Intel Arc A550M: specs and benchmarks
- Interface PCIe 4.0 x16
- Core clock speed 900
- Max video memory 8 GB
- Memory type GDDR6
- Memory clock speed 14000
- Maximum resolution
Summary
Intel started Arc A550M sales 30 March 2022. This is a laptop graphics card based on a Xe HPG architecture and made with 6 nm manufacturing process. It is primarily aimed at gamers. 8 GB of GDDR6 memory clocked at 14 GHz are supplied, and together with 128 Bit memory interface this creates a bandwidth of 192.0 GB/s.
Compatibility-wise, this is card attached via PCIe 4.0 x16 interface. Power consumption is at 80 Watt (60 - 80 Watt TGP).
