Intel Arc A380 — Benchmarks & Specs

6 GB VRAM75W TDP$139 MSRP2022

Short answer: the Intel Arc A380 generates 24.0 tokens/sec on llama-2-7b (Q4_0) under llama.cpp in a single cited run, per llama.cpp GitHub Discussion; there are too few comparable runs on file for a median. Its 6 GB of VRAM holds up to Mistral 7B at Q4_K_M with an ~8K context, by the Will-It-Run matrix's sizing (3 of 23 models fit).

Bottom line: how fast is the Intel Arc A380?

At 1440p Ultra, the Intel Arc A380 averages 32 fps in Far Cry 6, per Tom's Hardware. For local LLM inference it generates 24.0 tokens/sec running llama-2-7b at Q4_0 under llama.cpp, per llama.cpp GitHub Discussion. In 3DMark Fire Strike it scores 9,402–9,728 points, across two published results (Notebookcheck GPU benchmark listing, Geeks3D). Its 6 GB of VRAM is the binding constraint for local inference: the largest model on file at 4-bit quantization on this card is llama3.1:8b (8B parameters, q4_K_M), generating 18.7 tokens/sec under ollama, per machinezoo blog. That run used a 10,240-token context; the Will-It-Run matrix sizes each model at its listed quantization with an ~8K context, and by that measure Mistral 7B at Q4_K_M is the largest that fits in 6 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.

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 A380, 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.
