With two new additions, Intel has expanded the corporate’s discrete cell Arc Alchemist lineup. Whereas Arc A570M and A530M are unlikely to rival one of the best graphics playing cards, we’ll nonetheless see the Arc A-series duo inside many upcoming gaming laptops.
Intel launched nearly all of its cell Arc Alchemist graphics playing cards final yr. The introduced fashions embrace the A770M, A730M, A550M, A370M, and A350M. The chipmaker has determined to flesh out the remaining Arc A500M sequence with the Arc A570M and A530M, which additionally use the PCIe 4.0 x8 interface. As standard, Intel did not make a giant deal out of the launch.
Intel did not specify the silicon contained in the Arc A570M or A530M. Nonetheless, they most likely use the identical ACM-G10 (DG2-512) silicon because the Arc A550M. The ACM-G10 die, a product of TSMC’s 6nm course of node, measures 406 mm² and homes 21.7 billion transistors. It is larger than Nvidia’s GA104 die, or AMD’s Navi 22 die. ACM-G10, based mostly on the Xe HPG microarchitecture, is a versatile choice that Intel makes use of for a lot of of its Arc Alchemist SKUs, together with the desktop flagship Arc A770.
The Arc A570M options 16 Xe cores, equal to 256 execution items, so it is an similar configuration to the Arc A550M. It has an identical variety of XMX Engines and Xe Vector Engines. The Arc A570M has 16 ray tracing items as nicely. Labeled with a TGP between 75W and 95W, the Arc A570M arrives with a 1,300 MHz clock velocity. It is a higher-clocked Arc A550M.

In the meantime, the Arc A530M has an extra cut-down ACM-G10 silicon with solely 12 Xe cores, 4 lower than the Arc A550M. The configuration accounts for 192 execution items, XMX Engines, and Xe Vector Engines. Intel specced the Arc A530M with a TGP between 65W and 95W with the identical clock velocity because the Arc A570M.
Intel did not expose the reminiscence configurations for the Arc A570M or A530M. The Arc A550M options 6GB of GDDR6 reminiscence at 14 Gbps. Restricted by a 128-bit reminiscence interface, the Arc A550M delivers 224 GB/s of reminiscence bandwidth. Subsequently, the Arc A570M ought to flaunt a better reminiscence bandwidth, whereas the Arc A530M will seemingly provide much less. The precise quantity stays a thriller till Intel updates the product pages.
When Intel first unveiled the cell Arc A-series, solely 5 SKUs have been on the roadmap: Arc A350M, A370M, A550M, A730M, and A770M. The chipmaker has since added the Arc A530M and A570M. It is unknown when that is the final we have seen of cell Alchemist. There’s nonetheless room for 2 extra fashions: the Arc A330M or A750M. However with Battlemage reportedly launching subsequent yr, Intel could also be higher off specializing in the next-generation graphics card until there’s plenty of residue Alchemist silicon that the chipmaker must dump.
