Arc Pro A40: specs and benchmarks
Summary
Intel started Arc Pro A40 sales 8 August 2022. This is a desktop graphics card based on a Generation 12.7 architecture and made with 6 nm manufacturing process. It is primarily aimed at gamer market. 6 GB of GDDR6 memory clocked at 16 GB/s are supplied, and together with 96 Bit memory interface this creates a bandwidth of 192.0 GB/s.
Compatibility-wise, this is single-slot card attached via PCIe 4.0 x8 interface. No additional power connector is required, and power consumption is at 50 Watt.
