Arc A580 vs Arc A380: In-Depth Breakdown
Performance: Arc A580 vs Arc A380
The Arc A580 is dramatically faster, around 167% ahead of the Arc A380. That gap is enough to move it up a tier: the Arc A580 is comfortable at 1080p, while the Arc A380 is better matched to entry-level 1080p. The Arc A580 packs 3,072 shading units versus 1,024 on the Arc A380. The Arc A580 also has more RT cores (24 vs 8) and more AI cores (384 vs 128), strengthening its ray-tracing and AI-upscaling performance.
Price & Value
The Arc A380 currently lists from $861 AED, $285 AED less than the Arc A580 at $1,146 AED. Because it's both faster and competitively priced, the Arc A580 wins on performance-per-dollar by about 100%. The Arc A380 still sits about $722 AED above its $139 AED MSRP. The Arc A580 still sits about $967 AED above its $179 AED MSRP.
Power & Efficiency
On power, the Arc A380 is the gentler choice at 75W versus 175W. The Arc A580 is more efficient per watt because it's faster, but its higher 175W draw means more heat and a bigger PSU.
VRAM & Future-Proofing
The Arc A580 carries 8GB versus 6GB on the Arc A380. The extra 2GB helps at 4K, with high-resolution texture packs, and for content-creation or local-AI workloads that exhaust smaller buffers. The Arc A580's memory is also faster — 512 GB/s versus 186 GB/s (256-bit vs 96-bit bus) — which helps feed the GPU at 4K and with heavy textures.
Which should you buy: Arc A380 or Arc A580?
The Arc A580 is the all-round winner here — it's faster and the better value, so buy it if it fits your budget. Only consider the Arc A380 if you find it at a steep discount.
