Intel HD Graphics 400 (Braswell) vs NVIDIA RTX A6000 vs 4x NVIDIA RTX A6000

Intel HD Graphics 400 (Braswell)

The Intel HD Graphics 400 (Braswell)  is an integrated graphics card in the low end SoCs of the Braswell series (2016 Celeron models). It is based on the same architecture as the integrated GPU of the Broadwell graphics cards (e.g. HD Graphics 5300), but offers less shader cores and slower clock speeds.

It is a rename from the Intel HD Graphics (Braswell) card that included the faster 16 EU model in the Pentium SoCs. See the Intel HD Graphics Braswell graphics card page for benchmarks.

The performance depends on the processor (different boost speed for the GPU) and the used memory.

Gaming performance ist still only suited for older or less demanding games. Often also the processor is limited gaming performance (e.g. in the dual-core N3000).

The SoC also integrates a video decoding engine that should be able to handle 4K H.265 videos.

NVIDIA RTX A6000

The Nvidia RTX A6000 is a professional desktop graphics card for workstation. It is based on the consumer GeForce RTX 3090 GPU and offers all 10,752 FP32 ALUs of the GA102 Ampere chip. As a formerly known Quadro card, the A6000 offers certified drivers for CAD, DCC, medical and visualization applications.

The RTX A6000 is rated at 300 Watt and is produced by Samsung in 8nm (8N).

4x NVIDIA RTX A6000

The 4x Nvidia RTX A6000 (Quad NV-Link) is a graphics solution consisting out of four professional RTX A6000 graphics cards connected via NV-Link. Each card uses the GA102 chip and offers 10.752 CUDA cores and 48 GB GDDR6 memory. Only a selected number of professional apps can make use of all four graphics cards, otherwise only one card is used (e.g. in games).
