The first batch of Intel Arc Alchemist GPUs could be released between May and June 2022 according to credible sources.
While Intel itself has officially stated that Arc Alchemist discrete graphics cards are coming to market in Q2 2022, no specified date has been given as of yet. Enter Igor's Lab with information stating that at least one to three models are rumored to launch between May 2 and June 1, 2022.
Igor also stated how: "Several different sources have told me of another Intel card postponement, at least as far as SKU 1 to 3, the three performance models, are concerned." He also went on to say how the delay could be down to wanting to perfect graphics cards driver support ahead of release. This could be the reason for the 32-day gap release window.
This information would be consistent with other Intel Arc Alchemist GPU rumors that we've been seeing since the start of the year, especially in reiterating the three series that are expected to launch. We've previously covered how OpenCL benchmarks may have revealed the A300, A500, and A700 series of Alchemist GPUs, so this rumor certainly has some weight behind it.
Wccftech honed in further on its speculation for the upcoming Intel Arc Alchemist GPU generation that's destined to hit the market. The theorized specs range from the weakest GPU in the line-up, the Arc A330, with a proposed 4GB GDDR6 of memory and a 64-bit memory bus, essentially paralleling it with AMD's entry-level RX 6500 XT which dropped in late January 2022.
Interestingly enough, however, is the highest-end of Intel Arc Alchemist GPUs reported to be in production, rumored to be the Arc A780 with either 32GB or 16GB GDDR6 memory and a 256-bit memory bus, as reported by Wccftech. The A780 could be
