Speeds are estimates for a single request — one conversation at a time — calculated from memory bandwidth, model size and quantisation. Real throughput varies with the inference runtime and its version. Figures published by hardware vendors measure many simultaneous requests and are much higher.

What the numbers mean
Why memory is the number that matters here
Memory
12 GB
Bandwidth
384 GB/s
Largest model
ERNIE-4.5-21B-A3B
12 GB of GDDR6 puts the Arc Pro A60 comfortably into small and mid-sized models, with roughly 10.8 GB usable once the driver overhead is taken out. The largest models are out of reach without splitting them.
The memory bus moves 384 GB/s across a 192-bit bus. That is the number that governs generation speed — arithmetic per byte read is small enough that the bus, not the cores, is what everything waits on.
That comes from a 2 GHz memory clock across the bus width above. Widening the bus and raising the clock are the two levers a manufacturer has, which is why a card with unremarkable cores can still generate quickly.
Put together, the largest model that fits is ERNIE-4.5-21B-A3B at 21B, running Q3_K_M and producing around 75.5 tokens per second.
The chip and how it was built
The Arc Pro A60 is built on the DG2-256 graphics processor, using Intel's Xe-HPG architecture, as part of the Alchemist(Pro Series) generation.
The chip is manufactured by TSMC, on a 6 nm process, with a die measuring 269 mm², holding 11.5 billion transistors. A smaller process generally means more performance for the same power, though for language models it matters far less than the memory subsystem.
It was released in June 2023, roughly 3 years ago. Inference software support tends to follow hardware by a year or two, so a card of this age generally has mature, well-optimised code paths available to it.
Compute throughput, and why it matters less than it looks
FP16
16.8 TFLOPS
On paper the Arc Pro A60 reaches 16.8 TFLOPS at half precision and 8.4 TFLOPS at single precision. These are peak figures no real workload sustains, and generating text reaches only a small fraction of them — decoding is limited by memory rather than arithmetic, which is why a card can look enormously powerful here and still produce tokens at an ordinary rate.
Clocks run from 900 MHz at base to 2.05 GHz boosted. Worth far less here than on a gaming benchmark: raising the clock speeds up the arithmetic, and the arithmetic is not what generation is waiting on.
Cache and processing units
backed by 12 MB of L2. Cache absorbs a share of the memory traffic that would otherwise hit the main bus, which is the one place on this page where a number other than bandwidth quietly affects generation speed — a large L2 lets more of the working set stay close to the cores.
There are 2,048 shading units, 128 texture mapping units, and 64 render output units. These drive graphics workloads and contribute to prompt processing, but they sit idle for much of the time a model spends generating a reply.
Power, size and installation
Power draw
130 W
The Arc Pro A60 is rated at 130 W, with a 300 W power supply suggested for the whole system. Running a language model keeps a card busy in bursts rather than continuously — it draws hard while generating and idles between requests — so sustained draw over a working day is usually well below the rated figure.
The board occupies a single-slot. Worth checking against the case and power supply already in the machine, since the largest cards need considerably more of both than a typical desktop provides.
It connects over PCIe 4.0 x16. The interface governs how quickly a model is loaded from disk into the card, not how fast it runs once there, so a narrower link costs a few seconds at startup and nothing thereafter.

Step by step
How to work out the tokens per second of a Arc Pro A60
You do not have to calculate anything by hand — the gputps.com calculator on this page has already worked it out for every model this card can hold. Reading off the answer takes six steps.
-
01
Find the model in the table
Every one of the 396 models this Arc Pro A60 runs is in the table above. Search narrows it by name or by size.
-
02
Set the context length you will actually use
Set the context to your real working length. Short questions cost almost nothing; a long document can consume a large share of the card's 12 GB.
-
03
Pin the comparison to one quality level
Each model is shown at the best compression this card can hold. A minimum quality hides the ones that only fit by being squeezed further than you would accept.
-
04
Look at the range, not just the number
Speeds come with error bars for a reason. The best case here is 106 tok/s on Gemma 3 QAT 1B, and which inference software you use moves that by thirty to fifty per cent.
-
05
Read the fit verdict last
The fit column separates models that just fit from those with room to spare — worth checking against the card's 12 GB before settling on one.

