Intel Arc A760A to provide e-cars with powerful gaming and AI performance
The brand new Intel Arc A760A has 28 Xe cores based on the Arc Alchemist architecture, just like the Intel Arc A750, and the power consumption is also practically identical, as Intel specifies a TBP of 225 watts, which should result in a nominal computing power of 14 TFLOPs.
Intel combines the GPU with 16 GB GDDR6 graphics memory on a 256-bit interface. As our gaming benchmarks of the Arc A750 show, the performance of the Arc A760A is sufficient for smoothly displaying demanding games such as Dragon's Dogma 2, Avatar Frontiers of Pandora and Cyberpunk 2077 in 1080p at a high level of detail. In fact, Intel explicitly advertises the Arc A760A with the fact that the graphics chip enables triple-A games in the infotainment system.
The Arc A760A can also be combined with Intel's SDV SoC, which already has an integrated GPU, but in conjunction with the Arc A760A, significantly stronger graphics and AI performance should be possible without significantly increasing costs. This modular approach will enable car manufacturers to develop a future-proof platform that can be expanded with a dedicated GPU if required in order upgrade AI systems, for example.
Intel offers Linux-based open-source software (including drivers) so that car manufacturers can adapt it to their needs without limitations. The Arc A760A can power up to four screens and output content in up to 4K resolution. Thanks to support for Vulkan and OpenCL as well as dedicated ray tracing hardware accelerators, more demanding processing tasks should also be possible. The Intel Arc A760A is expected be available from the first quarter of 2025.
