About the AMD Radeon HD 6850M GPU
The AMD Radeon HD 6850M is an end-of-life mobile graphics card that released in Q1 2011. It is built on the TeraScale 2 GPU microarchitecture (codename Granville) and is manufactured on a 40 nm process.
Memory
The HD 6850M has 1,024 MB of GDDR3 memory, with a 800 MHz memory clock and a 128 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 25.6 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 HD 6850M includes 800 stream processors (SPs), the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 675 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 40 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 16 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing.
Compatibility & Power Consumption
The GPU has a thermal design power (TDP) of 50 W. A power supply not strong enough to handle this might result in system crashes and potentially damage your hardware.
Benchmark Performance
The HD 6850M has the 409th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 1.40% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.
About the Intel Arc A750 GPU
The Intel Arc A750 is a desktop graphics card that launched in Q4 2022 with a MSRP of $289. It is built on the Generation 12.7 GPU microarchitecture (codename DG2-512) and is manufactured on a 6 nm process.
Memory
The Arc A750 has 8 GB of GDDR6 memory, with a 2,000 MHz memory clock and a 256 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 512 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 A750 includes 3,584 shading units, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 2,050 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 2,400 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 224 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 112 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing. Additionally, the GPU features 448 Xe Matrix Extensions (XMX) optimized for AI workloads and 28 ray tracing units dedicated to real-time ray tracing calculations.
Compatibility & Power Consumption
The Arc A750 occupies 2 PCIe expansion slots. It supports HDMI 2.1, DisplayPort 2.0 display connections. Intel recommends a power supply of at least 550 W to handle the GPU's thermal design power (TDP) of 225 W.
Benchmark Performance & Value
The Arc A750 has the 49th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 35.65% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090. Its 37,288 score and $289 launch price (MSRP) gives it a performance per dollar of 129.02. This is the 3rd best in value for the 3DMark 11 Performance GPU benchmark.
