Intel Arc A310 — Benchmarks & Specs

4 GB VRAM

Short answer: the Intel Arc A310 generates 13.4 tokens/sec on llama3.2:3b (q4_K_M) under llama.cpp in a single cited run, per Jeff Geerling ai-benchmarks; there are too few comparable runs on file for a median. Its 4 GB of VRAM holds up to Llama 3.2 3B at Q4_K_M with an ~8K context, by the Will-It-Run matrix's sizing (2 of 23 models fit).

Fits in 4 GB up to Llama 3.2 3B at Q4_K_M → at ~8K context; 2 of 23 models in the Will-It-Run matrix

Bottom line: how fast is the Intel Arc A310?

At 1080p Medium, the Intel Arc A310 averages 260 fps in Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown with a 103 fps 1% low, per Notebookcheck. For local LLM inference it generates 13.4 tokens/sec running llama3.2:3b at q4_K_M under llama.cpp, per Jeff Geerling ai-benchmarks. In vkmark it scores 10,885 points, per Jeff Geerling ai-benchmarks. Its 4 GB of VRAM is the binding constraint for local inference: the llama3.2:3b run above (3.2B parameters) is the largest model on file at 4-bit quantization on this card. That run used a 512-token context; the Will-It-Run matrix sizes each model at its listed quantization with an ~8K context, and by that measure Llama 3.2 3B at Q4_K_M is the largest that fits in 4 GB.

Every figure above is a row in the tables below, and each row links out to the review or public benchmark database the number was taken from. SpecPicks aggregates published measurements; it does not report first-party benchmark runs.

Check what fits in 4 GB: by Q4-class file size, 2 of the 23 open-weight models in the SpecPicks Will-It-Run matrix load entirely into the Intel Arc A310's 4 GB with 1.5 GB left for an ~8K context, up to Llama 3.2 3B (a 2 GB Q4_K_M file per its Hugging Face listing).

AI Inference Performance

Tokens per second under each model + quantization. Higher = faster generation. Bars compare runs across the same model.

Local LLM inference throughput on the Intel Arc A310, in generated tokens per second for a single request (one user's generation speed). Higher is better; each row links to the community report or benchmark database it came from.

Synthetic Benchmarks

Higher is better. Bars are scaled within each benchmark family (multi-thread, single-thread, etc.) so you can compare like-with-like at a glance.

Synthetic benchmark scores for the Intel Arc A310 — higher is better. Each row links to the public database the number was taken from. A benchmark listed more than once is separate published results, shown as published rather than averaged.
