Intel's Arc A380 Performs Even Worse With an AMD CPU

According to fresh benchmark numbers from someone on bilibili, Intel's Arc A380 cards perform even worse when paired with an AMD CPU compared to when paired with an Intel CPU. The card was tested using an AMD Ryzen 5 5600 on an ASUS TUF B550M motherboard paired with 16 GB of DDR4 3600 MHz memory. The Intel system it was tested against consisted of a Core i5-12400 on an ASUS TUF B660M motherboard with the same type of memory. Both test systems had resizable BAR support set to auto and above 4G decoding enabled. Windows 11 21H2 was also installed on both systems.

In every single game out of the 10 games tested, except League of Legends, the AMD system was behind the Intel system by anything from a mere one percent to as much as 15 percent. The worst performance disadvantage was in Forza Horizon 5 and Total War Three Kingdoms, both were 14 to 15 percent behind. The games that were tested, in order of the graph below are: League of Legends, Dota 2, Rainbow 6 Extraction, Watch Dogs Legions, Far Cry 6, Assassin's Creed Valhalla, Total War Three Kingdoms, Shadow of the Tomb Raider, CS:GO and Forza Horizon 5. For comparison, an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 was also used, but only tested on the Intel based system and the Arc A380 only beat it on Total War Three Kingdoms, albeit by a seven percent margin. It appears Intel has a lot of work to do when it comes to its drivers, but at last right now, mixing Intel Arc graphics cards and AMD processors seems to be a bad idea.

OneMoaralso the A380 is barely keeping up with a GTX1650 a fucking entry level card from 3 years ago why the fuck are we not discussing that
Well thats it, this is yet another article about the infinite number of items an A380 is worse on or with :D

OneMoarNo shit sherlock because amd cpus are a bit slower in cpu bound 1080p tests then the latest from intel with the exception of the 5800X3D
nothing todo with drivers you are testing at 1080p where you are cpu limited the system with the faster cpu/buss will always win

why tpu keeps posting this clickbait bullshit targeted at stirring up the uninformed is beyond me
They should compare to say a 9900k or similar skylake with rebar, and see if the trend holds.
