Intel is preparing a new desktop Arc graphics card with only 16 sets of Xe cores

At present, Intel's Alchemist Alchemist architecture only has two GPUs ACM-G10 and ACM-G11, the former has 32 sets of Xe cores, and the latter has only 8 groups, this huge difference in specifications has led to a huge gap in specifications between A580 and A380 graphics cards, Arc A580 has not yet been officially launched has 24 sets of Xe cores, but A380 only has 8 groups of Xe cores, in fact, there is an A550M with 16 sets of Xe cores in the mobile market. But this product is also based on the ACM-G10 GPU.

Now CompuBench database has appeared in an Intel graphics card with 256 groups of EU, that is, 16 Xe cores, this graphics card uses a beta version of the driver, should be Intel's internal test card, GPU frequency is 2400 ~ 2450MHz, from the frequency point of view this card is not A550M, but an unreleased desktop graphics card.

In fact, a few weeks ago, it was reported that Intel will launch a new mainstream Arc A series desktop graphics card in the first quarter of 2023, in addition to the previously announced A580, Intel may still be preparing the desktop version of the A550, and there is news that Intel is developing a third Alchemist architecture GPU called ACM-G12, which happens to have 16 sets of Xe cores, which is very suitable for the new card exposed this time.

This may be the A550 graphics card, its GPU specifications are only half of the A770, but in the CompuBench its performance is about 42% slower than the A770, but this test is based on OpenCL, so the reference value for gamers is not very large.
