Performance comparison: which is faster?
Intel Arc A380 6GB (Intel, 2022) and HD Graphics 630 (Intel, 2017) are compared here. Compare scores and VRAM, generative AI usability, and CPUs that pair well with each GPU.
Overall performance: Arc A380 6GB is about 478.9% faster
For generative AI, the higher-VRAM Arc A380 6GB（6GB） has the advantage. For gaming, prioritize performance score and CPU compatibility; for AI, prioritize VRAM.
Relative performance score (higher is faster). Actual fps varies by resolution, game, and CPU configuration.
| Item | Arc A380 6GB | HD Graphics 630 |
|---|---|---|
| Performance Score | 5,500 | 950 |
| VRAM | 6GB | Shared |
| Manufacturer | Intel | Intel |
| Series | Arc | Integrated |
| Release Year | 2022 | 2017 |
| Compatible CPU Example | AMD FX-4300 | Core 2 Quad Q6600 |
These generative AI models can run on only one GPU because of the VRAM difference (Stable Diffusion, Flux, LLMs, and others).
— None (all models that run on Arc A380 6GB also run here)
| If You Want To... | Recommended |
|---|---|
| Prioritize high fps and smooth performance in demanding games | Arc A380 6GB |
| Run larger generative AI and LLM models | Arc A380 6GB |
| Prioritize value and adequate performance | HD Graphics 630 (the lower model is often sufficient) |
Arc A380 6GB is about 478.9% higher by score (Arc A380 6GB: 5500 points / HD Graphics 630: 950 points). Actual fps also varies by resolution, game, and CPU, so price is a reasonable deciding factor when the gap is only a few percent.
Arc A380 6GB has 6GB of VRAM, while HD Graphics 630 has Shared; Arc A380 6GB has more. If image generation or a local LLM is even a possibility, the higher-VRAM option provides more room.
Using our guideline, AMD FX-4300 pairs well with Arc A380 6GB and Core 2 Quad Q6600 with HD Graphics 630 (CPU:GPU ≈ 0.9:1). If the CPU is too weak, replacing the GPU may not raise fps, so check the combination before buying.
