Intel Arc high-performance graphics cards have already entered the fields of desktops, laptops, workstations, and integrated graphics. And now, it is expanding its presence into the embedded market. The latest Linux graphics kernel code reveals two new Arc products – 0x56BE Arc A750E and 0x56BF Arc A580E. While specific specifications have not been disclosed yet, it’s confirmed that these two products are aimed at the embedded market, catering to industrial control, commercial, signage, edge, and other sectors. As usual, the core parameters of these two products may be similar to Arc A750 and Arc A580, but with lower frequencies and power consumption.

Among them, the Arc A750 is equipped with 28 Xe cores, 28 ray tracing cores, 256-bit 8GB GDDR6 memory, a core frequency of 2050MHz, a memory frequency of 16GHz, and a total power consumption of about 225W. On the other hand, the Arc A580 comes with 24 Xe cores, 24 ray tracing cores, 256-bit 8GB GDDR6 memory, a core frequency of 1700MHz, a memory frequency of 16GHz, and a total power consumption of around 185W.

One of the most anticipated developments is the second generation of the Battlemage series GPUs, which will undergo comprehensive upgrades in architecture and technology. However, Intel does not seem to be in a hurry to upgrade, focusing more on laying a solid foundation, optimizing drivers, and ensuring application compatibility.
