Intel produces a powerful new GPU… for your car

Key findings

  • Intel is working on a new GPU for luxury cars that will enable a state-of-the-art gaming experience on the go.
  • The Arc A760A GPU will handle AI tools, dashboard displays, personalized experiences, and possibly even gaming.
  • With 16GB of memory and 225W of power consumption, this GPU is expected to take automotive technology to the next level by 2025.



What GPU do you use in your car? Now that might seem like a strange question, but Intel wants that question to be a thing of the past. The tech giant has revealed that it's working on a brand new GPU, but the catch is that it's not for your PC. If Intel actually pulls it off, you could find them in luxury cars as early as 2025.

Intel unveils Arc A760A GPU to achieve “demanding AAA gaming” for cars

As reported by Tom's HardwareIntel is working on the Arc A760A GPU for cars. If you listen to Intel's reasoning, putting a GPU in a car doesn't seem as strange as you might think. After all, automakers are trying to find new ways to enhance the dashboard with AI tools, and you need the hardware to run those AI models.

However, Intel stated that the GPU is also intended to enable “personalized in-vehicle passenger experiences, as is common across the PC industry.” I don't know about you, but to me it sounds like Intel wants to make it so you can game Cyberpunk2077 during those hour-long car rides. If that’s true, you need a GPU that can handle the people in the back seat playing games, the dashboard display, And all AI models are triggered simultaneously.


So how powerful is it? In terms of specs, it's similar to the Intel Arc A750 GPU you find in desktop PCs, with 28 Xe cores and power consumption of up to 225W. However, unlike its PC-based brother, the Arc A760A has 16GB of memory instead of 8GB.

Intel seems pretty confident about car technology, as the company has reportedly developed “over 500 features and AI apps for cars.” Until then, we can only imagine what it would be like to upgrade a car's GPU. Would you go to a tech store or repair shop to do that? Who knows.
