Unknown Intel Arc GPU with 16 Xe-cores revealed in benchmark listing

Up to now, the only known Intel Arc GPU with 16 Xe-cores is the A550M for laptops. However, a new and unknown Intel Arc GPU packing the same number of Xe-cores has now been spotted, but unlike the A550M, the high clock speeds suggest it's a desktop card.

The card spotted on CompuBench by Komachi_Ensaka shows an Intel Arc GPU using a test driver (9999). The listing shows the GPU packs 256 Compute Units (16 Xe-cores) and has a clock speed varying between 2400Hz and 2450MHz.

Based on the specs alone, we can assume a few things. First, this is likely a desktop graphics card, as the clock speeds are too high for a mobile GPU. With 16 Xe-cores, this card would fit perfectly between the A380 (8 Xe-cores) and the A580 (24 Xe-cores). Moreover, it matches the specs for the rumoured Intel ACM-G12 GPU, which will allegedly feature 16 Xe-cores.

As a benchmark, CompuBench isn't particularly good at measuring gaming performance. Still, it allows us to compare with other GPUs. For example, compared to the Intel Arc A770, the unnamed Arc GPU is 42% slower.

KitGuru says: With AMD and Nvidia preparing to launch the next generation of mid-range GPUs, Intel will face some tough competition.
