Intel Arc Pro A60 Graphics Card Spotted With 16 Xe Cores In Benchmark Database
It's somewhat ironic that in the graphics card market, "Pro" often indicates a relatively less-capable GPU at any given price point. Indeed, the extant Arc Pro GPUs are based on the small ACM-G11 Alchemist GPU used in the A380 and lower-end parts, not the ACM-G10 that powers the Arc A7xx-series cards. So saying, they aren't performance monsters, but that's not why you would buy one in the first place, of course.
Given that the existence of ACM-G12 isn't actually confirmed outside of leaks and rumors, we're inclined to think that these could alternatively be made from cut-down ACM-G10s. However, rumors did put the ACM-G12 as a later release, and we're expecting an Alchemist refresh of sorts in the latter half of this year.
That's exactly what we'd expect considering the specifications—the A60 is exactly twice the size of the A50, at least in terms of compute resources. We don't know about the memory configuration, but we expect it is at least 8GB on a 128-bit memory bus, if not wider.
