Graphics Performance
The Arc A310 scores 5,438 in the G3D Mark benchmark (the standard measure of rasterization GPU performance), placing it in the Budget tier as a Aging generation graphics card. It is built on the Generation 12.7 (2022−2023) architecture (codename: DG2-128), manufactured on a 6 nm process— smaller process nodes improve power efficiency and transistor density. It packs 768 shader units (the primary compute units for rendering pixels), 32 TMUs (texture mapping units), and 16 ROPs (render output units that handle final pixel output). Raw FP32 compute power: 3.072 TFLOPS — this measures the theoretical peak floating-point performance. Boost clock reaches 2000 MHz from a base of 2000 MHz.
