’s decent for the company’s first step into the discrete graphics market.

There are a few things worth noting before we jump into the results. Intel’s A370M is on the low-end of the Arc lineup, so performance in these benchmarks shouldn’t blow anyone’s minds. Still, as far as low-end GPUs go, it isn’t too bad. This is only the beginning of Intel’s graphics card releases, so we can expect to see much better overall performance in later releases.

PC World is one of the few outlets that has been able to get hands-on time with the A370M. Intel provided the outlet with a chance to try several systems housing the Arc A370M reference model for repeat tests with multiple titles. Each of these reference laptops was based on MSI’s Summit E16 Flip Evo.

These benchmarks are the best indicators we have for Intel’s A370M and its gaming performance. Broadly speaking, the A370M manages to perform at the same level as an RTX 3050 in gaming. It still falls far behind the RTX 3060 mobile variant though, at least with the titles that were tested.

A benchmark using 3DMark Time Spy kicked the tests off, where the synthetic performance wasn’t too shabby. Intel’s A370M scores 4,405 beat out the RTX 3050’s score of 3,772 (HP Spectre x360) and 4,396 (Asus Vivobook Pro 15 OLED). However, it didn’t manage to best the RTX 3050 Ti mobile or the RTX 3060 mobile which had scores of 5,938 and 8,201 respectively.

The A370M is on the low-end of the Arc
