Intel's Arc A370M Is As Fast As The Nvidia RTX 3050

screenrant.com:

Intel's newly-released Arc A370M discrete graphics cards reportedly have similar performance to that of Nvidia's RTX 3050 GPU. Intel announced its Arc A-series discrete GPUs for laptops in late March after months of leaks, rumors and speculations. The A-series GPUs have three distinct lines — Arc 3, Arc 5 and Arc 7. Arc 3, which is already shipping with new devices, is the entry-level lineup aimed at ultrabooks and regular laptops for casual gamers. Arc 5 and Arc 7 are aimed at more serious gamers, and devices with those cards will launch later this year.

As for the RTX 3050, it is Nvidia's entry-level discrete graphics card that is available on low-power laptops for casual gamers. It is one of the most widely-used GPUs in its category, along with AMD's RX 6500M. If the new Arc cards can match the RTX 3050 in terms of performance, there's a good chance that it will become relatively common in the coming months. However, most serious gamers will still look at the Arc 5 and Arc 7 cards, and more importantly, the upcoming desktop Arc Alchemist offerings that are expected to launch this summer.
