Intel launched its first generation of in-vehicle discrete graphics cards

On August 8, 2024, Intel released its brand's first in-vehicle discrete graphics card - the Arc 760 - in Shenzhen, China. This graphics card's platform computing power reaches 229 TOPS and will empower automakers to create a better cabin experience to meet the demands of more displays, higher display resolutions, and more AI interaction experiences in automotive cabins. The core features of the Intel Arc 760-A are as follows:

Automotive software and optimized drivers: Based on the open-source Linux automotive operating system, supporting graphics drivers for discrete and integrated graphics cards;

Intel GPU Single Root I/O Virtualization (SR-IOV) advantage: Provides up to 40% performance improvement in virtual machine environments, enhancing security, isolation, and robustness (actual performance is affected by usage, configuration, and other factors);

A large model (LLM) architecture specifically designed for the automotive industry: Intel integrates optimization solutions in industry-standard large model architectures, significantly improving efficiency, customization capabilities, and user experience;

Xe display engine: Supports an additional 4 display outputs and up to 4K resolution, suitable for various application scenarios of in-vehicle infotainment systems;

Open GL and Vulkan: Support open standard graphics APIs for ray tracing and next-generation graphics APIs to achieve more realistic graphics rendering effects;

High-performance 3A games: Utilizes the Xe HPG microarchitecture optimized for games, providing outstanding performance, efficiency, and scalability.

The Intel Arc 760-A can be described as a computing power monster. Its AI computing power is 229 TOPS, and it supports local deployment of AI large models with up to 14 billion parameters. It will be commercially available in 2025. This product has 28 Xe cores, 28 ray tracing units, and up to 448 AI-oriented XMX/vector engines, integrates 16GB of video memory, and supports the PCle 4.0 X 16 interface.
