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.
