Intel Arc A380E vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti is in a completely different performance class than the Intel Arc A380E. The recorded data shows no benchmark scores for the Intel Arc A380E, while the RTX 4070 Ti has an average benchmark score of 44,795. The RTX 4070 Ti sits at the 84th percentile of all GPUs in the database, whereas the A380E sits at the 50th percentile. The RTX 4070 Ti delivers approximately 10.9 times the average benchmark score of the A380E, indicating a massive gulf in raw performance.

The RTX 4070 Ti achieves 31,624 in Passmark G3D, a comprehensive graphics test, while the A380E has no recorded score in this test. In compute workloads, the RTX 4070 Ti produces 18,396 in Passmark GPU Compute. The A380E offers no comparable recorded result. The Geekbench OpenCL result for the RTX 4070 Ti is 176,953, and its Vulkan score is 213,808. The A380E has no entries for either test.

The RTX 4070 Ti also holds a strong position against its nearest rivals in the database, though those rivals are not the A380E. The RTX 4070 Ti trails the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 Mobile by 0.8% in average score, sits 1.3% behind the AMD Radeon Pro 5500 XT, and is 1.6% ahead of the NVIDIA RTX A6000. It also trails the Intel Arc A730M by 1.7%. These deltas are small, meaning the RTX 4070 Ti performs within a tight band around these competing products.

The Arc A380E has no recorded benchmark scores, so its wins column is zero. The RTX 4070 Ti also has zero recorded head-to-head benchmark comparisons against the A380E. The data simply does not include any direct test results for the A380E across the database's standard suite.

Where Each One Wins

The RTX 4070 Ti wins in every measurable category because it is the only one with recorded benchmark data. It is designed for high-end rendering, ray tracing, and compute-heavy tasks. Its Passmark DirectX 10 score of 187, DirectX 11 score of 288, DirectX 12 score of 116, and DirectX 9 score of 352 show consistent capability across legacy and modern APIs. Its Passmark G2D score of 1,200 confirms strong 2D performance as well.

The Intel Arc A380E, by contrast, has no recorded benchmarks. Its strengths must be inferred from its specifications alone. It is a 75 W card with a single-slot design and no power connectors, which suggests it is intended for low-power, compact systems where efficiency matters more than absolute performance. It uses 6 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 96-bit bus, delivering 186.0 GB/s of bandwidth. This is a fraction of the RTX 4070 Ti's 504.2 GB/s.

The RTX 4070 Ti is the clear choice for gaming at high resolutions, productivity workloads, and any task that benefits from large memory capacity and high throughput. The A380E appears suited for basic display output, embedded applications, or systems with strict power limits. Neither card wins in the other's intended territory based on the data.

Architecture Differences

The two GPUs come from different manufacturers and entirely different architectural families. Intel uses the Xe-HPG architecture with the DG2-128 chip, part of the Alchemist generation for Arc 3 products. NVIDIA uses Ada Lovelace with the AD104 chip, part of the GeForce 40-series.

The manufacturing process differs significantly. The A380E is built on a 6 nm process at TSMC, while the RTX 4070 Ti uses a 5 nm process, also at TSMC. The transistor counts reflect this gap: the A380E contains 7,200 million transistors on a 157 mm² die, giving a density of 45.9 million transistors per mm². The RTX 4070 Ti contains 35,800 million transistors on a 294 mm² die, for a density of 121.8 million per mm². The RTX 4070 Ti packs nearly five times as many transistors into less than twice the die area.

Memory architecture is also fundamentally different. The A380E uses 6 GB of GDDR6 across a 96-bit bus. The RTX 4070 Ti uses 12 GB of GDDR6X across a 192-bit bus. The memory clock for the A380E is 1937 MHz, translating to 15.5 Gbps effective, while the RTX 4070 Ti runs at 1313 MHz, translating to 21 Gbps effective. Bandwidth tells the story: 186.0 GB/s versus 504.2 GB/s.

The compute units diverge sharply. The A380E has 1,024 shading units, 64 texture mapping units, 32 ROPs, and 8 ray tracing cores. The RTX 4070 Ti has 7,680 shading units, 240 TMUs, 80 ROPs, 60 RT cores, and 240 tensor cores. The A380E has no tensor cores at all, while the RTX 4070 Ti includes them for AI and deep learning workloads.

Clock speeds also differ. The A380E runs at a fixed 2000 MHz for both base and boost. The RTX 4070 Ti has a base clock of 2310 MHz and a boost clock of 2610 MHz. The pixel rate for the A380E is 64.00 GPixel/s, versus 208.8 GPixel/s for the RTX 4070 Ti. Texture rate is 128.0 GTexel/s versus 626.4 GTexel/s. FP32 compute is 4.096 TFLOPS versus 40.09 TFLOPS. The RTX 4070 Ti offers nearly ten times the FP32 throughput.

FP16 performance also differs in ratio. The A380E achieves 8.192 TFLOPS with a 2:1 ratio to FP32. The RTX 4070 Ti achieves 40.09 TFLOPS with a 1:1 ratio, meaning it does not halve throughput for half-precision work. This makes the RTX 4070 Ti particularly strong for mixed-precision workloads.

Power delivery and physical design separate the two further. The A380E has a 75 W TDP, is single-slot, uses no power connectors, and requires a 250 W suggested PSU. The RTX 4070 Ti has a 285 W TDP, is dual-slot, requires a single 16-pin connector, and needs a 600 W suggested PSU. The A380E connects via PCIe 4.0 x8, while the RTX 4070 Ti uses PCIe 4.0 x16.

Display outputs differ as well. The A380E provides four DisplayPort 2.0 outputs. The RTX 4070 Ti provides one HDMI 2.1 and three DisplayPort 1.4a outputs. Both support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4.

The release timeline and product status also differ. The A380E launched on 2024-03-31, while the RTX 4070 Ti launched on 2023-01-02. Both are marked end-of-life. The A380E lists Xe Graphics as its predecessor and Battlemage as its successor. The RTX 4070 Ti lists GeForce 30 as its predecessor and GeForce 50 as its successor.

The Verdict

The RTX 4070 Ti is the obvious choice for any workload requiring high performance. The data shows it at the 84th percentile of all GPUs, with an average score of 44,795. It delivers 40.09 TFLOPS of FP32 compute, 12 GB of GDDR6X memory, and 504.2 GB/s of bandwidth. It also supports tensor cores for AI tasks and has 60 RT cores for ray tracing.

The A380E is not comparable in performance. It has no recorded benchmark scores, 4.096 TFLOPS of FP32 compute, 6 GB of GDDR6 memory, and 186.0 GB/s of bandwidth. Its 75 W TDP and single-slot design make it suitable for low-power systems, but the database contains no evidence of competitive performance.

A user selecting a GPU strictly from recorded data should choose the RTX 4070 Ti for any compute-intensive or graphics-intensive application. The A380E is only relevant for constrained environments where power draw and physical footprint are the primary concerns. Its 254 mm length, 127 mm height, and 20 mm width make it a compact option, and its lack of power connectors simplifies installation. The RTX 4070 Ti, at 285 mm length, 112 mm height, and 42 mm width, is a larger dual-slot card with external power needs.

The launch MSRP for the RTX 4070 Ti is 799 USD. The A380E has no launch MSRP in the database.
