With its first discrete graphics processor, "dGPU," for autonomous and connected vehicles, Intel aims to serve the growing demand for artificial intelligence in the automotive industry. The goal is to facilitate more screens, high-resolution graphics, and AI-controlled cockpit functions.

The discrete GPU is based on Intel's Arc-Alchemist architecture, is a variant of the ACM-G10 Xe-HPG chip and has a Total Board Power of 225 watts. The graphics hardware designated A760A has 28 Xe cores, 28 ray tracing units, and up to 448 XMX/Vector Engines.

The GPU operates with a boost clock speed of 1,963 MHz, offers performance of up to 14 teraflops FP32 with single precision, and provides up to 229 TOPS of AI processing power. Additional hardware features include 16 GB of 256-bit memory and a PCIe 4.0x16 interface.

The new GPU will be commercially deployed in vehicles in China from early 2025. However, Intel did not confirm which vehicles will be the first to use the GPU. In a press release, the company stated that China was chosen as the launch market because the country's "rapid development cycles for electric vehicles and advanced technological acceptance" facilitate the testing of new technologies before a wider global launch.

This is what's in the A760A graphics processor

The discrete graphics processor comes with a Linux-based open-source operating system for automobiles and graphics drivers optimized for both discrete and integrated GPUs. Through the open-source software, car manufacturers can adapt the graphics chip to their needs.

According to the manufacturer, the GPU "Single Root Input/Output Virtualization" developed by Intel can achieve performance increases of up to 40 percent in virtualized environments. LLM frameworks developed specifically for automotive applications should also ensure better performance.

Up to four display outputs are supported by the Xe Display Engine. It offers a resolution of 4K for each output. Moreover, the dGPU is optimized for gaming applications. This is particularly designed to allow all occupants of autonomous vehicles to access responsive computer games.
