Het is eindelijk zover, want Intel heeft haar eerste discrete Arc-GPU’s gelanceerd. Het betreft een duo voor de mobiele markt, die door het leven gaan als de Arc A370M en Arc A350M. Daar is nu de eerste Arc Graphics Driver voor verschenen, om precies te zijn versie 30.0.101.1325. Daarbij introduceert de fabrikant ook Arc Control, een software waarmee je alle GPU’s van Intel kan aansturen, inclusief Iris Xe van Alder Lake-processoren.
