Intel Arc is the graphics processor brand of Intel Corporation (NASDAQ: INTC), headquartered in Santa Clara, California. Launched in 2022 with the Arc A-series, the brand covers discrete desktop and laptop GPUs, professional workstation graphics under Arc Pro, and the integrated GPUs inside Intel Core Ultra processors. The second-generation Arc B-series, built on the Battlemage architecture, arrived in December 2024 with the B580 and B570.

Intel announced the Arc brand in August 2021 for what had been known internally as Intel Xe DG2, the company's first serious entry into discrete graphics since the i740 in 1998. The first Arc A-series laptop and desktop GPUs shipped in 2022 led by the A770 and A750, launched under Raja Koduri, the AMD veteran recruited to run Intel's graphics division.
The first generation struggled. Driver immaturity, inconsistent performance, and delayed launches left the A-series fighting for share in a market where NVIDIA and AMD had decades of driver optimization. Intel priced aggressively to compensate and gradually improved software support through continuous driver releases.
The second generation landed better. The Arc B580, launched in December 2024 on the Battlemage architecture, delivered strong 1440p performance at a $249 price point and drew reviews praising it as a legitimate value alternative to the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 class. The B570 followed at $219, and the Arc Pro B50 and B60 extended the line into professional workstation GPUs.
Under Lip-Bu Tan's restructuring, the Arc roadmap continues with the Celestial architecture powering the integrated GPU inside Panther Lake processors launched in late 2025, while discrete development continues. Koduri departed Intel in 2023, and the graphics organization now reports through the client computing group.
What does Intel own?
Intel owns 10+ major product brands including Intel Core (consumer processors), Intel Xeon (server processors), Intel Arc (discrete graphics), Intel Optane (memory and storage), Thunderbolt (connectivity), Intel Gaudi (AI accelerators), Intel Iris Xe (integrated graphics), Intel vPro (business platforms), Intel Evo (laptop certification), and Intel Loihi (neuromorphic computing).
Is Intel publicly traded?
Yes, Intel is publicly traded on the NASDAQ stock exchange under ticker symbol INTC. The company has been publicly traded since 1971 and has a market capitalization of approximately $100 billion as of early 2026. Shares are available through major brokerage accounts.
Who founded Intel?
Intel was founded in 1968 by Robert Noyce and Gordon Moore, both pioneers in semiconductor technology who previously co-founded Fairchild Semiconductor. Noyce was co-inventor of the integrated circuit, and Moore formulated Moore's Law, which predicted that the number of transistors on a chip would double approximately every two years.
Where is Intel headquartered?
Intel is headquartered in Santa Clara, California, USA, in the heart of Silicon Valley. The company's headquarters campus, called Robert Noyce Building, houses its executive offices and key research operations. Intel operates major manufacturing facilities in the United States (Arizona, Oregon, New Mexico, Ohio), Ireland, Israel, and other global locations.
Who is Intel's current CEO?
Lip-Bu Tan has served as Intel's CEO since March 2025, following Pat Gelsinger's departure in December 2024. Tan previously served on Intel's board from 2022 to 2024 and was CEO of Cadence Design Systems. His leadership focuses on operational excellence, manufacturing execution, and navigating the competitive semiconductor landscape.
What is Intel's revenue?
Intel reported $53.1 billion in revenue for FY2024. In Q4 2025, the company reported revenue of $13.7 billion, exceeding Wall Street expectations of $13.4 billion, with adjusted EPS of $0.15 beating expectations of $0.08. However, the company reported a net loss of $600 million for the quarter.
What is Intel 18A?
Intel 18A is the company's most advanced semiconductor process technology, competing with TSMC's 2nm technology. It represents the most advanced semiconductor node developed and manufactured in the United States, with production already underway at Intel's Fab 52 in Arizona. High-volume production is expected later in 2026, marking a significant milestone in Intel's effort to regain manufacturing leadership.
How is Intel's foundry business performing?
Intel Foundry Services generated $4.5 billion in Q4 2025 revenue, up 6.4% sequentially. However, the business posted a $2.5 billion operating loss due to ongoing capacity investments and the early ramp-up of Intel's 18A process technology. EUV-based processes now account for over 10% of foundry revenue, up from less than 1% in 2023.
What is Intel's relationship with Nvidia?
Intel and Nvidia have a complex competitive and cooperative relationship. While they compete in AI accelerators and graphics processing, Nvidia completed a $5 billion stock purchase in Intel during Q4 2025. Intel's Xeon processors also serve as host CPUs in many Nvidia GPU systems, creating a symbiotic relationship in the data center AI ecosystem.
