Intel Arc A310 through A770: video transcoding specs?

Sven_ — Tue, 03 Sep 2024 14:53:43 GMT

I'm looking for specifications regarding the video decoding and encoding capabilities of the Intel Arc PCIe GPUs.

How many streams can be decoded and encoded in parallel?

I have done some testing with an Arc A770 and measured 42 transcoded H.264 streams in parallel, but i'd like to get numbers for the other GPUs and other codecs.

The data sheets published by Intel that i've seen contain no details whatsoever. Also they are translated very poorly into German and in the balloon help, they tell me to refer to the original manufacturer (on intel.com, no less!). Yikes!

Intel is really dropping the ball on properly documenting their own hardware.

Thanks @MUC that list is more detailed than the other ones i've seen so far.

However, it only has checkmarks and that tells me nothing about the performance: How many streams in parallel can the various chips handle?

The overall performance of a GPU depends on the configuration of the entire system (hardware and software). Maybe this will give you an idea of the dependencies.

When Intel talks about Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), it means a manufacturer of a computer or workstation that is specialized and certified for the respective application. You can find an overview here.

Example Adobe Premiere Pro video editing software application as a non-linear editing system (NLE).
