Yesterday we made a comprehensive interpretation of Intel's latest release of arc a sharp display (click to view details), but unfortunately Intel's performance description of the first Arc A350M and Arc A370M is somewhat vague, and can only guess the actual performance of the Arc A370M by comparing it with the histogram of the Iris Xe 96 core display.
Just as the so-called "sleepiness comes, someone sends a pillow", a few days ago, foreign media exposed the 3DMark running data of the Samsung Galaxy Book Pro2 notebook that debuted the Arc A350M alone, which can let us understand the theoretical performance of arc A350M more intuitively.
In simple terms, as a test platform, the Samsung Galaxy Book Pro2 is equipped with the 12th generation Core i7-1260P (4 large 8 small 12 core 16 threads) processor, equipped with Arc A350M unique display. The latter shields 2 Xe cores on the basis of the A370M, leaving only 6 Xe cores (equivalent to 96 execution units) and 6 optical chasing units, and the memory width is also 64bit, but the core frequency is also reduced to 1150MHz, and the power consumption range is between 25W and 35W.
The test data is divided into two groups, namely the power mode is set to "default" and "performance", we naturally want to use the performance mode running score on the right side as a reference.
The Arc A350M has a GPU sub-score of 7318 in the Fire Strike project and a GPU sub-score of 3197 in the Time Spy project.
To be honest, this set of scores is still quite surprising.
If you take the 100% running score of the GeForce MX450 in the Oversized Cup (28W, GDDR6 video memory) as a benchmark, the Arc A350M solo is 31.8% stronger than it, surpassing the Ryzen 7 6800H integrated Radeon 680M and NVIDIA's just released GeForce MX550 monolith, which has touched the "butt" of the GTX 1650 Ti.
Arc A350M has an equivalent of 96 sets of execution units, but the performance can be seconds to beat the sharp torch Xe that also has 96 sets of execution units, which shows that the homologous Xe HPG architecture is indeed more powerful than the Xe LP architecture.
It should be noted that the running score of 3DMark is not necessarily proportional to the frame count of the actual game, and the Intel core display and AMD core display have always had the problem of high 3DMark theoretical running score but low actual game frame number.
According to the test summary of the digital blogger @ Golden Pig Upgrade Pack, the comprehensive performance of the Ryzen 7 6800H integrated Radeon 680M in many game tests is only 1% higher than that of the MX450, which is a huge difference from the 3DMark theoretical running score.
Therefore, we should be mentally prepared to match the actual game frame rate of the Arc A350M and the MX450 or Radeon 680M.
However, even so, the performance of Intel's new Arc A350M unique display is enough to satisfy the vast majority of users, after all, there is a bloody Arc A370M behind it, and it is estimated that its performance is expected to challenge the RTX 2050, as the 12th generation Core thin and light graphics card, it can be (we certainly hope that arc performance can be better, so as to end the negative attitude of NVIDIA and AMD squeezing toothpaste).
Of course, the premise of everything is that Intel's drivers and software this time do not lag behind.....
