Intel unveils the new Arc Pro A-series of GPUs today. The company designed this series for powerful desktop workstations and laptops. They are not available for gamers. The Intel Arc Pro A40 and A50 will both be available for professional computers. The Moble GPU A30M will be focused on pro laptops. Here are the details.
Intel Arc Pro A-Series comes for pro apps
All the GPUs of Arc Pro A-Series focus on hardware-based ray tracing and AV1 hardware acceleration. Intel designed them with AI tasks and for the creator apps like Adobe Premiere Pro. These Pro GPUs appeal to the professionals, unlike standard Intel Arc A-Series.
Intel says, “Intel Arc Pro A-series graphics are targeting certifications with leading professional software applications within the architecture, engineering and construction (AEC), and design and manufacturing (D&M) industries.
The company also adds, “Intel Arc Pro GPUs are also optimized for media and entertainment (M&E) applications such as Blender and run the open source libraries in the Intel oneAPI Rendering Toolkit, which are widely adopted and integrated with industry-leading rendering tools.”
Intel Arc Pro A-Series specifications
The Intel Arc Pro A40 will come in a small single-slot form factor with 3.5 teraflops of graphical power, eight ray-tracing cores, and 6GB of GDDR6 memory. Intel’s aim with this GPU is to get a place at slimline workstations or small form factor PCs.
The bigger one Arc Pro A50 comes with a dual-slot form factor, 4.8 teraflops of graphical power, eight ray-tracing cores, and 6GB of GDDR6 memory. This GPU will be more suitable for traditional workstations thanks to its dual-slot design. Both of these GPUs include four Mini DisplayPorts for multiple monitor configurations. Additionally, Intel supports two monitors at 8K 60Hz, one at 5K 240Hz, two at 5K 120Hz, or four at 4K 60Hz.
The Mobile A30M GPU will have 3.5 teraflops of graphical performance, eight ray-tracing cores, and 4GB of GDDR6 memory. The company designed it to use between 35 and 50 watts of peak power. The display outputs will depend on laptop’s options from OEMs.
