Today, Intel introduced the Intel Arc Pro A60 and Pro A60M as new members of the Intel Arc Pro A-series professional range of graphics processing units (GPUs). The new products are a significant step up in performance in the Intel Arc Pro family and are carefully designed for professional workstations users with up to 12 GB of video memory (VRAM) and support for four displays with high dynamic range (HDR) and Dolby Vision support.

With built-in ray tracing hardware, graphics acceleration and machine learning capabilities, the Intel Arc Pro A60 GPU unites fluid viewports, the latest in visual technologies and rich content creation in a traditional single slot factor.




Why It Matters: Intel Arc Pro A-series graphics offer a new option to the workstation GPU space. Compared to existing Intel Arc Pro products, the Intel Arc Pro A60 and A60M offer double the number of PCIe lanes with 16, twice the memory bandwidth at 384 gigabytes per second, twice the dedicated AI Xe Matrix Extensions (XMX) engines with 256, and twice the number of ray tracing units with 16. They also feature full media encode and decode support, including AV1. These make Intel Arc Pro GPUs ideal for computer-aided design and modeling (CAD/CAM), AI inferencing tasks and media processing in dedicated business environments.

Intel Arc Pro GPUs are backed by quarterly driver releases for regular performance optimizations 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
  • Siemens Solid Edge

Intel's workstation GPUs are also optimized for media and entertainment applications like Blender and run rendering and ray tracing libraries in the Intel oneAPI Rendering Toolkit to enable the creation of high-performance, high-fidelity visual experiences at scale.

About Availability: The Intel Arc Pro A60 GPU for workstation desktops will be available from Intel authorized 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 2023's third quarter.

The Intel Arc Pro GPU family is also validated for use with Intel NUC 13 Extreme small form factor (SFF) PCs, which offer 125W unlocked 13th Gen Intel Core processors.

Intel Arc Pro desktop products come with a three-year limited warranty.

Which earlier ones? You don't mean their dgpu gaming ones? Cause they improved so much that I think even AMD has a thing or two to learn.

Smexy! Reminfs me of Galaxy GTX 460 Razor, single-slot goodiness. Listed are mainly CAD programs, does it accelerate Adobe AfterEffects rendering? I mean does it make sense for content creators too?

Pointless card if it's not supported in adobe suite.
ARC A770 is not currently supported for decoding and effects acceleration in Adobe premiere pro, basically without an AMD or Nvidia card you can't comfortably edit.
I don't understand what's the deal with Intel, do they want to properly enter the GPU market or not ?
