A moderator on the Intel forums confirmed that Intel’s consumer-focused Arc Alchemist GPUs will not feature hardware-accelerated FP64 cores, relegating the GPUs to native FP32 and FP16 support. The only exception to this is emulated FP64 support on Arc Alchemist which will be supported for niche cases. However, due to the nature of emulation, FP64 calculations on Arc will run much slower than on GPUs with native hardware-accelerated FP64 cores.
Keep in mind that this configuration only applies to Intel’s gaming-centric Arc Alchemist GPUs, not its upcoming Ponte Vecchio GPUs for the enterprise space.
