New Intel Arc Pro GPUs appear in benchmark database

Aside from mainstream and gaming graphics cards, Intel is also working on workstation-grade Arc Alchemist GPUs. These graphics cards have not been officially announced, but there is plenty of evidence that they exist, including new entries on benchmark databases specifically unmasking the Intel Arc Pro A40 and Arc Pro A50 GPUs. 

The SiSoftware entries (1/2) spotted by @momomo_us are a bit confusing, as they have the two SKUs listed simultaneously, suggesting they should be similar. There's a chance that the benchmark has some issues detecting the cards' specifications, which would explain the weird results obtained in each entry.

The first entry is from May 31st and lists a GPU with 1024 FP32 cores on 128 EUs clocked at 2.45GHz, suggesting it will feature a fully enabled ACM-G11 GPU. Moreover, it packs 1MB of L2 cache and 6GB of VRAM (GDDR6?), likely paired with a 96-bit memory bus. The second listing is from June 26th and shows what seems to be the same GPU with 1152 FP32 cores on 128 EUs clocked at 2.45GHz, which doesn't make much sense considering each EU should only have 8 FP32 cores instead of 9 (1152/128 = 9).

Intel originally planned to have Arc Alchemist mobile GPUs in laptops at this stage, as well as the first desktop graphics cards over the summer. However, there have been numerous delays, so with that in mind, it could be a while before Intel's workstation GPUs are ready to launch.

KitGuru says: These entries seem to show entry-level workstation GPUs but Intel should have something on the way for those in need of a more high-end graphics card,
