AMD Radeon 760M vs Intel Arc A310E Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data presents an unusual comparison scenario. The AMD Radeon 760M carries ten benchmark entries across multiple test suites, while the Intel Arc A310E has no recorded benchmark scores in the database. This absence of direct measurements for the Arc A310E means the head-to-head analysis relies entirely on the Radeon 760M's performance profile and the architectural specifications of both parts.

The AMD Radeon 760M delivers its strongest result in the Geekbench Vulkan test with a score of 30,336 points. The same GPU reaches 20,255 points in Geekbench OpenCL, indicating strong compute capability under heterogeneous workloads. In the Passmark suite, the G3D score of 5,310 represents the most comprehensive gaming-oriented measurement, while the G2D score of 890 covers 2D graphics acceleration tasks.

The 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 test produces a score of 400, a relatively modest result for modern DirectX 12 Ultimate workloads. Passmark DirectX 9 yields 65 points, DirectX 11 yields 52 points, and DirectX 12 yields 25 points. The Passmark GPU Compute score reaches 2,840, showing parallel processing strength outside traditional graphics rendering.

Because the Intel Arc A310E has no benchmark entries, the database assigns it a 50th percentile rank among all GPUs based on its specifications, while the Radeon 760M sits at the 35th percentile. The average benchmark score for the Radeon 760M is 6,019, derived from its ten recorded tests. The Arc A310E carries an average benchmark score of zero in the database, reflecting the absence of measured data rather than actual performance.

The nearest rivals for the Radeon 760M provide context for interpreting its scores. The AMD Radeon RX 6400 averages 6,001 points, a 0.3 percent advantage over the 760M. The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 770M also averages 6,000 points, another 0.3 percent margin. The NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server averages 5,996 points, 0.4 percent behind. The NVIDIA Quadro P2000 averages 6,049 points, putting the 760M 0.5 percent ahead. These margins are exceptionally tight, placing the 760M within one percent of four distinct GPUs across different generations and market segments.

Where Each One Wins

The benchmark distribution for the Radeon 760M shows clear strengths in compute-oriented workloads over traditional rasterization. The Geekbench Vulkan score of 30,336 and OpenCL score of 20,255 dwarf the Passmark results, suggesting the architecture favors API-level compute tasks. The Passmark G3D score of 5,310 indicates moderate gaming performance, while the DirectX 12 score of 25 lags behind the DirectX 11 score of 52 and DirectX 9 score of 65, hinting that older API paths run relatively better.

The Intel Arc A310E has no recorded wins in the database, as no benchmark scores exist for it. However, its specification sheet reveals areas where it could theoretically compete. The A310E provides 4 GB of dedicated GDDR6 memory with a 64-bit bus and 124.0 GB/s bandwidth, whereas the 760M relies entirely on system shared memory with bandwidth that the database lists as system dependent. The A310E also carries a 75 W TDP compared to the 760M's 15 W, allowing the Intel part to sustain higher power draw in a discrete card form factor.

For the Radeon 760M, the wins across all benchmark categories are the only measurable outcomes. The G2D score of 890 shows 2D acceleration capability, and the GPU compute score of 2,840 confirms parallel throughput. The 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 400 represents its modern API performance. The Arc A310E cannot claim any wins from recorded data, so any comparison must note that the Intel part's actual performance remains unmeasured in this database.

Architecture Differences

The two GPUs come from different manufacturers and architectures. The AMD Radeon 760M uses the Phoenix chip built on RDNA 3.0 architecture, belonging to the Navi III IGP generation. The Intel Arc A310E uses the DG2-128 chip built on Xe-HPG architecture, belonging to the Alchemist (Arc 3) generation. These represent fundamentally different design philosophies for integrated versus discrete graphics.

The manufacturing process differs notably. The Radeon 760M uses a 4 nm process at TSMC, while the Arc A310E uses a 6 nm process also at TSMC. The Radeon packs 25,390 million transistors onto a 178 mm² die, achieving a transistor density of 142.6 million per square millimeter. The Arc A310E contains 7,200 million transistors on a 157 mm² die, with a density of 45.9 million per square millimeter. This means the AMD chip packs more than three times the transistors into a slightly larger area, reflecting the denser 4 nm node.

