Hello everyone,

I’m considering using an Arc GPU for AI and machine learning projects, but I’m unsure whether it’s the right choice compared to other GPUs like those from NVIDIA or AMD. I’ve heard mixed reviews, and I’m hoping to get some insights on its performance in machine learning and AI applications.

Specifically, I’m interested in:

Performance in ML frameworks: How well do Arc GPUs handle popular machine learning libraries like TensorFlow, PyTorch, and Keras?

CUDA vs. oneAPI: Since NVIDIA GPUs use CUDA for AI workloads, does Arc GPU’s oneAPI provide comparable performance and support for machine learning tasks?

Training large models: How does an Arc GPU perform when training large-scale models, especially for deep learning tasks?

Integration with AI tools: Are there any known compatibility issues or optimizations needed when using Arc GPUs with AI development tools and platforms?

Cost-Effectiveness: Are Arc GPUs more affordable for machine learning and AI purposes compared to NVIDIA and AMD options?

Has anyone used Arc GPUs for machine learning workloads or AI research? Any insights on performance, limitations, or best practices for using Arc GPU in AI tasks would be greatly appreciated!
