# GPU Analysis — VRAM, bandwidth, clocks, RT/tensor hardware, what the benchmark scores mean for rendering

The Intel Arc A380 is a 6 GB GDDR6 card on a 96-bit bus, delivering 186.0 GB/s of memory bandwidth. That is a modest figure by modern standards, but it is paired with a 2000 MHz base and 2050 MHz boost clock on the DG2-128 chip. The GPU has 1024 shading units, 64 texture mapping units, and 32 ROPs. Its pixel rate is 65.60 GPixel/s and its texture rate is 131.2 GTexel/s. Compute throughput is 4.198 TFLOPS for FP32 and 8.397 TFLOPS for FP16 with a 2:1 ratio. The card draws 75 W TDP and uses a single 8-pin power connector.

The A380 includes 8 RT cores, which places it in the entry-level ray tracing tier. There are no tensor cores listed in the data, meaning AI acceleration is not a hardware focus for this GPU. The architecture is Xe-HPG from the Alchemist generation (Arc 3), built on TSMC's 6 nm process with 7,200 million transistors on a 157 mm² die. It supports DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4, so API coverage is current. The card has dual-slot width and measures 222 mm in length, 114 mm in height, and 42 mm in width.

Benchmark results place the A380 at the 44th percentile among all GPUs. Its average benchmark score is 8558. In 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12, it scores 808. Geekbench OpenCL and Vulkan scores are 38224 and 36736, respectively. PassMark G3D is 6252, while G2D is 610. The DirectX 12 score is 35, DirectX 11 is 38, DirectX 10 is 37, and DirectX 9 is 73. Compute performance via PassMark GPU Compute is 2762. The nearest rival is the AMD FirePro W5170M at 8595 average score, which is 0.4% ahead. The AMD Radeon HD 8870M is 1.1% behind, the NVIDIA GeForce MX330 is 1.2% behind, and the AMD Radeon 880M is 1.4% behind.

For rendering workloads, the 6 GB VRAM is the hard ceiling. At 1080p with high texture settings, 6 GB is workable for many games, but it will limit texture quality in titles that exceed that footprint. The 186.0 GB/s bandwidth is sufficient for the 1024 shading units, but it is not a high-bandwidth design. The 8 RT cores provide basic ray tracing capability, but the FP32 throughput of 4.198 TFLOPS suggests that heavy RT workloads will be slow. The 44th percentile ranking confirms this is an entry-level discrete GPU, not a performance tier product. The A380's DirectX 12 score of 35 is notably lower than its DirectX 9 score of 73, indicating that the card is better suited to legacy APIs or lighter DX12 titles. The 3DMark Steel Nomad score of 808 is a low figure, reflecting the card's position well below mainstream gaming GPUs.

# Upgrade Path and Platform — socket, memory support, PCIe, PSU headroom from suggestedPsu/tdp, what a sensible next upgrade looks like

The AMD Ryzen AI 5 440G uses the AMD Socket AM5 platform. This is a desktop socket with DDR5 memory support and a dual-channel memory bus. The memory bandwidth is 89.6 GB/s, and ECC memory is supported. The CPU provides PCIe Gen 4 with 12 lanes from the CPU itself. The integrated graphics are Radeon 840M, which is a capable fallback if the discrete GPU is removed.

The TDP is 65 W, which is a mainstream desktop power envelope. The Intel Arc A380 has a TDP of 75 W, and the suggested PSU for that GPU is 250 W. Combined, the CPU and GPU draw roughly 140 W under load, so a 250 W PSU recommendation leaves headroom for the rest of the system. The A380 uses a single 8-pin power connector, which is standard for entry-level cards. The GPU is PCIe 4.0 x8, which is a half-width interface, but on a PCIe Gen 4 platform that is not a bottleneck for a card of this performance class.

