Intel has published a new Product Change Notification (PCN) that can confirm its limited-edition Arc A770 graphics card has officially been discontinued, with June 20, 2023, having been listed as the product’s last discontinuance order/shipment date.
Originally released on October 12, 2022, with a $349 MSRP, the Arc A770 Limited Edition may be fondly remembered by some as being one of the first discrete in-house designs that Intel developed to showcase its Arc Alchemist architecture, which has since expanded to professional use cases and more.
There doesn’t seem to be any news yet on whether the Arc A750 Limited Edition is also going away, but Intel has made sure to correct some publications that were led to believe that it had killed off Arc A770 GPUs entirely.
From a PC Gamer post:
Update, June 21: Intel has officially confirmed to us it is only discontinuing the Intel branded Arc A770 LE card, and that it is “still producing silicon for AIBs.”
Original story: It’s official. As of June 20th, the Intel-made Arc A770 is history, an ex graphics card. Intel has released a PCN or Product Change Notification for the card. The “key characteristics” of this change? “Product discontinuance”. Yikes.
The notice (currently at the top of Intel’s PCN list) says that June 20th was the final date for both orders and shipments. It’s basically giving all Intel’s customers the heads up that it will no longer be taking orders for Intel-made Arc A770 cards and likewise the last shipments have gone out.
