INTEL Arc A580 is INTEL's reference design graphics card built around the ACM-G10 chip and the Intel Alchemist Xe-HPG (TSMC N6) design. Built for high-performance 1440p and 4K gaming in today's games and apps.
For technical specifications, INTEL Arc A580 uses the ACM-G10 chip made on the TSMC N6 process. The TSMC N6 node allows about 21.7 billion transistors on a 406 mm² die. Along with 3,072 FP32 Cores, the GPU includes 24 Ray Tracing Units and 384 Matrix Cores for enhanced performance. Hardware blocks include 24 Ray Tracing Units for ray tracing and 384 Matrix Cores for AI tasks.
The card includes 8 GB of GDDR6 VRAM for creative work and gaming. Memory connects over a 256-bit interface with 512 GB/s bandwidth. The speed helps maintain performance at high resolutions or with large files.
Intel Alchemist marked the debut of the Xe-HPG architecture with dual-issue vector pipelines in each Compute Unit, doubling shader throughput for mainstream gaming performance. It introduced dedicated Ray Tracing Units that handle bounding-box intersection and traversal in hardware, enabling real-time global illumination and reflections in DXR titles. Xe Matrix Extensions power Intel’s XeSS upscaling, using low-precision AI inferencing to deliver high-resolution quality at twice the frame rate. The architecture supports modern I/O standards—DisplayPort 2.1 UHBR, HDMI 2.1, PCIe 4.0—and features a media engine for hardware AV1 encode and decode. Adaptive power management via per-slice gating and dynamic voltage-frequency scaling optimizes efficiency across diverse workloads.
Monitors connect via 3x DisplayPort 2.0 and 1x HDMI 2.0b. It uses a a PCI-Express interface slot and draws power via 2× 8-pin. A 500 W PSU is recommended.
It first reached retail on October 10th, 2023,, listed at $179 USD / €199 EUR / ¥1599 CNY.
