Intel Arc A730M vs Arc A380: In-Depth Breakdown

Performance: Intel Arc A730M vs Arc A380

The Intel Arc A730M is dramatically faster, around 200% ahead of the Arc A380. That gap is enough to move it up a tier: the Intel Arc A730M is comfortable at 1080p, while the Arc A380 is better matched to entry-level 1080p. The Intel Arc A730M packs 3,072 shading units versus 1,024 on the Arc A380. The Intel Arc A730M also has more RT cores (24 vs 8) and more AI cores (384 vs 128), strengthening its ray-tracing and AI-upscaling performance.

Power & Efficiency

The Arc A380 pulls less power (75W vs 120W), so it's the easier card to cool and the lighter load on your PSU. The faster Intel Arc A730M draws more overall but extracts more performance from each watt — plan for a sturdier power supply if you pick it.

VRAM & Future-Proofing

With 12GB against 6GB, the Intel Arc A730M has more headroom for 4K textures and memory-hungry creative/AI tasks where the Arc A380's 6GB can fall short. The Intel Arc A730M's memory is also faster — 336 GB/s versus 186 GB/s (192-bit vs 96-bit bus) — which helps feed the GPU at 4K and with heavy textures.

Which should you buy: Arc A380 or Intel Arc A730M?

The Intel Arc A730M is the faster card by about 200%. With live pricing limited for this pair, base your decision on the spec differences above — particularly VRAM and power draw — and check current stock before buying.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Intel Arc A730M better than the Arc A380?

The Intel Arc A730M is dramatically faster, roughly 200% ahead. If your budget allows, it's the stronger pick.

Which is better for 4K gaming, the Arc A380 or the Intel Arc A730M?

Neither is a dedicated 4K card; both are best at 1080p. For 4K you'd want a faster GPU, or lean on upscaling.

Does the Intel Arc A730M have enough VRAM advantage to matter?

Its 12GB (vs 6GB) gives real headroom for 4K, heavy texture mods, and creative/AI work. At 1080p the gap matters less.

Which is better for ray tracing, the Intel Arc A730M or the Arc A380?

Both handle ray tracing, but the Intel Arc A730M has more RT cores, giving it better ray-tracing and AI-upscaling performance than the Arc A380.
