NVIDIA RTX A500 Embedded: specs and benchmarks
Summary
NVIDIA started RTX A500 Embedded sales 30 March 2022. This is a laptop graphics card based on an Ampere architecture and made with 8 nm manufacturing process. It is primarily aimed at gamers. 4 GB of GDDR6 memory clocked at 12 GB/s are supplied, and together with 64 Bit memory interface this creates a bandwidth of 96 GB/s.
Compatibility-wise, this is card attached via PCIe 4.0 x8 interface. Power consumption is at 20 Watt.

Form factor & compatibility
Information on RTX A500 Embedded's compatibility with other computer components. Useful when choosing a future computer configuration or upgrading an existing one. For notebook video cards it's notebook size, connection slot and bus, if the video card is inserted into a slot instead of being soldered to the notebook motherboard.
Interface | PCIe 4.0 x8 | |
Supplementary power connectors | None |
VRAM capacity and type
Parameters of memory installed on RTX A500 Embedded: its type, size, bus, clock and resulting bandwidth. Note that GPUs integrated into processors have no dedicated memory and use a shared part of system RAM instead.
Memory type | GDDR6 | |
Maximum RAM amount | 4 GB | of 192 (Radeon Instinct MI300X) |
Memory bus width | 64 Bit | of 8192 (Radeon Instinct MI250X) |
Memory clock speed | 12 GB/s | of 23000 (GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER) |
Memory bandwidth | 96 GB/s | of 3276 (Aldebaran) |
Connectivity and outputs
Types and number of video connectors present on RTX A500 Embedded. As a rule, this section is relevant only for desktop reference graphics cards, since for notebook ones the availability of certain video outputs depends on the laptop model, while non-reference desktop models can (though not necessarily will) bear a different set of video ports.
Display Connectors | Portable Device Dependent |
