Two Arc Pro GPUs extend Intel’s professional GPU range
The Intel Arc Pro A60 and Pro A60M are the latest members of the Intel Arc Pro A-series professional range of graphics processing units (GPUs). They are designed for professional workstations users with up to 12Gbyte of video memory (VRAM) and support for four displays with high dynamic range (HDR) and Dolby Vision support.
The Intel Arc Pro GPU has built-in ray tracing hardware, graphics acceleration and machine learning capabilities to combine visual technologies and rich content creation in a traditional single slot factor.
The Intel Arc Pro A60 and A60M offer 16 PCIe lanes – twice the number available in existing Intel Arc Pro products. They also have double the memory bandwidth at 384Gbytes per second, twice the dedicated AI Xe Matrix Extensions (XMX) engines with 256, and twice the number of ray tracing units (16). They also feature full media encode and decode support, including AV.
The latest Intel Arc Pro GPUs are equipped for computer aided design and modelling (CAD/CAM), AI inferencing tasks and media processing in dedicated business environments, advised Intel.
The Intel Arc Pro GPUs are backed by quarterly driver releases for regular performance optimisations and ISV-certified by leading workstation applications used within the architecture, engineering and construction, and design and manufacturing industries, such as Autodesk 3ds Max, Autodesk AutoCAD, Autodesk Fusion 360, Autodesk Inventor, Autodesk Maya, Bentley MicroStation, Dassault Systèmes, Solidworks, Nemetscheck VectorWorks, PTC Creo, Siemens NX and Siemens Solid Edge.
Intel’s workstation GPUs are also optimised for media and entertainment applications, for example, Blender, and run rendering and ray tracing libraries in the Intel oneAPI rendering toolkit.
The Intel Arc Pro A60 GPU for workstation desktops will be available from Intel authorised distributors in the coming weeks, while the Intel Arc Pro A60M GPU for mobile systems will be available from original equipment manufacturers (OEM) partners in the coming months.
Additional workstation designs featuring the Intel Arc Pro A40 GPU are now available from HP, with Dell and Lenovo anticipated to follow in Q3 2023.
The Intel Arc Pro GPU family is also validated for use with Intel NUC 13 Extreme small form factor PCs, which offer 125W unlocked 13th Gen Intel Core processors.
Intel Arc Pro desktop products are supplied with a three-year limited warranty.
