Intel Arc A570M vs AMD Radeon RX 9070 vs Intel Arc A380

The AMD Radeon RX 9070 is a high-end graphics card based on AMD's Navi 48 (N48 XT) that features 56 CUs (28 WGP). The model will feature 16 GB of GDDR6 VRAM with a 256-bit bus and 64 MB of total cache.

Performance

Our tests show that the card is 13% faster overall than the RTX 4080 in games, and 3% slower than the RTX 4080 Super. The higher-level RTX 9070 XT is 12% faster. 

Power consumption

The Radeon RX 9070 requires 220 watts of energy, but there are also custom versions from AiB-partners with 240-watt TDP.

The Intel Arc A380 is a low-cost single-seed desktop GPU and is manufactured at TSMC using the 6 nm process. The graphics processor has the internal designation DG2-128 and combines 1,024 shader units. In terms of VRAM, you still get 6 GB GDDR6, which are connected via a 96-bit interface (15.5 Gbps, 186 GB/s). This makes the Intel Arc A380 the fourth fastest graphics card model from Intel.

Features

As the Intel Arc A380 is also based on the Alchemist architecture, the small model also has the same features as the faster models of the current Arc models. Nevertheless, there are significant performance limitations compared to the faster models. The most useful feature is certainly AV1 support, which enables encoding and decoding on the hardware side.

Performance

The performance of the Intel Arc A380 cannot keep up with current graphics cards from AMD and Nvidia. In view of this, this graphics card is not recommended exclusively for gaming use.

Power consumption

The power consumption of the Intel Arc A380 is estimated by the manufacturer at 75 watts (TGP). In terms of efficiency, the Intel Arc A380 is not convincing due to its low 3D performance. In the internal duel, the Intel Arc A380 is slightly more efficient than an Intel Arc A580 or an Intel Arc A750.
