Latest Intel Arc Technology Puts Creator-Class Power In Laptops

Have you ever been forced to compromise with work or play just because you were on the go? Are you tired of not having enough graphical oomph on your current laptop when you need it the most? Say no more: Intel presents its latest-and-greatest powerful Intel Arc technology to redefine the way you perceive integrated graphics solutions. Here’s what it’s all about.

Intel Arc graphical units are the brand’s latest solution for power users who need prowess at the edge of their fingertips. Available in both desktop and laptop GPU configurations, these devices are slated to be at the forefront of innovation. We’ll focus more on the portable option here as many of us are always moving and travelling – especially this Christmas season. But while enjoying the holidays with loved ones is extremely important, some of us just need that daily dose of productivity.

Specifically, the Intel Arc A-series processors found in upcoming laptop models are noteworthy for bringing unparalleled grunt in compact designs. This is ideal for users whose everyday tasks require more muscle than the average consumer. These latest chips feature the revolutionary Xe-HPG architecture with advanced Xe cores delivering immersive gaming and creation experiences. Features like built-in machine learning, ray tracing hardware, and graphics acceleration add up to the entire experience.

Delving into Xe Super Sampling (XeSS), this supercharges all your games. AI-enhanced upscaling brings the visuals to life, both in smoothness and image fidelity. Activating this functionality is as easy as flipping on a switch.

All this means that when you travel for the holiday season, you can easily bring an Intel Arc powered device with you. For those of us whose backs will probably crumble if we carry too much, we’re relieved that bringing along the often-cumbersome charging brick isn’t a necessity here like it is with other energy-hungry devices.

After all, Intel Evo requires at least 9 hours of battery life in order to gain that certification. Under the stress and load of editing, we can expect around 5-6 hours or so. That’s not so bad for getting work done in a coffee shop or in a lounge! Since Evo and Arc are both Intel products, we can expect them to work well together in a single device.

Another fact about the Intel Arc GPU is that it’s the first one in the world with hardware-accelerated AVI encoding. You can get a lot of content done in minimal time. In layman’s terms, this tech exponentially speeds up photo/video editing and rendering with AI-accelerated workflows. With the help of DeepLink Hyper Encode, even the exportation of projects is completed at a blistering rate. Those who generate a lot of digital content as part of their daily routine should suddenly find more free time than ever before due to the game-changing efficiency Intel Arc GPUs bring to the table. This becomes obvious especially when you’re limited by a single cycle of battery life.

Those who want to bring their streaming careers on the go will enjoy the presence of the Arc Control Virtual Camera. It has groundbreaking features like Automatic Camera Framing, a Virtual Green Screen, and Auto Game Highlights to make everything that much easier for the end user. You can literally be playing live from anywhere in the world and your viewers wouldn’t notice a single thing. We can imagine that content creators are going to be very happy with this one.

With a machine carrying the Intel Arc graphical unit as its beating heart and soul, users can fully unleash both their creativity and competitive spirit in-game without restraint.

Excited? You don’t need to wait too long for an Intel Arc-powered mobile device. Actually, we got the Intel Evo-verified Lenovo Yoga 7i in-house for testing. We were pretty excited to see how an Evo-Arc combination would work in real life.

For the spec-conscious, this particular device comes equipped with a 12th-generation Intel Core i5 processor supported by an Intel Arc GPU.

This surplus of power enables it to smoothly operate its stunning 16-inch 2K display. That screen is honestly amazing. It’s bright, expansive, and doing ANYTHING on it is an absolute treat.

Since this is a convertible, it can fully rotate and stand on its own. The touchscreen is also extremely responsive and easy to use. We can imagine propping this up on a table to watch our favorite shows or collaborating together on a work/school project with it.

Here we have our UNBOX PH member Jal conducting a quick statistics lecture to a small group. It’s actually quite a fun activity to have friends send over their files and just give presentations on anything they want to. This is perfect for it.

Some may say it’s “just an i5,” but we never felt anything lacking. It’s a pretty stacked device with cutting-edge Wi-Fi 6 and a multitude of Thunderbolt and USB-A 3.2 ports.

It may look sleek on the outside, but dock this on your table and it can become the center of your desktop-replacement setup. It’s a beautiful marriage of portability and sheer grunt. Its full spec list can be viewed here.

To sum it up, creators and gamers have all to benefit from the debut of Intel Arc GPUs in laptop and desktop arrangements. We believe the value-add of these quality-of-life upgrades is sufficient to prove that in-house GPUs aren’t just going to continue losing to their counterparts from renowned brands.

We have yet to see how these industry players will respond, but one thing’s for sure; this will elevate the playing field and force innovation forward. As a consumer and tech enthusiasts, we have all to gain from these intense price-to-performance showdowns. It’s our hard-earned cash on the line after all.

The Intel Evo-certified Lenovo Yoga 7i powered by Intel Arc is priced at Php83,995 and available at Abenson, PC Cartel, Unicom Computer Store, Denvers Computer, NG KHAI, and Thinking Tools. Visit the official site for more details.
