We already know for sure that they exist, at least they exist. After releasing the Intel ARC 350 entry card in China, and leaking the Intel ARC A750 LE, Intel today introduced the new Intel ARC Pro 50, Pro 40 and Pro 30M graphics cards..
Gaming models are not the graphics cards that everyone is expecting. Or we expected them in full swing of cryptocurrencies. Now that NVIDIA RTX prices are plummeting, Intel ARC gaming’s continued delays is causing the indifference of users.
But let’s focus on what he has presented today: two graphics cards and a laptop GPU designed for workstations, and laptops for professionals.
These graphics cards offer ray tracing, graphics acceleration and artificial intelligence to professional environmentsat a more affordable price than the competition, according to Intel.
These are its basic characteristics:
Intel ARC Pro A50 | Intel ARC Pro A40 | Intel ARC Pro A30M | |
---|---|---|---|
Performance | 4.8 TFLOPs | 3.5 TFLOPs | 3.5 TFLOPS |
Memory | 6GB DDR6 | 6GB DDR6 | 4GB DDR6 |
ray tracing | 8 core | 8 core | 8 core |
connectors | 4 x mini DP 1.4 | 4x mini DP 1.4 | Integrated on board |
Consumption | 75W | 50W | 35 – 50W |
Slots | two | 1 | Integrated on board |
The most powerful model is Intel ARC Pro A50 cardwhich reaches 4.8TLOPS. It has 128 EUs, 1024 ALUs, 6 GB of RAM and a speed of 2 GHz. Memory bandwidth is 192 GB/sec.
It’s a card double slot, allowing you to trim its length. It is ideal for use in PCs with a small form factor, with little width.
The model Intel ARC Pro A40 It has the same specifications but lower performance3.5 TFLOPs, and lower consumption, which indicates that it will work at a lower speed. Intel has not provided more data, for the moment. Its lower yield allows it to condense into a card with a single slot.
Finally the GPU Intel ARC Pro A30M is intended for laptops. Surprisingly its performance is similar to that of the Intel ARC Pro A40, 3.5 TFLOPS, but its lower consumption indicates that it will have some kind of cut, almost certainly in speed. And also in memory: it will mount 4 GB of DDR6.
They are graphics cards designed for perform well in graphic design, architecture, engineering applicationsetc.
Unfortunately, Intel has not provided prices. They will arrive at the end of the year.
