Intel bereitet Arc vor “Alchimist” A310 Einstiegs-GPU, um die Leistung auf RX 6400-Niveau zu erreichen

With its desktop graphics card lineup still elusive, the company is planning a new entry-level SKU positioned below the Arc A380 and A350M. Called A310, this chip will be based on a heavily cut-down version of the DG2-128 (ACM-G11) Silizium, and offer performance levels somewhere between the Iris Xe MAX (DG1) desktop discrete GPU, and the A350M, with the design goal being to compete with AMD’s Radeon RX 6400 and NVIDIA’s GTX 1650 in the entry-level space.

At this point the core configuration of the A310 is not known. It is speculated to feature 64 zu 96 Ausführungseinheiten (EU) out of the 128 present on the ACM-G11 silicon. 4 GB GDDR6-Speicher über einen 64-Bit breiten Speicherbus, could remain standard fare for this card. All of the media-acceleration features of “Alchimist” could be featured, including AV1 decode and encode. The A310 could make for a good combo with future Intel workstation or HEDT platforms with non-gaming visual requirements.The ACM-G11 is built on the 6 nm Silizium-Herstellungsprozess, and so the A310 could come with a low power footprint that doesn’t need additional power connectors.
