Laptops with discrete Intel Arc graphics

Intel Arc

— a separate graphics module created by Intel, built on the Xe HPG (High Performance Graphics) architecture, features support for modern technologies such as hardware ray tracing, AI antialiasing XeSS, DirectX 12 Ultimate, as well as AV1 hardware encoding and decoding. Models like Arc A370M, A550M, A730M, and A770M vary in performance levels: from basic (for light gaming and video work) to gaming solutions with support for high settings in modern games. Arc also performs well in video editing and rendering tasks thanks to Intel Deep Link support — a technology that combines CPU and GPU capabilities to accelerate computations. However, it is not competitive enough to contend with NVIDIA, so the number of laptops with Intel discrete graphics is quite small.
