Intel Arc A380 Performs Pretty Bad with AMD CPUs
A recent set of benchmarks found on bilibili, Intel's Arc A380 cards perform more rancid with an AMD Ryzen 5 5600 than with an Core i5-12400 CPU. The card was tested on an ASUS TUF B550M motherboard with 16 GB of DDR4 3600 MHz RAM.
Both test platforms enable auto-resizable BARs and 4G decoding. Both machines were running Windows 11 21H2. With the exception of League of Legends, AMD trailed Intel by 1% to 15% in every of the 10 gamer. Forza Horizon 5 and Total War: Three Kingdoms trailed by 14 to 15%. 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 were all put through rigorous testing. An NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 was also tested, but solely on the Intel-based machine, and the Arc A380 outperformed it by 7% in Total War Three Kingdoms. Combining Intel Arc graphics cards and AMD processors appears to be a bad idea (for the time being).

Intel making all the wrong choices when it comes to Arc. This is going downhill very rapidly.

I don't think is on purpose.
But i bet that the priority assignment to amd related optimization will be always low.
Also isn't 1-10% the generic edge higher speed clocked intels have on amd?

Also without knowing how the gtx1650 is doing on both cpu seems pointless.

If this is on purpose, I can't see it as a good decision. Intel discrete GPUs aren't in a strong position (actually in no position for the time being), so Intel should do everything within their power to make sure they are as attractive to every single customer as possible. Although if Intel plans to have them found only inside prebuilt OEM PCs, it doesn't matter so much. It's a foregone conclusion the OEMs would get better deals with both the CPU and GPU from Intel. However, with potential customers with an existing PC they are otherwise happy with but only want to upgrade the graphics card, this would be a bad game plan. You never know, but I guess this is just one sign of the Intel drivers being in a bad shape, which would be one more reason for the repeated postponement of the release. If Intel can't get the drivers up to the expected functionality on their own Intel PCs, getting them there on AMD PCs would be a secondary priority.
