Intel Graphics Drivers: Arc A350M and A370M receive new beta driver
Intel released a new preview version of its graphics driver for the Arc series graphics chips, which made its debut based on the Alchemist architecture with the two entry-level discrete graphics Intel A350M and A370M, as well as Iris Xe and Intel UHD in the Core -12th generation processors released for testing.
Driver support for discrete desktop chips
Intel addresses the new graphics driver in the Version 30.0.1101.1732 Beta (PDF) especially for developers and very experienced users, but also for players who want to use the latest optimizations for new games and bug fixes beforehand. In addition to the Arc graphics processor ACM-G11, with its up to 1024 shader units, the versions A770, A750, A580, A380, and A310 expected for the desktop are also supported. It is also intended for the integrated GPUs Intel UHD 770, UHD 730, and UHD 710 of the hybrid desktop processors Alder Lake-S (test) and the mobile CPUs of the Alder Lake-H, -U, -P, and -Y type.
The focus is on the games
