Intel launches Arc Pro A-series GPUs for laptops and desktops

Intel's GPU rollout continues this week with the launch of the Arc Pro A-series. There are three SKUs to begin with – Intel Arc Pro A40 and A50 desktop graphics cards, and an Arc Pro A30M GPU for laptops. 

The A40 sports a single-slot design and has just a 50W TDP, while the A50 is a dual-slot GPU with a 75W TDP. Both were designed for SFF PCs and feature built-in ray tracing hardware, ML capabilities and AV1 hardware encoding acceleration, which is an industry first. The Arc Pro A30M packs the same feature set as the desktop variants, but it is aimed at mobile platforms.

The three Arc Pro A-series GPUs are detailed in the following table:

GPU	Peak Performance	Xe-core	Memory	Display Outputs	TDP
Intel Arc Pro A40 GPU	3.5 TFLOPs	8x Ray Trace Cores	6GB GDDR6	4x mini-DP 1.4 with Audio Support	50W
Intel Arc Pro A50 GPU	4.8 TFLOPs	8x Ray Trace Cores	6GB GDDR6	4x mini-DP 1.4 with Audio Support	75W
Intel Arc Pro A30M GPU (Mobile)	3.5 TFLOPs	8x Ray Trace Cores	4GB GDDR6	Support for up to 4x displays	35-50W

Intel stated it would make these GPUs available later this year for mobile and desktop ecosystem partners. Discuss on our Facebook page, HERE.

KitGuru says: Intel will be at SIGGRAPH 2022 this week, so we may see a bit more about these GPUs over the next few days.
