About the AMD FirePro W5170M GPU

The AMD FirePro W5170M is an end-of-life mobile graphics card that released in Q3 2014. It is built on the GCN 1.0 GPU microarchitecture (codename Tropo) and is manufactured on a 28 nm process.

Memory

The FirePro W5170M has 2 GB of GDDR5 memory, with a 1,125 MHz memory clock and a 128 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 72 Gb/s, which affects how fast it can transfer data to and from memory. GPU memory stores temporary data that helps the GPU with complex math and graphics operations. More memory is generally better, as not having enough can cause performance bottlenecks.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The FirePro W5170M includes 640 stream processors (SPs), the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 900 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 925 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 40 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 16 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing.

Benchmark Performance

The FirePro W5170M has the 270th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 4.01% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.

About the Intel Arc A350M GPU

The Intel Arc A350M is a mobile graphics card that launched in Q1 2022. It is built on the Generation 12.7 GPU microarchitecture (codename DG2-128) and is manufactured on a 6 nm process.

Memory

The Arc A350M has 4 GB of GDDR6 memory, with a 1,750 MHz memory clock and a 64 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 112 Gb/s, which affects how fast it can transfer data to and from memory. GPU memory stores temporary data that helps the GPU with complex math and graphics operations. More memory is generally better, as not having enough can cause performance bottlenecks.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The Arc A350M includes 768 shading units, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 1,150 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 2,200 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 48 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 24 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing. Additionally, the GPU features 96 Xe Matrix Extensions (XMX) optimized for AI workloads and 6 ray tracing units dedicated to real-time ray tracing calculations.

Compatibility & Power Consumption

The GPU has a thermal design power (TDP) of 25 W. A power supply not strong enough to handle this might result in system crashes and potentially damage your hardware.

Benchmark Performance

The Arc A350M has the 173rd best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 10.26% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.
