AMD Radeon 8060S vs Intel Arc A380E x2 Comparison

The Verdict

The database comparison between the AMD Radeon 8060S and the Intel Arc A380E x2 is defined by a fundamental asymmetry in available data. The AMD part has three recorded benchmark scores, a percentile ranking of 87, and a computed average score of 55757. The Intel part has zero recorded benchmarks, an average score of 0, and a percentile ranking of 50. Based strictly on the recorded data, the AMD Radeon 8060S is the only part with measurable performance. It sits in the 87th percentile of all GPUs, which places it above the median. The Intel Arc A380E x2, by contrast, holds a 50th percentile ranking, which indicates the midpoint of the distribution. The absence of benchmark scores for the Intel part means no direct head-to-head comparison can be quantified. The AMD Radeon 8060S delivers 14.85 TFLOPS of FP32 compute and 185.6 GPixel/s of pixel throughput. The Intel Arc A380E x2, as a dual-chip configuration, delivers 4.096 TFLOPS per chip, which totals 8.192 TFLOPS across both chips, and 64.00 GPixel/s per chip, totaling 128.0 GPixel/s. The AMD part clearly delivers higher raw throughput per the recorded specifications, but the Intel part is a dual-card solution with its own distinct characteristics.

In geekbench_opencl it scored 84626. In geekbench_vulkan it scored 80483. These scores contribute to an average benchmark score of 55757. The Intel Arc A380E x2 has no benchmark scores recorded in the database, so its average benchmark score is 0. The AMD part's nearest rivals provide context for its positioning. The AMD Radeon RX 6750 GRE 12 GB has an average score of 55698, which is 0.1% behind the Radeon 8060S. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 has an average score of 56083, which is 0.6% ahead. The AMD Radeon Pro W5700X has an average score of 54828, which is 1.7% behind. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 has an average score of 54247, which is 2.8% behind. These deltas show the Radeon 8060S sits between the RTX 5080 and the RX 6750 GRE in average performance. The Intel Arc A380E x2 has no nearest rivals listed, which further confirms the lack of comparative measurement data. The absence of recorded scores for the Intel part prevents any direct win/loss analysis. The AMD part wins all measurable categories by default, since no competing scores exist for the Intel part. The FP32 throughput of the AMD part is 14.85 TFLOPS, which is 3.6 times the single-chip FP32 of the Intel part at 4.096 TFLOPS, or 1.8 times the dual-chip total of 8.192 TFLOPS. The pixel rate of the AMD part is 185.6 GPixel/s, which is 2.9 times the single-chip rate of 64.00 GPixel/s, or 1.45 times the dual-chip total of 128.0 GPixel/s. The texture rate of the AMD part is 464.0 GTexel/s, which is 3.6 times the single-chip rate of 128.0 GTexel/s, or 1.8 times the dual-chip total of 256.0 GTexel/s. These figures indicate the AMD part holds a significant throughput advantage over the Intel dual-chip configuration.

The AMD part also has a higher boost clock at 2900 MHz versus the Intel part's fixed 2000 MHz. The AMD part's RDNA 3.5 architecture on a 4 nm process node provides a denser and more advanced implementation compared to the Intel Xe-HPG architecture on a 6 nm process node. The AMD part is an integrated GPU with a TDP of 55 W, which makes it suitable for portable devices where power draw is constrained. The Intel Arc A380E x2, being a discrete single-slot card with a TDP of 130 W, is designed for standalone installation. The Intel part has a defined memory subsystem with 6 GB of GDDR6 and 186.0 GB/s of bandwidth, which is a concrete specification, whereas the AMD part's memory performance is system dependent. The Intel part also has a defined physical footprint at 265 mm by 127 mm by 20 mm, and it provides 8x mini-DisplayPort 2.0 outputs, which is a specific display configuration. The AMD part's display outputs are portable device dependent. The Intel part supports a faster effective memory speed of 15.5 Gbps, but the total bandwidth is lower than what the AMD part could achieve with system-shared memory, though that value is not recorded. The AMD part uses a PCIe 5.0 x16 bus interface, which provides a wider and newer connection than the Intel part's PCIe 4.0 x8. The Intel part has a successor in Battlemage, which indicates a planned evolution path, whereas the AMD part has no successor listed. The AMD part's nearest rivals include the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080, which it leads by 2.8%, and the RTX 5080, which leads it by 0.6%. The Intel part has no rival data to compare against.
