Intel’s ARC Alchemist GPU-based graphics playing cards are lastly forming up form as specs of the ARC A380 variant have been revealed.
Intel ARC A380 Graphics Card With Alchemist 128 EU GPU To Function Up To 2.45 GHz Clocks, 6 GB GDDR6 Reminiscence & GTX 1650 Tremendous Efficiency
In a tweet by TUM_APISAK, the specs and naming conference of Intel’s ARC Alchemist GPU-based graphics card lineup have been revealed. It appears to be like like Intel’s ARC lineup will make the most of the A*** collection branding as beforehand reported. The numbering scheme identifies the efficiency tier of every particular graphics card.

So coming to the specs, the Intel ARC A380 graphics card will characteristic an Alchemist (Xe-HPG DG2) GPU with 128 Execution Items or 1024 ALUs, packaged inside 8 Xe cores. The highest GPU SKU will include 512 Execution Items or 4096 ALUs, packaged inside 32 Xe cores. This particular DG2 SKU goes to see a lot of variants however the 8 Xe core die is the highest half. The GPU is fabricated on the TSMC 6nm course of node and helps some actually excessive clock speeds of two.45 GHz. It isn’t reported if that is the common enhance or max clock however it positively comes near the sport frequencies of the AMD Navi 22 and Navi 23 GPUs.
The Intel ARC A380 graphics card will even characteristic 6 GB of GDDR6 reminiscence. The bus interface just isn’t talked about however it’s prone to be 96-bit as urged in a leak final month. Since that is likely the desktop variant, we’re going to see 16 Gbps pin speeds which can ship as much as 192 GB/s complete bandwidth whereas the laptop computer variants will include 14 Gbps pin speeds for 168 GB/s of bandwidth. The A380 graphics card will characteristic a TDP of 75W and it’s probably that we can’t see any exterior pins for energy however there’s additionally the likelihood that Intel and its companions attempt to squeeze in additional energy within the card for larger clocks and better efficiency.
Intel Xe-HPG Based mostly Discrete Alchemist GPU Configurations:
| GPU Variant | Graphics Card Variant | GPU Die | Execution Items | Shading Items (Cores) | Reminiscence Capability | Reminiscence Bus | TGP |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Xe-HPG 512EU | ARC A780? | Alchemist-512EU | 512 EUs | 4096 | 16/8 GB GDDR6 | 256-bit | 225-275W? |
| Xe-HPG 384EU | ARC A750? | Alchemist-512EU | 384 EUs | 3072 | 12/6 GB GDDR6 | 192-bit | 225-275W? |
| Xe-HPG 256EU | ARC A580? | Alchemist-512EU | 256 EUs | 2048 | 8/4 GB GDDR6 | 128-bit | 150-200W? |
| Xe-HPG 192EU | ARC A550? | Alchemist-512EU | 192 EUs | 1536 | 4 GB GDDR6 | 128-bit | 150-200W? |
| Xe-HPG 128EU | ARC A380? | Alchemist-128EU | 128 EUs | 1024 | 8/6/4 GB GDDR6 | 96/64-bit | 50-75W? |
| Xe-HPG 96EU | ARC A350? | Alchemist-128EU | 86 EUs | 768 | 8/6/4 GB GDDR6 | 96/64-bit | 50-75W? |
Whereas no efficiency numbers are supplied, the Intel ARC A380 Alchemist graphics card is claimed to be on par with the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 SUPER. Provided that the cardboard continues to be months away from launch, there are nonetheless a number of driver-side optimizations wanted to be made earlier than the GPUs head to retail. So we are able to see higher efficiency in the long run. The Intel ARC Alchemist GPUs will even characteristic ray-tracing and XeSS characteristic set, one thing that the present lineup of entry-level playing cards from AMD & NVIDIA (RX 5000 / GTX 16 Sequence) lack. There is not any phrase on pricing however given the specs of this card, we are able to anticipate an MSRP of round $200-$250 US.
