Arc A350M: specs and benchmarks
Aggregated performance score
It provides poor gaming and benchmark performance at 14.15% of a leader's which is GeForce RTX 4090.
Summary
Intel started Arc A350M sales 30 March 2022. 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. 4 GB of GDDR6 memory clocked at 14 GHz are supplied, and together with 64 Bit memory interface this creates a bandwidth of 96 GB/s.
Compatibility-wise, this is card attached via PCIe 4.0 x8 interface. Power consumption is at 35 Watt (25 - 35 Watt TGP).

Size and compatibility
Information on Arc A350M'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 |
Memory
Parameters of memory installed on Arc A350M: 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 | 4 GB | of 192 (Radeon Instinct MI300X) |
| Memory bus width | 64 Bit | of 8192 (Radeon Instinct MI250X) |
| Memory clock speed | 14000 MHz | of 23000 (GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER) |
| Memory bandwidth | 96 GB/s | of 3276 (Aldebaran) |
| Shared memory | - |
Video outputs and ports
Types and number of video connectors present on Arc A350M. 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 | No outputs |
API support
APIs supported by Arc A350M, sometimes including their particular versions.
| DirectX | 12 Ultimate (12_2) | |
| Shader Model | 6.6 | |
| OpenGL | 4.6 | |
| OpenCL | 3.0 | |
| Vulkan | 1.3 |

3DMark Vantage Performance
3DMark Vantage is an outdated DirectX 10 benchmark using 1280x1024 screen resolution. It taxes the graphics card with two scenes, one depicting a girl escaping some militarized base located within a sea cave, the other displaying a space fleet attack on a defenseless planet. It was discontinued in April 2017, and Time Spy benchmark is now recommended to be used instead.
Benchmark coverage: 17%
3DMark 11 Performance GPU
3DMark 11 is an obsolete DirectX 11 benchmark by Futuremark. It used four tests based on two scenes, one being few submarines exploring the submerged wreck of a sunken ship, the other is an abandoned temple deep in the jungle. All the tests are heavy with volumetric lighting and tessellation, and despite being done in 1280x720 resolution, are relatively taxing. Discontinued in January 2020, 3DMark 11 is now superseded by Time Spy.
Benchmark coverage: 17%
3DMark Fire Strike Graphics
Fire Strike is a DirectX 11 benchmark for gaming PCs. It features two separate tests displaying a fight between a humanoid and a fiery creature made of lava. Using 1920x1080 resolution, Fire Strike shows off some realistic graphics and is quite taxing on hardware.
Benchmark coverage: 14%
3DMark Cloud Gate GPU
Cloud Gate is an outdated DirectX 11 feature level 10 benchmark that was used for home PCs and basic notebooks. It displays a few scenes of some weird space teleportation device launching spaceships into unknown, using fixed resolution of 1280x720. Just like Ice Storm benchmark, it has been discontinued in January 2020 and replaced by 3DMark Night Raid.
