Despite countless rumors suggesting that the Intel Arc A370M would only be competitive with previous generation GPUs, it is much faster than we initially thought. According to the official benchmarks that we can see in PCWorld, the A370M can go head-to-head with the Nvidia RTX 3050 mobile GPU in gaming and productivity.
One of the benchmarks carried out was the 3DMark Time Spy, where the Intel Arc A370M scored 4,405 points, Similar numbers to those given by the HP Specter x360 with 3,772 points, and the Asus Vivobook Pro 15 OLED with 4,396 points, both equipped with the RTX 3050.
In addition to the 3DMark benchmark, they tested some games to assess how Intel’s new graphics card should perform in this regard. The games tested were: Final Fantasy XIV: Endwalker on par with the RTX 3050, Shadow of the Tomb Raider averaging 59 FPS (1080p and high settings), and Metro Exodus Enhanced Edition averaging 19 FPS (1080p and high settings). tall graphics).
Finally, the portal also ran the Topaz Video Enhance AI test, a tool that serves to improve the quality of videos and focuses on content creation. In this case, machines powered by the Intel Arc A370M managed to outperform notebooks powered by NVIDIA’s RTX 3050.
These tests are good news for the new Intel GPUs. It shows that even its entry-level products are not as slow as we thought and can run on par with Nvidia’s latest RTX 3050 GPUs.
