About the Intel Arc B580 GPU

The Intel Arc B580 is a desktop graphics card that launched in Q4 2024 with a MSRP of $249. It is built on the Xe2 GPU microarchitecture (codename BMG-G21) and is manufactured on a 5 nm process.

Memory

The Arc B580 has 12 GB of GDDR6 memory, with a 2,375 MHz memory clock and a 192 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 456 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 B580 includes 2,560 shading units, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 2,670 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 2,670 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 160 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 80 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing. Additionally, the GPU features 160 Xe Matrix Extensions (XMX) optimized for AI workloads and 20 ray tracing units dedicated to real-time ray tracing calculations.

Compatibility & Power Consumption

The Arc B580 occupies 2 PCIe expansion slots. It supports HDMI 2.1a, DisplayPort 2.1 display connections. Intel recommends a power supply of at least 450 W to handle the GPU's thermal design power (TDP) of 190 W.

Benchmark Performance & Value

The Arc B580 has the 56th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 566 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 29.48% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090. Its 38,258 score and $249 launch price (MSRP) gives it a performance per dollar of 153.65. This is the 5th best in value for the 3DMark 11 Performance GPU benchmark.

About the NVIDIA RTX 6000 Ada Generation GPU

The NVIDIA RTX 6000 Ada Generation is a workstation graphics card that launched in Q1 2023 with a MSRP of $6,799. It is built on the Ada Lovelace GPU microarchitecture (codename AD102) and is manufactured on a 5 nm process.

Memory

The RTX 6000 Ada Generation has 48 GB of GDDR6 memory, with a 2,500 MHz memory clock and a 384 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 960 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 RTX 6000 Ada Generation includes 18,176 CUDA cores, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 915 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 2,505 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 568 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 192 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing. Additionally, the GPU features 568 tensor cores optimized for AI-accelerated workloads and 142 RT cores dedicated to real-time ray tracing calculations.

Compatibility & Power Consumption

The RTX 6000 Ada Generation occupies 2 PCIe expansion slots. It supports DisplayPort 1.4a display connections. NVIDIA recommends a power supply of at least 700 W to handle the GPU's thermal design power (TDP) of 300 W.

Benchmark Performance & Value

The RTX 6000 Ada Generation has the 15th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 566 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 54.60% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090. Its 70,850 score and $6,799 launch price (MSRP) gives it a performance per dollar of 10.42. This is the 110th best in value for the 3DMark 11 Performance GPU benchmark.
