Two test results of the promising flagship mobile 3D accelerator Arc A770M for gamers appeared on the network. Interestingly, it was tested on two devices: a NUC12SNKi72 mini PC and a large Clevo X270PTA laptop with a 17.3-inch screen. In both cases, the Time Spy test scored over 10,000, which is better than the GeForce RTX 3060’s result. Of course it’s mobile.

In both cases the frequencies are the same: the average GPU frequency is 1710-1714 MHz, the maximum is 2050 MHz. In both cases, the frequency of the GDDR6 memory was 2.0 GHz (16 GB of memory). Interestingly, with the same parameters and results, the 3D accelerator on the NUC warmed up less (68°C) than on the laptop. Cooling on a mini computer is clearly better organized.

As for the difference in results, it is explained by testing the NUC with non-optimized drivers as opposed to the laptop. It should be noted that if in 3DMark the Intel Arc A770M turned out to be faster than the GeForce RTX 3060, this does not mean that in real applications (games, of course) there will be a championship for Intel GPUs. Unfortunately, the company is not very good at software optimization. It’s also possible that laptops with Arc A770M are significantly more expensive than laptops with GeForce RTX 3060.