The Radeon 760M features 512 shading units, 32 texture mapping units, and 16 raster output units. It includes 8 ray tracing cores. The Arc A310E offers 768 shading units, also 32 TMUs and 16 ROPs, but only 6 ray tracing cores. The Intel part has 50 percent more shading units but 25 percent fewer ray tracing cores.

Clock behavior differs substantially. The Radeon 760M runs at a base clock of 800 MHz and boosts to 2599 MHz, a wide boost range typical of mobile integrated graphics. The Arc A310E locks its base and boost clocks at 2000 MHz flat. Memory clocks also differ: the Radeon uses system shared memory with no dedicated clock, while the Arc uses GDDR6 at 1937 MHz with 15.5 Gbps effective data rate.

The Radeon 760M achieves a pixel rate of 41.58 GPixel/s and texture rate of 83.17 GTexel/s. The Arc A310E delivers 32.00 GPixel/s and 64.00 GTexel/s. In FP32 compute, the Radeon reaches 5.323 TFLOPS, while the Arc reaches 3.072 TFLOPS. In FP16, the Radeon maintains 5.323 TFLOPS with a 1:1 ratio, but the Arc doubles to 6.144 TFLOPS with a 2:1 ratio, indicating different half-precision handling.

The Radeon 760M is an integrated graphics processor (IGP) with no slot width, designed to be motherboard dependent for display outputs. The Arc A310E is a single-slot discrete card measuring 168 mm in length, 69 mm in height, and 20 mm in width, with four mini-DisplayPort 2.0 outputs.

Specification Differences

The two GPUs diverge across nearly every specification category. The Radeon 760M launches with an integrated form factor, while the Arc A310E ships as a single-slot discrete card. The Radeon uses the Phoenix chip; the Arc uses DG2-128. The architecture differs as RDNA 3.0 versus Xe-HPG, and the generations differ as Navi III IGP versus Alchemist (Arc 3).

Process node and transistor counts show the largest gap. The Radeon uses 4 nm TSMC with 25,390 million transistors on 178 mm². The Arc uses 6 nm TSMC with 7,200 million transistors on 157 mm². Transistor density stands at 142.6 million per mm² for AMD and 45.9 million per mm² for Intel.

Clock specifications reveal different strategies. The Radeon lists base 800 MHz and boost 2599 MHz. The Arc lists base 2000 MHz and boost 2000 MHz, meaning no boost headroom. Memory configuration differs completely: the Radeon uses system shared memory with no dedicated size, type, bus width, or bandwidth figure, while the Arc uses 4 GB GDDR6 on a 64-bit bus with 124.0 GB/s bandwidth.

Shading units favor Intel at 768 versus AMD's 512. TMUs match at 32 each, and ROPs match at 16 each. Ray tracing cores favor AMD at 8 versus 6 for Intel. Neither part lists tensor cores.

Pixel and texture rates favor AMD: 41.58 GPixel/s versus 32.00 GPixel/s, and 83.17 GTexel/s versus 64.00 GTexel/s. FP32 favors AMD at 5.323 TFLOPS versus 3.072 TFLOPS. FP16 favors Intel at 6.144 TFLOPS versus 5.323 TFLOPS, with different ratios (1:1 for AMD, 2:1 for Intel).

Power consumption differs by a factor of five. The Radeon lists a 15 W TDP with no power connectors and no suggested PSU. The Arc lists a 75 W TDP, also with no power connectors, but suggests a 250 W PSU. Both use PCIe 4.0 x8 interfaces.

Display outputs differ: the Radeon is motherboard dependent, while the Arc provides 4x mini-DisplayPort 2.0. API support matches for DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. Production status varies: the Radeon remains active, while the Arc is end-of-life. Release dates differ slightly, with the Radeon on 2024-01-30 and the Arc on 2024-03-31. The Radeon's predecessor is Navi II IGP with no successor listed; the Arc's predecessor is Xe Graphics with Battlemage as successor.
