Intel Arc A380E vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no direct benchmark results for the Intel Arc A380E, while the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 has a substantial set of recorded scores. This asymmetry defines the comparison. The Arc A380E carries no average benchmark score, no percentile ranking beyond its position in the overall GPU distribution, and no entries in any individual test. The RTX 4070, by contrast, delivers a comprehensive performance profile across multiple DirectX versions, compute workloads, and API-specific tests.

The RTX 4070 records an average benchmark score of 37,648 across its ten tests. Its percentile standing of 81 versus all GPUs places it firmly in the upper tier of recorded hardware. The nearest rivals in the database confirm this positioning. The NVIDIA Tesla P4 scores 37,628, a delta of 0.1 percent. The AMD Radeon RX Vega 56 scores 37,507, a delta of 0.4 percent. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 Mobile scores 38,135, a delta of negative 1.3 percent, meaning the desktop RTX 4070 trails that mobile part by 1.3 percent. The AMD Radeon PRO W6400 scores 37,157, a delta of 1.3 percent, meaning the RTX 4070 leads it by 1.3 percent. These four rivals bracket the RTX 4070 within a narrow band of roughly 2.6 percentage points, indicating a tightly contested performance cluster rather than a decisive lead over any single competitor.

Looking at specific workloads, the RTX 4070 posts a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 3,854. In Geekbench OpenCL it reaches 154,858, and in Geekbench Vulkan it reaches 174,152. The Passmark suite shows scores of 139 in DirectX 10, 244 in DirectX 11, 103 in DirectX 12, and 320 in DirectX 9. The GPU compute score of 14,720 and the G3D score of 26,927 round out the compute and graphics portions, while the G2D score of 1,164 covers 2D throughput. These numbers indicate a card that scales from legacy DirectX 9 titles to modern DX12 and Vulkan workloads, with the Vulkan score exceeding the OpenCL score by roughly 12 percent.

The Intel Arc A380E has no equivalent data. Its average benchmark score is zero, its nearest rivals list is empty, and it produces zero wins in head-to-head comparisons. The only quantitative anchor available is its percentile versus all GPUs, which sits at 50. That places it at the median of the database's GPU population, but without a benchmark score the percentile cannot be interpreted as a performance figure. It simply reflects its position in the distribution of all recorded GPUs.

Because the Arc A380E lacks benchmark entries, the RTX 4070 holds a clear advantage in every measurable test category. The largest gaps are in raw compute and synthetic graphics scores, where the RTX 4070's figures are orders of magnitude higher than anything the Arc A380E can claim from the database. The Arc A380E's theoretical throughput numbers, such as FP32 of 4.096 TFLOPS and a texture rate of 128.0 GTexel/s, suggest a modest performer, but these are specifications, not measured results, and the database records no test that confirms them.

The Verdict

The recorded data points decisively toward the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 for any workload that benefits from measured benchmark performance. It has ten documented tests, an average score of 37,648, and a percentile of 81. The Intel Arc A380E has no benchmarks, no average score, and a percentile of 50. In a database-driven comparison, a GPU with verified scores across DirectX 9 through 12, Vulkan, OpenCL, and compute workloads outperforms one with no verified scores at all.

The RTX 4070 sits within 1.3 percent of the RTX 4080 Mobile, within 0.1 percent of the Tesla P4, and within 0.4 percent of the RX Vega 56. It leads the Radeon PRO W6400 by 1.3 percent. These margins are small, which means the RTX 4070 is not an outlier in its class; it is a consistent mid-to-upper tier performer whose scores cluster with comparable hardware. The Arc A380E, lacking any such cluster, cannot be positioned relative to these parts.

Users seeking a GPU with confirmed results in modern and legacy APIs should select the RTX 4070. Users constrained to the Arc A380E should recognize that the database provides no empirical evidence of its performance, only its theoretical specifications and a median percentile ranking. The RTX 4070 also offers a larger memory pool of 12 GB versus 6 GB, a wider 192-bit memory bus versus 96-bit, and higher bandwidth of 504.2 GB/s versus 186.0 GB/s, all of which support its benchmark advantage in memory-intensive workloads. The Arc A380E's lower power draw of 75 W versus 200 W makes it the more efficient part on paper, but efficiency without measured performance does not translate into a competitive benchmark position.

Clock behavior also differs: the RTX 4070 has a base of 1,920 MHz and a boost of 2,475 MHz, while the Arc A380E runs at a fixed 2,000 MHz for both base and boost. The RTX 4070's memory clock is 1,313 MHz with 21 Gbps effective, while the Arc A380E's memory clock is 1,937 MHz with 15.5 Gbps effective.

Power and physical specifications diverge sharply. The RTX 4070 has a TDP of 200 W, a suggested PSU of 550 W, a dual-slot width, and a single 16-pin power connector. The Arc A380E has a TDP of 75 W, a suggested PSU of 250 W, a single-slot width, and no power connectors. The RTX 4070 measures 240 mm in length, 110 mm in height, and 40 mm in width. The Arc A380E measures 254 mm in length, 127 mm in height, and 20 mm in width. The bus interface also differs: the RTX 4070 uses PCIe 4.0 x16, while the Arc A380E uses PCIe 4.0 x8.

Display outputs vary. The RTX 4070 provides 1x HDMI 2.1 and 3x DisplayPort 1.4a. The Arc A380E provides 4x DisplayPort 2.0. Both support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. The launch MSRP for the RTX 4070 is 599 USD; the Arc A380E has no recorded launch MSRP.

Architecture Differences

The RTX 4070 is built on the Ada Lovelace architecture using the AD104 chip, fabricated by TSMC on a 5 nm process. The Arc A380E uses the Xe-HPG architecture with the DG2-128 chip, also fabricated by TSMC but on a 6 nm process. Transistor counts and die sizes reflect the generational and market gap: the RTX 4070 packs 35,800 million transistors on a 294 mm² die, yielding a transistor density of 121.8 million per mm². The Arc A380E packs 7,200 million transistors on a 157 mm² die, yielding a density of 45.9 million per mm².

The RTX 4070 belongs to the GeForce 40-series generation, with Ada Lovelace as its architecture and the AD104 chip as its silicon. Its predecessor is the GeForce 30 series and its successor is the GeForce 50 series. The Arc A380E belongs to the Alchemist (Arc 3) generation, with Xe-HPG as its architecture and DG2-128 as its chip. Its predecessor is Xe Graphics and its successor is Battlemage. Both are marked end-of-life in the database.

The architectural feature sets align with the specification differences. The RTX 4070's 184 tensor cores enable AI-accelerated workloads, a feature entirely absent from the Arc A380E. The RTX 4070's 46 ray tracing cores outnumber the Arc A380E's 8 by a wide margin. The FP16 execution ratio also differs: the RTX 4070 runs FP16 at a 1:1 ratio with FP32, while the Arc A380E runs FP16 at a 2:1 ratio, meaning its FP16 throughput is double its FP32 throughput. The RTX 4070's pixel rate of 158.4 GPixel/s and texture rate of 455.4 GTexel/s far exceed the Arc A380E's 64.00 GPixel/s and 128.0 GTexel/s. Release timing places the RTX 4070 in April 2023 and the Arc A380E in March 2024, making the Intel part the later release despite its smaller silicon and lower performance envelope.
