Failing to distribute its graphics cards for individuals, Intel is making a new announcement, aimed at professionals, therefore.
Regularly associated with video games, the Arc Alchemist range is thus not exclusively devoted to this activity. Intel today lifts the veil on another of its uses by presenting cards for workstations.
Pro A40 and Pro 50: two “desktop” cards
Intel has unveiled two “classic” cards. The Arc Pro A50 is designed around the ACM-G11 GPU in its version with 8 Xe-Core cores. The GPU thus has 128 execution units and 1,024 ALUs.

On the Arc Pro A50, the GPU is initially clocked at 2 GHz, and there is talk of a TDP of 75 W, while the whole thing is supported by 6 GB of GDDR6 at 16 Gbps on a 192 GB/s bus.

With similar specifications, the Arc Pro A40 appears above all as a slightly “light” version. While the GPU looks identical, it does have a TDP limit of 50W, which reduces its computing power.
The Pro A30M to touch laptops
These two desktop cards are complemented by a model for laptops. Called Arc A30M, this card is based on the same basis, but there is even more talk of reducing the specifications.
If we are still talking about 8 Xe-Core cores, it is only a question of a maximum TDP of 35 W. In the same way, the onboard memory is limited to 4 GB with a 128 GB/s interface. .
While the availability of the Arc line is unclear, Intel was not more specific in announcing that the Arc Pro will be available ” later in the year “. On the occasion of SIGGRAPH, which is held until August 11 in the city of Vancouver, Intel is organizing demos to present the capabilities of its cards in design, industry, construction, etc.
