The ARC GPUs rely heavily on the Resizable BAR (ReBAR) feature, which is only available in 10th generation and newer Intel Core processors and 'select' AMD Ryzen 3000 and newer processors. That said, there have been indications that older processors can be used, but there will then be performance issues. For more information, consult this article: Guru3D: Intel ARC to require at Least Core 10 or Ryzen 3000 CPU; otherwise performance issues.

Hope this helps,
