RTX 4050 vs Arc A380: paper specs suggest Intel wins for local LLM, but does it?
regunakyle · reddit · 2026-11-06
A Reddit user compares two 6GB GDDR6 GPUs for llama.cpp quantized inference: the RTX 4050 mobile offers 192 GB/s bandwidth and 143.8 INT4 TOPS, while the Intel Arc A380 doubles FP16 throughput at 33.59 TFLOPS with 186 GB/s bandwidth. On paper Intel looks better, but the poster asks how to properly reason about raw GPU stats, acknowledging CUDA's optimization edge over Vulkan/OpenVINO/SYCL.
