About the Intel Arc A730M GPU

The Intel Arc A730M is a mobile graphics card that launched in 2022. It is built on the Generation 12.7 GPU microarchitecture (codename DG2-512) and is manufactured on a 6 nm process.

Memory

The Arc A730M has 12 GB of GDDR6 memory, with a 1,750 MHz memory clock and a 192 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 336 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 A730M includes 3,072 shading units, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 1,100 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 2,050 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 192 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 96 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing. Additionally, the GPU features 384 Xe Matrix Extensions (XMX) optimized for AI workloads and 24 ray tracing units dedicated to real-time ray tracing calculations.

Compatibility & Power Consumption

The GPU has a thermal design power (TDP) of 80 W. A power supply not strong enough to handle this might result in system crashes and potentially damage your hardware.

Benchmark Performance

The Arc A730M has the 96th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 567 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 22.46% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090.

About the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 GPU

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 is a desktop graphics card that launched in Q1 2025 with a MSRP of $1,999. It is built on the Blackwell 2.0 GPU microarchitecture (codename GB202) and is manufactured on a 5 nm process.

Memory

The RTX 5090 has 32 GB of GDDR7 memory, with a 1,750 MHz memory clock and a 512 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 1.79 Tb/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 RTX 5090 includes 21,760 CUDA cores, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 2,017 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 2,407 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 680 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 176 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing. Additionally, the GPU features 680 tensor cores optimized for AI-accelerated workloads and 170 RT cores dedicated to real-time ray tracing calculations.

Compatibility & Power Consumption

The RTX 5090 occupies 2 PCIe expansion slots. It supports HDMI 2.1b, DisplayPort 2.1b display connections. NVIDIA recommends a power supply of at least 950 W to handle the GPU's thermal design power (TDP) of 575 W.

Benchmark Performance & Value

The RTX 5090 has the best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 567 benchmarked GPUs in our database. Its 129,772 score and $1,999 launch price (MSRP) gives it a performance per dollar of 64.92. This is the 61st best in value for the 3DMark 11 Performance GPU benchmark.
