At the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) SIGGRAPH 2022 conference beginning Monday, August 8, Intel will showcase its upcoming workstation GPUs based on ACM graphics processors (“Alchemist ”) and demonstrate their AI feature set and ray tracing capabilities.
Intel Arc Pro will debut on August 9
At SIGGRAPH 2022, an annual four-day conference of the ACM topic group dedicated to computer graphics, taking place from August 8th to 11th, the manufacturer will present the Core-i Series, Xeon and solutions for the data center will also be demonstrating products from the Intel Arc Pro Graphics series with Intel XeSS for the first time.
Intel will be showing Intel® Arc™ Pro Graphics Workstation GPUs running live for the first time publicly.
Intel
For its showcase at SIGGRAPH 2022, the for scheduled for August 9th, Intel has set the following program items. The demos will run for the first time on a workstation GPU from the Arc Pro Graphics series.
