AMD Radeon 760M vs Intel Arc A380E x2 Comparison

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Radeon 760M and Intel Arc A380E x2 occupy fundamentally different positions in the benchmark database. The Radeon 760M is an integrated graphics processor (IGP) built into AMD's Phoenix chip, while the Arc A380E x2 is a discrete, single-slot add-in card from Intel's Alchemist generation. Their recorded data sets reflect this split: the Radeon 760M has ten benchmark entries spanning DirectX 9 through DirectX 12, OpenCL, Vulkan, and compute workloads, whereas the Arc A380E x2 has no recorded benchmark scores at all in the database.

The Radeon 760M therefore wins every measured comparison by default, but its actual advantage can only be quantified where both parts have data. Since the Arc A380E x2 lacks any recorded scores, the database shows zero wins for the Intel part and zero head-to-head benchmark entries. The meaningful analysis here is architectural and specification-driven, not score-driven.

The Radeon 760M's benchmark profile shows a part that is strongest in legacy DirectX workloads. Its PassMark DirectX 9 score of 65 and DirectX 11 score of 52 both exceed its DirectX 12 score of 25, indicating that older API paths are better optimized on this IGP. The compute score of 2840 in PassMark GPU Compute sits well below the OpenCL score of 20255 in Geekbench, suggesting that different compute APIs yield very different results for this chip. The Vulkan score of 30336 is the single highest recorded metric for the Radeon 760M, nearly 50% above its OpenCL score.

The Arc A380E x2, with no benchmark data, cannot be positioned against the Radeon 760M in any workload. Its database percentile of 50 versus the Radeon's 35 indicates that Intel's part is placed higher in the overall GPU distribution, but this percentile is computed without any measured scores, so it reflects specifications rather than observed performance.

Architecture Differences

The two GPUs come from different manufacturers, different architectures, and different design philosophies. AMD's Radeon 760M uses the RDNA 3.0 architecture, built on TSMC's 4 nm process. The chip, codenamed Phoenix, integrates 25,390 million transistors on a 178 mm² die, yielding a transistor density of 142.6 million per square millimeter. Intel's Arc A380E x2 uses the Xe-HPG architecture, also fabricated by TSMC but on a 6 nm process. The DG2-128 chip packs 7,200 million transistors into a 157 mm² die, giving a density of 45.9 million per square millimeter. The Radeon 760M therefore integrates more than three times as many transistors at more than three times the density, despite being a smaller part in terms of its system role.

The Radeon 760M is an IGP with no slot width, no power connectors, and a 15 W TDP. It relies on system shared memory, with a memory bus and bandwidth described as "System Dependent." The Intel Arc A380E x2 is a discrete card: single-slot, 265 mm long, 127 mm tall, 20 mm wide, with a 130 W TDP and a single 6-pin power connector. Its suggested power supply is 300 W. The Intel part has its own dedicated memory: 6 GB of GDDR6 on a 96-bit bus, delivering 186.0 GB/s of bandwidth at 1937 MHz (15.5 Gbps effective).

The core configurations differ sharply. The Radeon 760M has 512 shading units, 32 texture mapping units, 16 render output units, and 8 ray tracing cores. The Arc A380E x2 doubles most of these counts: 1024 shading units, 64 TMUs, 32 ROPs, and 8 ray tracing cores. Despite the higher execution resource counts, the Intel part's clock speeds are lower in boost: 2000 MHz base and boost, versus the Radeon's 800 MHz base and 2599 MHz boost. The Radeon's higher boost clock helps it reach 5.323 TFLOPS of FP32 performance, while the Intel card delivers 4.096 TFLOPS. In FP16, the Radeon offers 5.323 TFLOPS at a 1:1 ratio, while Intel provides 8.192 TFLOPS at a 2:1 ratio, meaning the Arc card has a dedicated FP16 throughput advantage.

Both parts support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. Both use a PCIe 4.0 x8 bus interface. The Radeon 760M's display outputs are motherboard dependent, while the Arc A380E x2 has 8x mini-DisplayPort 2.0 connectors. The Intel card is marked end-of-life with a successor named Battlemage; the Radeon 760M is active, with its predecessor being Navi II IGP.

The production statuses also differ: AMD's part is Active, Intel's is End-of-life. The Radeon 760M was released on 2024-01-30, the Arc A380E x2 on 2024-03-31. Both have no launch MSRP recorded.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no head-to-head benchmark entries between the AMD Radeon 760M and the Intel Arc A380E x2. The wins counter shows zero for both parts. This is a direct consequence of the Intel card having an empty benchmark array. Without recorded scores for the Arc A380E x2, no comparative performance analysis can be drawn from measured data.

What the database does provide is the Radeon 760M's absolute scores, which can be interpreted against its own nearest rivals. The Radeon 760M's average benchmark score is 6019. Its closest competitor in the database is the AMD Radeon RX 6400, with an average score of 6001, a delta of 0.3% in favor of the Radeon 760M. The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 770M also scores 6000, again 0.3% behind. The NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server scores 5996, 0.4% behind. The NVIDIA Quadro P2000 scores 6049, which is 0.5% ahead of the Radeon 760M. These deltas are all within a single percentage point, indicating that the Radeon 760M sits in a tightly clustered performance band despite being an integrated part.

The Radeon 760M's individual scores show a wide spread across tests. Its best result is the Geekbench Vulkan score of 30336, followed by OpenCL at 20255. PassMark G3D gives 5310, GPU Compute gives 2840, and G2D gives 890. The DirectX legacy scores are much lower: PassMark DirectX 9 at 65, DirectX 11 at 52, DirectX 12 at 25, and DirectX 10 at 19. The 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score is 400. This spread suggests the part is capable in compute and modern API workloads but much weaker in older rasterization paths, which is consistent with an IGP that relies on system memory and has only 16 ROPs.

Because the Arc A380E x2 has no scores, the database cannot place it relative to the Radeon 760M in any test. Its percentile of 50 versus the Radeon's 35 is the only ranking signal, and that percentile is based on specifications, not measurements.
