History. Predecessor. i740. Intel Arc is a brand of graphics processing units designed by Intel. These are discrete GPUs mostly marketed for the high-margin PC gaming market. The brand also covers Intel's consumer graphics software and services. Arc competes with Nvidia 's GeForce and AMD 's Radeon lines. [2]
Intel Iris Graphics and Intel Iris Pro Graphics are the IGP series introduced in 2013 with some models of Haswell processors as the high-performance versions of HD Graphics. Iris Pro Graphics was the first in the series to incorporate embedded DRAM. Since 2016 Intel refers to the technology as Intel Iris Plus Graphics with the release of Kaby Lake.
GPU switching. GPU switching is a mechanism used on computers with multiple graphic controllers. This mechanism allows the user to either maximize the graphic performance or prolong battery life by switching between the graphic cards. It is mostly used on gaming laptops which usually have an integrated graphic device and a discrete video card.
Nvidia ShadowPlay is a hardware-accelerated screen recording utility available as part of Nvidia 's GeForce Experience software for GeForce GPUs. Launched in 2013, it can be configured to record a continuous buffer, allowing the user to save the video retroactively. [1] [2] ShadowPlay is supported for any Nvidia GTX 600 series card or higher.
Intel Arc. Intel Arc is a high-performance discrete graphics line optimized for gaming. This will compete directly with the Radeon and GeForce lines of graphics processing units. The first generation (codenamed "Alchemist"), was developed under the "DG2" name and is based on the Xe-HPG architecture.
GPU virtualization. GPU virtualization refers to technologies that allow the use of a GPU to accelerate graphics or GPGPU applications running on a virtual machine. GPU virtualization is used in various applications such as desktop virtualization, [1] cloud gaming [2] and computational science (e.g. hydrodynamics simulations).
Graphics pipeline. The computer graphics pipeline, also known as the rendering pipeline or graphics pipeline, is a framework within computer graphics that outlines the necessary procedures for transforming a three-dimensional (3D) scene into a two-dimensional (2D) representation on a screen. [1] Once a 3D model is generated, the graphics ...
Intel GMA. The Intel Graphics Media Accelerator ( GMA) is a series of integrated graphics processors introduced in 2004 by Intel, replacing the earlier Intel Extreme Graphics series and being succeeded by the Intel HD and Iris Graphics series. This series targets the market of low-cost graphics solutions.