A sensible next upgrade would be to replace the A380 with a higher-tier GPU. The AM5 platform supports PCIe Gen 4, so any modern graphics card will work. The CPU has 12 PCIe lanes from the CPU, which is enough for a single GPU plus NVMe storage. The 65 W TDP of the CPU means there is thermal headroom for a more powerful GPU without changing the power supply, provided the PSU has sufficient wattage. The suggested 250 W PSU for the A380 is modest; upgrading to a GPU with a higher TDP would require a corresponding PSU upgrade.

The memory support for DDR5 is a future-proofing element. The dual-channel bus with 89.6 GB/s bandwidth is adequate for gaming and productivity, and ECC support is a plus for workstation use. The AM5 socket is currently active, and the CPU's production status is Active, so the platform will have longevity. The CPU's multiplier is unlocked, allowing overclocking if the motherboard supports it. The 12 PCIe Gen 4 lanes are sufficient for a single GPU plus one or two NVMe drives.

# CPU Analysis — cores, clocks, architecture, what the benchmark scores mean for real workloads

# Gaming Performance

No measured FPS rows exist for this exact CPU and GPU combination. The FACT PACK contains no measuredFps data, so all FPS figures below are estimated from the benchmark scores. The data is not measured, and frame rates are qualitative estimates.

The Intel Arc A380's PassMark G3D score of 6252 and 3DMark Steel Nomad score of 808 indicate entry-level gaming performance. At 1080p with low to medium settings, the A380 should handle esports titles like Counter-Strike 2 and Valorant at playable frame rates, based on its DirectX 11 score of 38 and DirectX 9 score of 73. The higher DirectX 9 score suggests that older games and lighter esports titles will perform better than modern AAA games.

For modern AAA titles at 1080p ultra settings, the A380 will struggle. The DirectX 12 score of 35 is low, and the 6 GB VRAM will be a limiting factor for texture-heavy games. The 44th percentile GPU ranking places it below the NVIDIA GeForce MX330 by 1.2% and the AMD Radeon 880M by 1.4%, so it is in the same performance class as integrated graphics from the previous generation. The CPU's strong single-thread score of 4060 will not compensate for the GPU's limitations in GPU-bound scenarios.

Ray tracing is technically supported via the 8 RT cores, but the 4.198 TFLOPS FP32 throughput means RT effects will severely impact frame rates. The 3DMark Steel Nomad score of 808 reflects this, as that benchmark includes modern rendering features. For competitive gaming at 1080p with competitive settings, the A380 is adequate. For immersive single-player titles, a GPU upgrade is recommended. The 250 W suggested PSU leaves room for a more powerful card without changing the power supply.

# Balance and Bottleneck

The AMD Ryzen AI 5 440G is a 89th percentile CPU, while the Intel Arc A380 is a 44th percentile GPU. This creates a significant imbalance: the CPU is capable of feeding a much more powerful GPU than the A380. In CPU-bound workloads like data compression, encryption, and integer math, the system will perform at a high level. In GPU-bound workloads like modern gaming at high settings, the A380 will be the limiting factor.

The PassMark multithread score of 23487 for the CPU versus the GPU's G3D score of 6252 illustrates this disparity. The CPU can handle multiple background tasks while gaming, but the GPU will bottleneck frame rates in graphically intensive scenes. The 6 GB VRAM on the A380 is a hard limit for texture quality, and the 186.0 GB/s bandwidth is not sufficient for high-resolution textures. The CPU's 89.6 GB/s memory bandwidth is ample for its core count, but the GPU's bandwidth is modest for its 1024 shading units.

In productivity workloads, the balance is better. The CPU's 89th percentile ranking means it handles compilation, spreadsheet calculations, and multitasking with ease. The GPU's compute score of 2762 in PassMark is low, so GPU-accelerated tasks like video encoding or machine learning will be slow. The CPU's data compression score of 292735 is a standout, making this system excellent for file archiving and backup tasks. The bottleneck in this pairing is clearly the GPU, and any upgrade path should prioritize a faster graphics card.
