Leaked Intel Graphics Drivers Uncover Arc Alchemist A380 and A350 GPU Naming

Intel’s drivers for 11th generation NUC devices, labeled driver version 30.0.101.9999, have been leaked on the company website. They reveal quite a bit of information about the upcoming names of Intel’s discrete graphics card efforts. As we know, the upcoming lineup of discrete GPUs from Intel is called Arc Alchemist designs, whose naming convention was unknown before this leak. Today, we know that the two low-mid range models will be Arc A3XX. According to the driver code we know that there are four GPUs present, codenamed Arc 380, Arc 350, Arc A370M and, Arc A350M.

Presumably, the “M” label designates the mobile variants for the laptop/notebook sector, while the rest will fit in the regular PCIe slot. According to some speculation, the Arc A380 model will be at NVIDIA GeForce GTS 1650 SUPER level, while the weaker Arc A350 will be around RTX 3050 or AMD Radeon RX 6400 level of performance. The Arc A350 will have 128 EUs enabled out of the whole 512 in the DG2 package. The complete DG2 chip with 512 EUs should be launched alongside these Arc models and will also carry an Arc AXXX naming convention.
