The Intel iGPU that the previous apps are coded for won't work in the case of the Arc cards. They will have different card id's and actually different drivers from Intel depending on OS.
The stock i915 Intel drivers for their previous iGPU products are only now being updated to include the drivers for Arc (DG2/Alchemist) in the Linux environment.
I believe Windows drivers are already good to go for both the older iGPU in previous cpus and also for the new DG2/Alchemist ARC cards.
looks like things are settling for that system to do BRP4 tasks in ~50-55s? are you running 1 at a time? or multiple?
running some BRP4 tasks on my Xe iGPU, it does them in ~199seconds consistently. so your A750 is at least 4x as fast.
can you see how much power the GPU is using?
it's nice that they have an app for windows that recognizes this device. I wonder if they can port this app to Linux. I have to use an app_info to force the v1.34 app to use my Intel Xe iGPU. otherwise the server will not send me work and thinks I don't have a proper intel GPU.
you should try to run the FGRPB1G application they have for windows. I'm curious how fast it runs.
also I wonder why the project moved all the Intel GPUs to BRP4 instead of the larger BRP4G tasks. the faster devices were supposed to be on BRP4G due to load issues on their servers.
maybe they switched them due to problems in validation.
GeForce GTX 1060 with Max-Q Design (4095MB)= +/- 550sec /WU
keep in mind that system is running the BRP7 tasks on the nvidia GPU. those task runtimes are not comparable to the BRP4 tasks you're running on the ARC.
the BRP4 tasks on that system are being processed by the intel HD Graphics 630 GPU on the CPU. times are still similar though, 425-500 seconds. which is what I would expect. the Xe cards are about 2x as fast than the older iGPUs for openCL performance.
60W sounds good if it can maintain ~4x the performance (~50s runtimes) against my Xe iGPU. my CPU (including the GPU) maxes out at 28W TDP. and while crunching the whole system pulls about 32W.
Great news. Will look forward

1 task in ~40 seconds, 1 task in ~1000 seconds.
any idea why such a large difference?

No idea, we'll see over time how it does on average, there's still a few kinks to iron on this system (windows update, driver versions,...)
I haven't reserved a core for GPU yet, maybe I should ? => edit I set to 99% core usage thus freeing 1 core for GPU
looks like things are

Just one, GPU at 100%
I have this one too on Einstein@home: https://einsteinathome.org/host/12771771
GeForce GTX 1060 with Max-Q Design (4095MB)= +/- 550sec /WU
Intel ARC control shows the GPU around 60W mostly with periods up to 120W
it's pretty cool at 50celsius in the guest bedroom, not in an aircon room :D
I'll get better results in a few days here; https://wuprop.boinc-af.org/results/gpu.py?
