As part of the currently held Siggraph event, Intel presented new graphics cards that run outside of the regular Arc Alchemist series. The A40, A50 and A30M are new GPUs from the Intel Arc Pro series. The first two are for desktop applications while the latter is intended for laptops.

Intel is still busy releasing its first Arc Alchemist graphics cards outside of China. Now, the chip company announced new graphics cards during Siggraph 2022, which will be held from August 8th to 11th. These aren’t part of the regular Arc lineup, but instead cater to the Pro series of Intel’s Alchemist GPUs.
