< p class="p text-width">The main protagonist for the gaming ambitions of the 358.8 × 265.4 × 26.6 mm (W×D×H) and 2.45 kg notebook, the Intel Arc A730M, comes with a 12 GB GDDR6 graphics memory reported as 14 Gbps.

Chinese specifications may vary

An image gallery of the online trading platform JD.com, which uses a format that is rather rare in the western world, once again focuses on all the highlights of the gaming notebook individually.

Even if the Intel Arc A730M is expected to celebrate its premiere in China, the specifications do not have to be transferred 1:1 to local notebooks. For example, a GDDR6 graphics memory with 16 Gbps was assumed until recently. So far, Intel has only made the memory volume and width of the memory interface public, but not the clock.
