For context: DirectX support in Intel's ARC GPUs were really lacking due to running on a transition layer, it was one of the sore spots of their new graphics card. This update looks like it will help massively.

I've heard this so many times. If they were all true the a770 on the shelf in my office would have created an AI singularity. Alas, on the shelf it stays. Maybe a second generation will actually have most of the bugs hammered out and be performant enough to rival AMD and Nvidia

Intel introduced a new graphics driver update containing optimizations for PC games, with a DX11 title receiving a 750% improvement

Notice it says "a DX11 title," and that title is Halo: The Master Chief Collection. That is to say that the game likely used to perform very very poorly, and now performs acceptably.
