Intel® Arc™ Pro A-Series Graphics
Introducing the professional range of GPUs from Intel®: The Intel® Arc™ Pro A-Series series graphics. With built-in ray tracing hardware, graphics acceleration, and machine learning capabilities, Intel Arc graphics unites fluid viewports, the latest in visual technologies, and rich content creation across mobile and desktop form factors.
Professional Graphics Begins Here
Professional Graphics
Meet the Newest Intel Arc Pro A-Series GPUs for Workstations.
Built-in ray tracing hardware, graphics acceleration, and machine learning capabilities in a tiny, single-slot form factor.
The next step up from the Intel Arc Pro A40 GPU, with more TFLOPs of performance and memory bandwidth, in a slightly larger dual-slot form.
Take the power and capabilities of Intel Arc Pro graphics wherever you go, when professional graphics stability in a mobile workstation form is a must.
Software Certifications
Intel has worked hand-in-hand with hundreds of software companies over the years, and this unmatched experience goes into our Intel Arc Pro A-series graphics cards. Certifications are as important to us as they are to you.
Ray Tracing
Graphics chips need to do more than simply push pixels to displays, they also need to accelerate the creation of beautiful images. Ray tracing hardware technology built into Intel Arc Pro A-series graphics allows your compatible software to start to explore these new pro workflows. Ray tracing is typically thought of as only available on expensive GPUs, but our latest graphics card series breaks that expectation.
Multiple Large Displays with Small Cards
Despite the condensed forms, the latest Intel Arc Pro A-series GPUs bring support for up to four ultra large displays to enhance your workflow efficiencies. Add high dynamic range (HDR) and audio support too and you have all you need for that next social-media-worthy home or office multi-display setup.
Pro Resolutions Supported
Our discrete GPUs support Ultra High Definition (UHD) and ultrawide UHD display resolutions (with HDR enabled). Although laptop specific, our mobile card can also support the same resolutions.
Ultra High-Definition 60 Hz
7680x4320
Ultrawide High-Definition 240 Hz
5120x1440
Ultra High-Definition 120 Hz
5120x2880
Ultra High-Definition 60Hz
3820x2160
Modern Viewport Technology Support
Professional software can use varying viewport API languages, which is why we optimize our graphics for a range of technologies. Working with long-established partners we aim to squeeze as much performance as possible out of the cards, but never at the disadvantage of overall stability.
The latest standard from Microsoft for high-resolution textures and ray tracing (DXR), improving visuals within the viewport and real-time software.
An API for Heterogeneous Computing (systems with more than one kind of processor or cores).
A cross-vendor, cross-platform API for 3D graphics and compute, Vulkan offers support for advanced features such as ray tracing.
Even with Support for Dolby Vision
With dedicated hardware decoding on the Pro GPUs, Dolby Vision® helps to add greater depth, sharper contrast, and more colors to your compatible display. Dolby Vision unlocks the full potential of HDR technology by dynamically optimizing the image quality based on your service, display device, and platform to deliver stunning visuals every time.
All 8x Bandwidth. No Fast Lanes Cut
The bandwidth of your workstation graphics card is an important consideration. Get it wrong and you can slow down professional workflows. Which is why we made sure that the Intel Arc Pro A-series GPU has support for modern PCIe 4.0 x8 systems, but also does not penalize backwards compatibility. A competitively high bandwidth speed further enhances graphics memory, meaning project data can be accessed by your software even faster.
An Industry First
Full AV1 Hardware Acceleration. 4.4x faster hardware encoding with Intel Arc Graphics compared to software encoding.1
Making AI Attainable
This GPU range includes a wide selection of great technology, including support for your compatible AI tools with built-in dedicated AI acceleration where you need it.

Additional Features and Technologies
There’s more to a professional workstation GPU than the hardware. Meet some of the Intel® Deep Link innovations that you can get access to:
Hyper Compute
Enables multi-engine content creation by harnessing the combined power of Intel® CPUs and GPUs to unleash even greater performance. Hyper Compute uses all available compute engines or AI accelerators on the Intel® CPU and GPU platform for tasks such as Machine Learning services during image processing.
Dynamic Power Share
Intelligently routes power between the laptop CPU and GPU enabling a performance boost for your task. A unified power envelope governed by a smart algorithm allocates power between your Intel® Core™ processor and your Intel Arc graphics—whichever needs it most.
Hyper Encode
Helps you spend less time waiting for your project to export. Hyper encode is made possible by the multiple media engines found on the Intel® Core™ processor and Intel Arc graphics working in conjunction inside your laptop or desktop system.
A History of Innovation
Intel has helped developed a range of industry innovations that you may now take for granted in your workflow.
USB
In 1994, Intel developed the first internal draft of the Universal Serial Bus (USB) specification. Two years later, USB was officially launched as the “plug and play” standard, making it easier for users to add peripherals to their PCs.
Thunderbolt™
In 2011, Intel introduced the first generation of Thunderbolt™ technology. Developed through a special partnership with Apple, the Thunderbolt interface allowed for high-speed data transfer and high-definition displays via a single cable, paving the way for devices that were smaller, sleeker, and simpler to connect to peripherals.
Hyper-Threading
In 2002, Intel released Intel® Hyper-Threading Technology featured in the latest version of the Pentium® 4 processor. Hyper-threading enabled multiple threads of information to run simultaneously on one processor. The technology boosted Pentium 4's performance by up to 25 percent.
A History of Responsibility
Intel has long understood that a better world starts within, and better products are built when everyone feels welcomed and the materials used don’t negatively affect the world or people around us.
Diversity & Inclusion
In 2011, Intel launched multiple initiatives to improve its development and retention of a diverse workforce. The company understood that by providing a work environment including a wide variety of voices, it would be better able to serve its wide variety of customers. Programs included a leadership development series focused on Black and Latinx employees and a female mentorship program to foster relationships between Intel's most senior women executives and lower-level female employees.
Halogen Free2
In 2008, Intel launched its first four halogen-free Intel® Xeon® processors, signaling another step in Intel's march toward minimizing the environmental footprint of its products. The chips reached new heights in performance and energy efficiency even as they did so more sustainably. Intel continues to expand our efforts in eco-innovation, while delivering performance.
Conflict Free3
In 2014, Intel became the first U.S. tech firm to announce that all of its microprocessors were manufactured without the use of tantalum, tin, tungsten, or gold within the Covered Countries (Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) or adjoining countries) from mines under the control of armed groups who exploit mine workers to fund crimes against humanity. More recently, we have expanded our efforts to pursue responsible sourcing of all minerals used in our products, regardless of country of origin.

Product and Performance Information
Based on the fact Intel Arc graphics are the first in the market to be able to have AV1 encoding support (as of Q1 2022) while simultaneously supporting all other major codecs, inclusion of AI accelerators on board, Ray tracing cores, vector engines, as well as Direct X12 Ultimate support.
Halogen Free: Applies only to brominated and chlorinated flame retardants (BFRs/CFRs) and PVC in the final product. Intel components as well as purchased components on the finished assembly meet JS-709A requirements, and the PCB/Substrate meet IEC 61249-2-21 requirements. The replacement of halogenated flame retardants and/or PVC may not be better for the environment.
Conflict Free: “Conflict-free" refers to products, suppliers, supply chains, smelters, and refiners that, based on our due diligence, do not contain or source tantalum, tin, tungsten or gold (referred to as “conflict minerals" by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission) that directly or indirectly finance or benefit armed groups in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or adjoining countries.
