Arc A530M: specs and benchmarks
Summary
Intel started Arc A530M sales 31 July 2023. This is a laptop graphics card based on a Xe HPG architecture and made with 6 nm manufacturing process. It is primarily aimed at gamers. 8 GB of GDDR6 memory clocked at 14 GHz are supplied, and together with 128 Bit memory interface this creates a bandwidth of 224.0 GB/s.
Compatibility-wise, this is card attached via PCIe 4.0 x8 interface. Power consumption is at 65 Watt (65 - 95 Watt TGP).

Form Factor & Compatibility
Information on Arc A530M's compatibility with other computer components. Useful when choosing a future computer configuration or upgrading an existing one. For notebook video cards it's notebook size, connection slot and bus, if the video card is inserted into a slot instead of being soldered to the notebook motherboard.
Interface | PCIe 4.0 x8 |
VRAM Capacity and Type
Parameters of memory installed on Arc A530M: its type, size, bus, clock and resulting bandwidth. Note that GPUs integrated into processors have no dedicated memory and use a shared part of system RAM instead.
Memory type | GDDR6 | |
Maximum RAM amount | 8 GB | of 192 (Radeon Instinct MI300X) |
Memory bus width | 128 Bit | of 8192 (Radeon Instinct MI250X) |
Memory clock speed | 14000 MHz | of 23000 (GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER) |
Memory bandwidth | 224.0 GB/s | of 3276 (Aldebaran) |

Connectivity and Outputs
Types and number of video connectors present on Arc A530M. As a rule, this section is relevant only for desktop reference graphics cards, since for notebook ones the availability of certain video outputs depends on the laptop model, while non-reference desktop models can (though not necessarily will) bear a different set of video ports.
Display Connectors | Portable Device Dependent |
API Compatibility
APIs supported by Arc A530M, sometimes including their particular versions.
DirectX | 12 Ultimate (12_2) | |
Shader Model | 6.6 | |

Benchmark performance
Synthetic benchmark performance of Arc A530M. The combined score is measured on a 0-100 point scale.
Passmark
This is the most ubiquitous GPU benchmark, part of Passmark PerformanceTest suite. It gives the graphics card a thorough evaluation under various types of load, providing four separate benchmarks for Direct3D versions 9, 10, 11 and 12 (the last being done in 4K resolution if possible), and few more tests engaging DirectCompute capabilities.
