Graphics Performance
The Arc B580 scores 15,977 in the G3D Mark benchmark (the standard measure of rasterization GPU performance), placing it in the High-End tier as a Recent generation graphics card. It is built on the Xe2 Battlemage architecture (codename: BMG-G21), manufactured on a 5 nm process— smaller process nodes improve power efficiency and transistor density. It packs 2560 shader units (the primary compute units for rendering pixels), 160 TMUs (texture mapping units), and 80 ROPs (render output units that handle final pixel output). Raw FP32 compute power: 13.67 TFLOPS — this measures the theoretical peak floating-point performance. Boost clock reaches 2670 MHz from a base of 2670 MHz.
