Intel Arc A580 goals at Radeon RX 6600 and GeForce RTX 3050, whereas NVIDIA gears as much as launch an excellent slower RTX 3050
RTX 3050 6GB vs. Arc A580, Supply: @momomo_us
Immediately, a brand new slide has surfaced unveiling Intel’s long-forgotten Arc A580 GPU, accompanied by two customized fashions derived from this explicit SKU. As beforehand talked about in our earlier report, the A580 was formally introduced final yr however has not been made accessible till now. The lately leaked slide, credited to @momomo_us, means that Intel did certainly make some slight changes to the specs, though these modifications are comparatively minor.
In Intel’s discrete GPU lineup, the A580 with its 24 Xe-Cores is about to change into the primary and solely A5 mannequin. This addition will firmly set up the Alchemist lineup with a fifth SKU, that includes a board energy score of 185W. Notably, the TBP (Whole Board Energy) is the facet that has been altered from the initially disclosed 2022 specs, which initially indicated a 175W score.
These extra 10 watts of energy are what Intel deemed essential to compete with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 and AMD Radeon RX 6600 fashions, as per the data offered within the official slide, making them direct comparable by way of product choices:

Curiously, one other slide which exhibits a roadmap for all Intel Arc merchandise seems to substantiate that solely two manufacturers are planing A580 GPU, Sparkle and ASRock, each fashions have been leaked earlier in the present day.

NVIDIA with RTX 3050 6GB
NVIDIA doesn’t look like fazed by this growth on the Intel camp, as there are stories suggesting that they’re actively engaged on an excellent much less highly effective RTX 3050 mannequin. This card, which some argue shouldn’t bear the RTX 3050 title, is rumored to be geared up with the GA107-325 GPU variant, a departure from the GA106-150 used within the 2022 mannequin. Most notably, it’s anticipated to have a decrease enhance clock pace of 1470 MHz, representing roughly a 20% lower in efficiency.
Moreover, it’s speculated that this card will characteristic a narrower 96-bit reminiscence bus, versus the earlier 128-bit configuration, leading to a discount in reminiscence bandwidth. Moreover, the reminiscence capability is predicted to be lowered to 6GB from the earlier 8GB. The one facet that also stays unconfirmed is the particular configuration of the GPU core.