Following a model through to its own page lists all the hardware that can run it, so you can see where the Arc Pro A60 sits against the alternatives.
Answers
Arc Pro A60 — common questions
What type of memory does a Arc Pro A60 use?
It uses GDDR6 clocked at 2 GHz. HBM types are found on datacentre accelerators and carry far more bandwidth than the GDDR used on desktop cards, which is why they generate tokens considerably faster at the same capacity.
Who makes the Arc Pro A60?
The Arc Pro A60 is a Intel product, with the chip manufactured by TSMC, on a 6 nm process.
When was the Arc Pro A60 released?
The Arc Pro A60 was released in June 2023.
How much power does a Arc Pro A60 use?
The Arc Pro A60 has a rated board power of 130 W, and a 300 W system power supply is suggested. Generating text draws hard in bursts and idles between requests, so average consumption over a working session is normally well below the rated figure.
How much cache does a Arc Pro A60 have?
and 12 MB of L2 cache. Cache absorbs part of the memory traffic that would otherwise reach the main bus, so a larger L2 gives a modest lift to generation speed beyond what bandwidth alone predicts.
What are the TFLOPS of a Arc Pro A60?
The Arc Pro A60 is rated at 16.8 TFLOPS at half precision and 8.4 TFLOPS at single precision. These are peak arithmetic ceilings rather than achievable rates, and text generation reaches only a small fraction of them because it is limited by memory bandwidth instead.
Does the Arc Pro A60 support CUDA?
No. CUDA is NVIDIA-only, and the Arc Pro A60 is a Intel card. It runs language models through ROCm, Vulkan or Metal depending on the software, which are less mature than the CUDA path — our estimates apply a penalty for that.
What bus interface does the Arc Pro A60 use?
It uses PCIe 4.0 x16. This governs how fast a model is loaded onto the card rather than how fast it runs once loaded, so it costs a few seconds at startup and nothing during generation.
Is the Arc Pro A60 good for running local AI models?
Its memory covers small and mid-sized models, though the largest are out of reach though its bandwidth means generation will feel slow on larger models. In total it runs 396 of the models we track. Whether that is enough depends entirely on which model you want — the table above answers that directly.
Can a Arc Pro A60 run a model that does not fit in its memory?
Only partly. Layers beyond the 12 GB sit in system memory and run at a fraction of the speed, so a mostly-offloaded model is rarely worth using. Every figure here assumes it is fully resident on the card.
Would two Arc Pro A60 cards be twice as fast?
Capacity adds, throughput does not. Two of them give you 24 GB to work with rather than twice the tokens per second — every figure here is for a single Arc Pro A60.
What AI models can a Arc Pro A60 run?
396 of the 679 open-weight language models we track fit on a Arc Pro A60 and can be run locally on it. The table on this page lists every one, with the memory it needs, the quantisation it runs at and an estimated generation speed.
What is the largest AI model a Arc Pro A60 can run?
The largest model in our catalogue that fits on a Arc Pro A60 is ERNIE-4.5-21B-A3B at 21B parameters, compressed to Q3_K_M. It generates roughly 75.5 tokens per second and needs about 10.1 GB of the card's memory.
How many tokens per second does a Arc Pro A60 produce?
It depends on the model. On a Arc Pro A60 the fastest model we track is Gemma 3 QAT 1B at about 106 tokens per second, while larger models run proportionally slower because each token requires reading the whole model out of memory once. Speeds are estimates for a single conversation at a time.
Can a Arc Pro A60 run a 7B model?
Yes. For example a Arc Pro A60 runs DeepSeek Coder 6.7B at Q6_K, using about 9.9 GB of memory and generating around 22.9 tokens per second.
Can a Arc Pro A60 run a 13B model?
Yes. For example a Arc Pro A60 runs DeepSeekMoE-16B at Q4_K_M, using about 10.0 GB of memory and generating around 84.7 tokens per second.
How much memory does a Arc Pro A60 have?
A Arc Pro A60 has 12 GB of GDDR6 memory. Around a tenth of that is reserved by the inference runtime and the driver, leaving roughly 10.8 GB available for a model and its conversation.
What is the memory bandwidth of a Arc Pro A60?
The Arc Pro A60 has 384 GB/s of memory bandwidth, across a 192-bit memory bus. This is the single best predictor of how fast it generates text, because producing each token means reading the entire model out of memory once.
