Intel Arc A770M and A550M mobile graphics cards made their first mark in 3DMark test - the senior showed RTX 3070 level

The first performance test results of yet unreleased Intel Arc A770M and Arc A550M mobile graphics gas pedals appeared in 3DMark synthetic test database.
Both are part of the Arc Alchemist series, which is only available in China so far, and only as low-end models of the Arc A3 series.
As for Intel mobile graphics cards, only Arc A370M has been released so far, with more senior cards still awaiting release.Image source: VideoCardzThe appearance of Arc A770M and Arc A550M graphics cards in 3DMark database indicates that Intel has finally started the active testing phase of these gas pedals, which means that their debut could happen in the coming weeks.

The gas pedal was tested with Intel APO (Advanced Performance Optimizations) function turned on, which speeds up the video card, which actually violates the rules of 3DMark itself.
This function allows to get up to 15% higher results in this test.
Compared to the previously tested Arc A730M (also with APO feature turned on) the Arc A550M, which has half as many graphics cores, is about 67% slower.
Mobile GeForce RTX 3070 vs.
Core i7-12700H in the 3DMark rankingsThe Intel Arc A770M mobile graphics card was tested in the 3DMark Fire Strike Extreme test, where it scored 13,244 points.
This is about the level of the mobile GeForce RTX 3070 tested with the same Core i7-12700H processor.
However, it should be noted that the synthetic test and the real performance of the gas pedal in games are two different things.
The older card was tested using test driver version 9999.
Such drivers are typically used by OEMs and system integrators.
Whether the APO feature was enabled when testing the Arc A770M is unknown.Image source: VideoCardzIntel itself previously talked about the performance of the Arc 770M gas pedal.
According to the company, the card is 12% faster in games than the mobile GeForce RTX 3060.
