Intel® Arc™ Pro A40 Graphics - Professional Graphics Begins Here

Introducing the latest professional workstation GPU from Intel: the Intel Arc Pro A40 GPU. With built-in ray tracing hardware, graphics acceleration, and machine learning capabilities, the Intel Arc Pro A40 GPU unites fluid viewports, the latest in visual technologies, and rich content creation in a tiny form factor.

Say Hello to Pro GPU Choice

For many professional users, Intel equates to years of extensive trust and outstanding reliability, and this latest range of professional graphics continues to build on that. You may have been using Intel® integrated graphics for years, which makes moving to more powerful, dedicated graphics from Intel a clear choice. You may think it’s only a new range of GPUs, but to us, it’s bringing competition and innovation back to your favourite software tools.

Intel Professionalism Inside

Everything about this graphics card shouts professional. Built with premium components—and to meet the expectations of our demanding premium workstation partners—this graphics card is manufactured using techniques inspired by aeroplane fuselage fabrication. These techniques include a robust sheet-metal aluminium shroud, aluminium base plate, and dense 25x blade thermally-efficient high-speed axial fan that exhausts hot air from the card’s elegant vents and main system. All these features help ensure that the card, your system, and your software can run smoothly.

Expertly Verified Software

Intel has worked hand-in-hand with hundreds of software companies over the years, and this unmatched experience goes into our professional Intel Arc Pro A-series graphics cards. Certifications and software workflow qualifications are as important to us as they are to you.

Ray Tracing Without the Premium

Graphics cards need to do more than push pixels to displays; they also need to accelerate the creation of beautiful, compute-intensive imagery. Ray-tracing hardware technology built into Intel Arc Pro A-series graphics allows your compatible software to explore these new pro workflows without the cost premium. Ray tracing is typically considered only available on expensive GPUs, but our latest graphics cards change this expectation.

More Large Displays with One Tiny Card

Despite the condensed forms, the latest Intel Arc Pro A-series GPUs support more monitors than the competitive equivalents. The Intel Arc Pro A40 GPU supports up to four ultra-large displays to enhance your workflow efficiencies, doubling the amount on select competitive GPUs available today.*2 Add high dynamic range (HDR) and audio support, too, and you have all you need for that next social-media-worthy home or office multi-display setup.

More Memory Than the Others

The demands that professional software places on graphics cards continue to increase with each new software release. To combat this, we added 50%*3 more memory than similar offerings from the competition. More memory allows you to take on more significant video projects, tackle larger assembles, develop models and buildings, and work on detailed 4K imagery.

We help you achieve your large project vision by including more high-speed memory.

Full Memory Bandwidth Potential

The bandwidth of your graphics card is an essential consideration in a workstation. If you get it wrong, you can slow down professional workflows, which is why we ensured the Intel Arc Pro A40 GPU supports modern PCIe 4.0 x8 systems without penalising backward compatibility. Graphics memory is further enhanced by a competitively high bandwidth speed, allowing project data to be accessed by your software even faster.

Full AV1 Support

Full AV1 hardware acceleration. Get 4.4x faster hardware encoding with Intel Arc graphics compared to software encoding.*4

Accelerating Your AI Workflows

This GPU range features a wide selection of great technology, including support for your compatible AI tools with built-in dedicated AI acceleration where you need it.

Compatible with Your Viewports

Professional software can use varying viewport API languages, so we optimise our graphics for various technologies. Working with long-established manufacturers, we aim to squeeze as much performance as possible from the cards while not disadvantaging overall stability.

The latest standard from Microsoft for high-resolution textures and ray tracing (DXR) improves visuals within the viewport and real-time software.

An API for Heterogeneous Computing (systems with more than one kind of processor or cores).

A cross-vendor, cross-platform API for 3D graphics and compute, Vulkan offers advanced features such as ray tracing support.
