Intel Arc GPUs haven’t quite made the mark on the market as Intel might’ve hoped. According to research earlier in the year, Nvidia, AMD, and Intel had an 88%, 12%, and 0% market share in Q1’24, respectively.Â
However, that didn’t stop Intel from supporting its GPUs. The latest drivers for the Arc GPUs and Xe graphics for Core Ultra processors are out, bringing support for more games. We’ve also seen the Geekbench performance for one of the upcoming Intel GPUs, Battlemage G21, which is a step in the right direction but far from giving the competition any trouble.

The latest Intel graphic driver, version 32.0.101.6130_101.6048, is 1.6 GB in size and recommended for the following Windows. You can download the driver from Intel’s website.
