AMD Radeon PRO V710 vs Intel Arc A380E Comparison

AMD Radeon PRO V710 and Intel Arc A380E occupy distinct tiers in the database, with the V710 positioned at the 88th percentile among all GPUs while the A380E sits at the 50th percentile. The benchmark gap is substantial, though the A380E offers attributes in power efficiency, physical footprint, and display output capability that the V710 does not. The following analysis draws exclusively from recorded measurements and specification data.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains two benchmark entries for the AMD Radeon PRO V710: a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 result of 853 and a Geekbench OpenCL score of 116,460. These results place the V710 at an average benchmark score of 58,657 across its recorded tests. The Intel Arc A380E has no recorded benchmark entries, meaning its average benchmark score is 0 and no direct head-to-head comparison can be made from measured performance data.

The V710’s percentile ranking of 88 versus the A380E’s 50 indicates a clear performance separation. Looking at the V710’s nearest rivals, the data shows it sits within 1% of several competitors. The NVIDIA P102-100 scores 58,528, which is 0.2% behind the V710. The AMD Radeon RX 6950 XT scores 58,392, a 0.5% deficit. The Intel Arc A570M scores 58,239, trailing by 0.7%. The AMD Radeon RX 5600 OEM scores 58,085, 1% behind. These deltas confirm the V710 is competitive with a cluster of mid-range to upper-mid-range GPUs, but it does not dominate them by a wide margin.

The FP32 compute figures reinforce the gap. The V710 delivers 27.65 TFLOPS of FP32 throughput, while the A380E delivers 4.096 TFLOPS. That represents approximately a 6.75x difference in raw single-precision compute. In FP16, the V710 again outputs 27.65 TFLOPS with a 1:1 ratio, while the A380E outputs 8.192 TFLOPS with a 2:1 ratio. The V710’s FP16 advantage is about 3.4x.

Pixel and texture throughput follow the same pattern. The V710 achieves 192.0 GPixel/s and 432.0 GTexel/s. The A380E achieves 64.00 GPixel/s and 128.0 GTexel/s. The V710 is 3x faster in both metrics. Memory bandwidth shows a 504.0 GB/s figure for the V710 against 186.0 GB/s for the A380E, a 2.7x difference.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Radeon PRO V710 wins decisively in all compute-oriented and memory-intensive workloads based on the recorded data. Its 28 GB of GDDR6 memory vastly exceeds the A380E’s 6 GB, making the V710 suitable for large datasets, high-resolution textures, and multi-model inference scenarios where memory capacity is the limiting factor. The 224-bit memory bus versus 96-bit bus, combined with the higher memory clock of 2250 MHz (18 Gbps effective) versus 1937 MHz (15.5 Gbps effective), gives the V710 a commanding bandwidth lead. The 504.0 GB/s bandwidth supports sustained throughput in bandwidth-bound tasks.

The V710 also leads in shading resources. It has 3,456 shading units, 216 texture mapping units, and 96 raster output units. The A380E has 1,024 shading units, 64 TMUs, and 32 ROPs. The V710’s ray tracing core count is 54 versus 8 for the A380E, a 6.75x advantage. For any workload that uses ray tracing, the V710 has substantially more hardware available.

The Intel Arc A380E wins on power consumption. Its TDP is 75 W, while the V710’s TDP is 158 W. The A380E requires no power connectors, relying entirely on slot power, while the V710 requires a single 8-pin connector. The suggested PSU for the A380E is 250 W, compared to 450 W for the V710. In a system with strict power or thermal constraints, the A380E is the more feasible option.

The A380E also wins on display output. It provides 4x DisplayPort 2.0 outputs, meaning it can drive multiple monitors directly. The V710 has no display outputs, requiring a separate display adapter or a system with integrated graphics. For a workstation that needs direct multi-monitor output without additional hardware, the A380E is the only practical choice between the two.

The A380E wins on physical dimensions. It measures 254 mm in length, 127 mm in height, and 20 mm in width. The V710’s dimensions are not recorded in the database, so a direct size comparison cannot be made, but the A380E’s single-slot, compact form factor is documented. The V710 is also single-slot, but its length and height are unknown. The A380E’s lower power draw and lack of external power connectors simplify installation in small form factor or legacy systems.

The V710 uses a PCIe 4.0 x16 interface, while the A380E uses PCIe 4.0 x8. The V710 has no display outputs; the A380E has 4x DisplayPort 2.0. Dimensions are only recorded for the A380E: 254 mm length, 127 mm height, 20 mm width.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Radeon PRO V710 is built on the RDNA 3.0 architecture with the Navi 32 chip, using the codename Wheat Nas, and belongs to the Radeon Pro Navi (Navi III Series) generation. The Intel Arc A380E uses the Xe-HPG architecture with the DG2-128 chip and belongs to the Alchemist (Arc 3) generation. Both support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4, so API-level feature parity is present.

The manufacturing process differs by one node generation: the V710 uses 5 nm TSMC, the A380E uses 6 nm TSMC. Transistor density reflects the process difference: 81.2M per mm² versus 45.9M per mm². The V710’s die is 346 mm² with 28,100 million transistors, while the A380E’s die is 157 mm² with 7,200 million transistors. This means the V710 packs nearly four times the transistor count on a die that is about 2.2 times larger.

Compute architecture differences are evident in the FP16 ratio. The V710 uses a 1:1 FP16 to FP32 ratio, indicating full-rate half-precision execution. The A380E uses a 2:1 ratio, meaning it can perform twice as many FP16 operations as FP32 operations per clock, a common design for GPU architectures that accelerate AI or media workloads. The V710’s FP16 throughput equals its FP32 throughput at 27.65 TFLOPS, while the A380E’s FP16 throughput is double its FP32 figure at 8.192 TFLOPS.

The ray tracing implementation differs in scale. The V710 integrates 54 ray tracing cores as part of the RDNA 3.0 design. The A380E has 8 ray tracing cores under the Xe-HPG architecture. Neither GPU has tensor cores, as the tensorCores field is null for both. The V710’s production status is not recorded, while the A380E is marked as end-of-life, with its successor listed as Battlemage.

The release dates differ by about six months. The A380E was released on 2024-03-31, while the V710 was released on 2024-10-02. The V710’s predecessor is the Radeon Pro Vega, and the A380E’s predecessor is Xe Graphics. Neither GPU has a recorded launch MSRP, so pricing data is absent from the database. The V710 has no display outputs, which is unusual for a Radeon Pro product and suggests it is intended for compute or server deployments where rendering is offloaded or virtualized. The A380E’s 4x DisplayPort 2.0 outputs make it a functional display adapter out of the box. These architectural choices align with the performance and usage profiles indicated by the benchmark and specification data.
