Without much announcement, Intel has now officially made its smallest Alchemist graphics card, the Arc A310 with 6 Xe cores and a total of 768 shader units. This would complete the portfolio of the first generation Intel Xe HPG (“Alchemist”) for the time being, apart from the still missing middle class, the Intel Arc A580 with 16 Xe cores.

Intel Xe HPG (“Alchemist”) is almost complete

After Intel released the official product page with the final specifications of the Arc A310, which are a bit higher than previously assumed, all Alchemist graphics cards for consumer and business customers are now complete, with the exception of the Intel Arc A580.

Contrary to what was previously expected, the Arc A310 has a total of 6 instead of 4 Xe cores, which ultimately results in 768 instead of 512 shader units. In the Alchemist portfolio, the Arc A310 ranks below the Arc A380 (test) as an absolute entry-level solution for consumers:

Three graphics solutions for enterprise customers

The workstation graphics cards from the Arc Pro A series for professional users and companies have already been officially presented with two models. The two graphics cards are based on the Intel Arc A380 and offer 1,024 shader units at 50 and 75 watts of total board power (TBP).

Planning almost complete

Intel's planning for the desktop is (almost) complete for the time being, only the Arc A580 is still a long way off. Spearheading the Alchemist portfolio, the gamer-ready Arc A770 launches October 12 for $329.
