I know it is going to be contradictory to say that Workstation is not necessarily or entirely for gaming, but as Intel is trying to take some new air (again) on graphical processing with the Arc brand, professionals and studios will also get some love.
Intel announced this week the release of more Arc GPU, but instead for gamers, this one is aimed at professionals as the Arc Pro Series.
The Arc Pro Series includes the Arc Pro A40 and A50 aimed for custom Desktop and the Arc Pro A30 will be aimed for high-end Laptops.
The Intel Arc Pro A40 will ship in a small single-slot form factor with 3.5 teraflops of graphical power, eight ray-tracing cores, and 6GB of GDDR6 memory. Intel is targeting this GPU at slimline workstations or small form factor PCs.
Meanwhile, the Arc Pro A50 steps up to a dual-slot form factor, 4.8 teraflops of graphical power, eight ray-tracing cores, and 6GB of GDDR6 memory and this one is for the bi ones.
For the A50, Intel claims that Intel can support two monitors at 8K 60Hz, one at 5K 240Hz, two at 5K 120Hz, or four at 4K 60Hz.
Finally the Arc Pro A30 will include 3.5 teraflops of graphical performance, eight ray-tracing cores, and 4GB of GDDR6 memory. It’s designed to use between 35 and 50 watts of peak power and with this, Intel expects OEMs can get original with the type of display that they want to aim for.
AGAIN, if gaming is the ONLY PURPOSE of your next computer, THIS AIN'T SUPPOSED TO BE INCLUDED IN YOUR WISHLIST as Intel specifically said that this GPU are for video produces, or high computing purposes that use the computing power of the GPU along with the CPU and only-gaming performance is below comparing their other Arc offering.
Intel said that the Arc Pro GPUs are optimized to get the finest content out of Blender, HandBrake, Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve Studio, and many more, with support of DirectXII, OpenCL and Vulkan.
The Intel Arc Pro will be available this year but no exact date or individual prices were shared.
