Intel Expands ProViz Offerings with Arc Pro A60, Arc Pro A60M Graphics Cards
Intel this week announced its flagship products targeting the professional visualization market: the Arc Pro A60 12 GB graphics card for desktops and the Arc Pro A60M graphics processor for notebooks. Both workstation units use the company’s ACM-G10 GPU, but neither uses the fully supported version with maximum performance.
Intel’s Arc Pro A60 for desktops and Arc Pro A60M for laptops are the company’s largest discrete GPUs with 16 Xe cores (2048 stream processors), 16 ray tracing units and 256 vector engines. It relies on an ACM-G10, and both graphics solutions only have half the resources of the graphics processor. As far as the memory subsystem is concerned, the desktop graphics board has 12 GB of GDDR6 memory and features a 192-bit interface, while the mobile solution has 8 GB of GDDR6 connected to the GPU using a 128-bit bus. It has memory. The desktop card is rated up to 130 W TGP and uses a single slot cooling system.
Given that both the Arc Pro A60 and Arc Pro A60M rely on the heavily pared down ACM-G10 GPU, computing performance is down when compared to the company’s top-of-the-line Arc A770 and Arc A770M offerings. at least two times lower. However, other Arc Pro series devices use the much less powerful ACM-G11 GPU with fewer Xe cores and ray tracing engines, so these are the workstation-grade graphics offered by Intel. The product is the best performance ever.
Intel positions these graphics solutions for a variety of applications including architecture, computer-aided design, engineering, and manufacturing industries, to name just a few. As such, these boards come with quarterly ISV certified driver releases for regular performance optimization of programs developed by Autodesk, Bentley, Dassault Systèmes, Nemetschek, PTC and Siemens. This is a notable development.
All Arc Pro graphics solutions also feature full-fat media engines that support hardware encoding/decoding of AV1, H.264, H.265, and VP9 streams, and all desktop boards support full resolution It comes with 4 DisplayPort 2.0 outputs with UHBR10 support. Convert to 8Kp60 on DSC.
The Intel Arc Pro A60 graphics card will be available soon through Intel’s official resellers, the company says. Meanwhile, the mobile version of the Intel Arc Pro A60M will be in laptops from popular workstation OEMs in the coming months. indicated by the company.
