Radeon RX 480 vs Arc A380 comparison

In our benchmarks, the Arc A380 beats the Radeon RX 480 in gaming performance.

In our comparison, the Radeon RX 480 has a significantly higher core clock speed. The core clock speed (or base speed) is the frequency at which the GPU core runs. This metric makes sense when comparing GPUs of a similar architecture or generation. Despite this, the Arc A380 has a significantly higher boost clock speed. The boost clock speed is the frequency that the GPU core can reach if the temperature is low enough. The allows for higher performance in certain scenarios.

In addition, the Arc A380 has a significantly lower TDP at 75 W when compared to the Radeon RX 480 at 150 W. Heat output doesn't match power consumption directly but, it's a good estimate.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the Arc A380 is faster than the Radeon RX 480.
