Tom’s Hardware has received an official analytical guide from Intel focused on the Intel Arc A730 and A770M graphics solutions for notebooks, two GPUs that are embedded in what we can consider middle bandif we value this categorization based on the performance they offer, because the source of this information speaks of a high-end device, but when I see that the gross performance falls between the GeForce RTX 3050 Ti Mobile and GeForce RTX 3060 Mobile, I don’t think it’s right to place it on this level.

When we look at its specifications, we see that the Intel Arc A730M has 24 cores Xe (384 ALU), has 24 cores to accelerate ray tracing, runs at speeds up to 1,100 MHz, has a 192-bit bus and has 12 GB of GDDR6 memory. The Intel Arc A770M has been more powerful ever since 32 cores Xe (512 ALU), adds 32 cores to speed up ray tracing, runs at 1,650 MHz, has a 256-bit memory bus, and has 16 GB of GDDR6 memory.

It is important to keep in mind that the performance tests performed by Intel do not start with identical configurations, which means that in the end we have elements that introduce inconsistencies and cause differences in performance. due to different device configuration. For example, a team based on the GeForce RTX 3050 Ti Mobile mounted the Core i7-11800H, while the model that came with the Intel Arc A730M used the Intel Core i7-12700H and DDR5.

The differences between the GeForce RTX 3060 Mobile equipment used and the Intel Arc A770M model were also quite large. He was accompanied by a Intel Core i9-12900HK and DDR5 memory, while the notebook that brought the GeForce RTX 3060 Mobile had a Core i7-11800H and used DDR4 memory. The TGP used by the GeForce RTX 3050 Ti Mobile and RTX 3060 Mobile was also not particularly high, with the first running at 60 watts and the second being a low power version with an TGP of 85 watts.

Intel Arc A730M and A770M performance

As we can see in the attached table, the Intel Arc A730M playfully outperforms the GeForce RTX 3050 Ti Mobile, although not in all cases wins and ultimately the average difference between the two is only 13% in favor of Arc Alchemist. Intel has not specified the power consumption of this graphics card in this comparison, but we know that it can range from 80 to 120 watts, so even at its basic value, it consumes 20 watts higher than the GeForce RTX 3050 Ti Mobile.

As for the Intel Arc A770M, it outperforms the GeForce RTX 3060 Mobile by an average of 12%, but again we have the question of consumption. Overall, we know that the Intel Arc A770M is between 120 and 150 wattsand the NVIDIA graphics solution is only 85 watts. Despite the discrepancies in configurations and power consumption, I think we can finally conclude an important conclusion, namely that in the same configurations, both in terms of components and power consumption, the Intel Arc A730M and Intel Arc A770M will be more or less at the GeForce RTX 3050 Ti level. and GeForce RTX 3060 Mobile.

It is important to note that in the case of Intel graphics solutions it is possible that the drivers are still a bit unfinished, and that the performance of these will be improved when said drivers receive the necessary improvements and modifications, i.e. when they are fully polished.
