Graphics Performance
The A10G scores 13,598 in the G3D Mark benchmark (the standard measure of rasterization GPU performance), placing it in the Mid-Range tier as a Aging generation graphics card. It is built on the Ampere architecture (codename: GA102), manufactured on a 8 nm process— smaller process nodes improve power efficiency and transistor density. It packs 9216 shader units (the primary compute units for rendering pixels), 288 TMUs (texture mapping units), and 96 ROPs (render output units that handle final pixel output). Raw FP32 compute power: 31.52 TFLOPS — this measures the theoretical peak floating-point performance. Boost clock reaches 1710 MHz from a base of 1320 MHz.
