Speaking of intel GPU’s, one of their lower-end discrete cards just got benchmarked! Specifically, its the Arc A380. In terms of specifications, this is the model that would allegedly feature 128 compute unit, 6GB of GDDR6 and a memory bus of 96 Bit. We dont know the clock speeds just yet, but we'll get back to that in a moment. It was tested using the sis software benchmark tool and it did relatively well. Now sis software is kind of a weird benchmark because it's very synthetic, but here we go. In the vectorized GPGPU section there are 4 different tests. On average, the ARC A380 essentially performed around its competition. Those are the 6500 XT, and the RTX 3050. Its not necessarily better, but its right in the middle excelling in some tests like Mandel quad and being beaten in others. Now gaming performance will likely be a different thing altogether, but, with the benefit of XeSS, I would definitely say that the A380 is priming itself to be a good 3050 competitor.
Oh, and I mentioned clock speeds earlier. while we dont know what the A380 will be clocked at, it looks like we got a sneak peak at what the higher end models might be. One of the higher end models, the one with 512 Execution units, was spotted on geekbench a couple of days ago. It was paired with a 9600K and it had a clock speed of 2400Mhz.
