Arc A580

Arc A580 Specifications

The Arc A580 is based on the Xe HPG architecture and manufactured using the 6 nm process node. It was launched approximately 1 year, 6 months ago, originally priced at $0. It features 3072 cores, including 32 compute units (SMs), 192 texture mapping units (TMUs), and 96 render output units (ROPs). For ray tracing and AI-accelerated tasks, it also includes 24 dedicated RT cores and 384 Tensor cores, enabling advanced rendering and upscaling features where supported. It has a base clock of 1700 MHz and a boost clock reaching up to 2000 MHz. The Arc A580 comes equipped with 8 GB of GDDR6 memory across a 256-bit bus. Memory runs at 2000 MHz and delivers a total memory bandwidth of 512 GB/s.

This GPU has a low thermal design power (TDP) of 175 W. It is generally compatible with almost all PC cases and is excellent for SFF and compact systems where heat dissipation is a concern.
