I just received my Galaxy Book 2 Pro. I hear and read that it comes with the new Arc 350a or 370a gpu. I have the 15.6-inch model and I can't find any gpu other than the Intel Iris iGPU? How do I find out if this pc has the new Arc gpu on board?

Discrete graphics (only for the 15.6-inch clamshell model)

Another noteworthy upgrade is that the 15.6-inch model of the Samsung Galaxy Book 2 Pro (the 360 model isn’t included) now has the option for discrete graphics. Specifically, you can add an intel Arc GPU if you want a bit more graphics power for things like gaming.

Intel Arc is still a somewhat mysterious GPU, so just how powerful it is remains unknown. Regardless, it should give you a much better experience than integrated graphics, and it’s nice to have the option.

Sounds like the Arc can be added, not sure its default

So it comes with win 11?

GPU-Z should see it - https://www.techpowerup.com/gpuz/

If it does have one, it has a Arc 350M - https://tech4gamers.com/samsung-book-pro-2-benchmarks-intel-arc/

The Arc 3 GPUs (aka the A350M and A370M) are the least powerful GPUs in the Intel Arc lineup. Despite that, they're designed to deliver 1080p gaming at 60 to 90 frames per second. Though 1080p can feel pretty pedestrian for many PC game enthusiasts, the promised framerates are potentially impressive for a laptop.

The A350M and A370M both have 4GB of DDR6 RAM, with the former featuring 6 Xe cores and 6 raytracing units and the latter containing 8 of each. These "Xe cores" are, on a very basic level, compute units optimized for gaming and content creation.

Intel says the A350M draws between 25 and 35 watts of power and has a graphics clock of 1,150MHz

Mine here in Europe came with Intel Iris not Arc graphics.
