Intel Arc A380 Gains Ethereum Mining Support Reaching 10.2 MH/s

Uskompuf · Aug 29, 2022

The Intel Arc A380 has recently been tested for crypto mining performance after support for the card was added in the latest release of Nanominer. The card achieved a hash rate of 10.2 MH/s while mining Ethereum Classic (ETC) without any optimizations at a TDP of 75 W equating to 0.136 MH/s per Watt which is significantly below other popular mining cards which can reach 0.38 MH/s per Watt. This limited performance can be partially attributed to the availability of only 8 Xe-Cores and the relatively small 96-bit memory bus. The card will struggle to mine Ethereum due to its limited 6 GB of VRAM while Ethereum Classic should work fine as demonstrated.

Just as Proof-of-Stake was announced in just over 2 weeks lmao.

Ethereum Classic is not Going Proof-of Stake.

The card will struggle to mine Ethereum due to its limited 6 GB of VRAM while Ethereum Classic should work fine as demonstrated.

At 10 MH/s I would say it is even struggling with ETC. For a point of reference, my RX 570 gets 31.48 MH/s with ETC.

This is one thing ARC doing well so far, being bad at crypto.

Cool! Just in time for the migration from PoW to PoS.

Kudos, intel!

Finally something that Intel did right? Gimpy cards that can’t mine, and late enough to the party that it doesn’t matter?

finaallly intel cards are good for something

but may be their ARC 5 & 7 will tell a different stories

Your card is infinitely better, in general performance, than that 380.

Sounds terrible for 75 watts, but it's important to consider the effect drivers have.
Polaris cards also do poorly if the driver isn't set to "compute mode".
ETH mining probably isn't going to drive their GPU sales like it did for AMD and NVIDIA, so why would they worry about hashrate?
Considering that, 10.2MH/s is like half of a 1060's hashrate at the similar power consumption- not impresseive at all for the 186GB/s memory bandwidth.

"other popular mining cards which can reach 0.38 MH/s per Watt"
.38 isn't even that good.
RX 6600 = .45
RTX 3070 = .52

I see this as a positive thing. I wouldnt want another crypto craze ruining the GPU market.

arc750 can do 30MH/s with 105W... it's on YouTube. 380 is the biggest Intel lowend...anyone has video about 770?
