Integrated Intel Arc Graphics – Built into Intel Core Ultra processors (like your Core Ultra 9 185H). This is what your Geekom GT1 Mega uses.
Discrete Intel Arc GPUs – Standalone graphics cards such as the Arc A770, A750, and newer B-series cards.

Your Core Ultra 9 185H with Intel Arc graphics can accelerate AI workloads using:

Those are among the best ways to take advantage of Intel Arc for local AI.

Integrated Intel Arc graphics are significantly faster than older Intel Iris Xe graphics and are capable of:

1080p gaming on many titles
4K video editing
Running local AI models (7B–14B models work well depending on quantization and available RAM)

If you meant Arc Browser (the web browser) instead of Intel Arc, let me know and I'll cover that instead.
