Although the game has not yet been polished, Intel has been eager to push Arc graphics into the professional workstation space, announcing a new Arc Pro series of professional cards. SIGGRAPH 2022 graphics conference, Intel first demonstrated the performance of Arc graphics cards professional rendering, but with not Arc Pro, but the flagship gaming card Arc A770.
The test platform is also rather strange, a NUC 11 Extreme mini machine based on the 11th generation Core, while the new generation of NUC 12 Extreme is expected to be directly pre-installed with Arc graphics cards.
The first three professional graphics cards released by Intel are the desktop version A50, A40 and mobile version A30M, all based on a small core with 8 Xe cores (128 execution units), 8 optical chase units and a core benchmark frequency of 2.0GHz. The first two are complete with 96-bit 6GB GDDR6 memory, while the latter is 64-bit 4GB GDDR6.
Power consumption varies, A50 75W, single fan dual slot. A40 50W, single fan single slot. A30M 35-50W, customized by customer.
