Intel's long-anticipated Arc GPUs arrive in laptops, loaded with enticing features

After years of teases, promises, and hype, a third heavy-hitting player enters the graphics card game today, aiming to shake up the Nvidia/AMD duopoly. Intel's hotly anticipated Arc GPUs hit the streets today--though not in the way you might expect. Rather than debuting in desktop form, Arc's grand reveal comes via laptops, which can drive home some of the enticingly delicious advantages Intel can provide in tuned systems revolving around its Core CPUs and Arc GPUs. Today, Intel took the wraps off its Arc A-series mobile GPUs, launching only the most humble variants--the affordable Arc 3 series. The A350M and A370M will appear in laptops available for preorder today, with prices starting at $899.
