Intel Pro Arc a40

It does but I do not process it. They are inside the pro driver suites.

 
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction, picked up an a40 for dirt cheap, so I'm trying to make a plan before it arrives. You don't by chance have a write up or something that would help me figure out how to extract them?
 
I don’t. Like most driver software though you can execute it and look in app data or temp for the extracted contents (leave the installer running as most delete this when it’s done) or you can rip it apart using something like 7zip.
 
I have them extracted now, just trying to figure out what files map to which cards. Going through inf's for now.
 
I'm taking a look at it also. I think with the info on the B50 coming, we are going to not only see the Arc Pro cards in Workstations, but high end gaming systems too, main GPU for gaming, Arc Pro for Ai work, transcoding/encoding, etc.
 
I have an A40 and did put that in the matrix naming scheme though I don’t process the firmware.

Some are for max and flex but the A40 Pro is SOC2. I assume the A60 is SOC1 like the FLEX and the A770.

It is difficult to get these cards and they were not prolific but I would be open to processing pro firmware if there is a need.

Usually the professional crowd doesn’t tinker and those will get updated with the drivers on workstations. Similarly MAX and FLEX are there own downloads from OEMs and do not use the same delivery method as consumer or pro. Those users are running 1-8GPUs in servers on Linux and generally know what they are doing and have access to the downloads.
 
Am I crazy or am I seeing iGPU in the Arc drivers? Never even considered those.
 
Only the likes of a770m. Nothing on chip like meteor or lunar lake as far as firmware. The driver itself supports multiple iGPUs though.

How did you like the a40?
