AMD Radeon PRO W7400 vs Intel Arc A580 Comparison

AMD Radeon PRO W7400 and Intel Arc A580 occupy different corners of the GPU market, yet both deliver DirectX 12 Ultimate feature sets. The Radeon PRO W7400 is a professional workstation card with a 50th percentile ranking among all GPUs, while the Arc A580 sits at the 87th percentile. The Arc A580 has recorded benchmark data, including a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 2229, a Geekbench OpenCL score of 91657, and a Geekbench Vulkan score of 79381, giving it an average benchmark score of 57756. The Radeon PRO W7400 has no recorded benchmark scores in the database, meaning direct numerical comparisons rely on the Arc A580's nearest rivals and the architectural specifications of both cards.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The Intel Arc A580 is the only card in this comparison with benchmark results in the database. Its average benchmark score of 57756 places it at the 87th percentile of all GPUs, a strong position for a mainstream graphics card. The Arc A580's nearest rivals show a tight competitive cluster. The AMD Radeon RX 6950 XT, a former high-end card, scores 58392, which is 1.1% higher than the Arc A580. The Intel Arc A570M scores 58239, 0.8% higher. The AMD Radeon RX 5600 OEM scores 58085, 0.6% higher. The AMD Radeon RX 9070 GRE scores 57367, which is 0.7% lower than the Arc A580. This grouping indicates the Arc A580 performs within a narrow band around 57,000 to 58,400 points, trading positions with both older and newer AMD parts.

The Radeon PRO W7400 has no recorded benchmark scores, so its percentile ranking of 50 comes from database classification rather than measured performance. The Arc A580's 87th percentile versus the W7400's 50th percentile suggests a significant performance gap, but the professional card's lack of benchmark data means this remains a positional difference. The Arc A580's Geekbench OpenCL score of 91657 and Vulkan score of 79381 demonstrate strong compute and graphics API performance in synthetic workloads. The 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 result of 2229 provides a modern DirectX 12 rendering data point. No head-to-head benchmark entries exist for these two cards, so the database does not record any wins for either side in direct competition.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Radeon PRO W7400 uses the Navi 33 chip built on RDNA 3.0 architecture, with the codename Hotpink Bonefish. It belongs to the Radeon Pro Navi (Navi III Series) generation. The Intel Arc A580 uses the DG2-512 chip built on Xe-HPG architecture, from the Alchemist (Arc 5) generation. Both cards are manufactured by TSMC on a 6 nm process node, which gives them a shared fabrication foundation. The transistor counts differ substantially. The W7400 packs 13,300 million transistors on a 204 mm² die, producing a transistor density of 65.2 million transistors per square millimeter. The Arc A580 contains 21,700 million transistors on a 406 mm² die, with a density of 53.4 million transistors per square millimeter. The Intel die is roughly twice the physical size and carries significantly more transistors, but the AMD die achieves higher density, indicating a more compact design.

The W7400 has 1792 shading units, 112 texture mapping units, 64 raster operation units, and 28 ray tracing cores. The Arc A580 has 3072 shading units, 192 texture mapping units, 96 raster operation units, and 24 ray tracing cores. Intel fields more shading, texture, and raster hardware, while AMD fields more ray tracing cores. The memory subsystems also differ. Both cards use 8 GB of GDDR6 memory, but the W7400 uses a 128 bit bus with 172.8 GB/s bandwidth, while the Arc A580 uses a 256 bit bus with 512.0 GB/s bandwidth. The Arc A580 offers nearly three times the memory bandwidth. Clock behavior differs as well. The W7400 has a base clock of 330 MHz and a boost clock of 1100 MHz, while the Arc A580 has a base clock of 1700 MHz and a boost clock of 2000 MHz. The Intel card runs at much higher frequencies. Memory clocks also diverge: the W7400 memory runs at 1350 MHz (10.8 Gbps effective), and the Arc A580 memory runs at 2000 MHz (16 Gbps effective).

Compute throughput favors the Intel card. The Arc A580 delivers 12.29 TFLOPS FP32 and 24.58 TFLOPS FP16, with the FP16 rate at 2:1 relative to FP32. The W7400 delivers 7.885 TFLOPS FP32 and 7.885 TFLOPS FP16, with a 1:1 ratio. The W7400's FP16 performance equals its FP32, which is unusual and indicates a different execution path. Pixel and texture rates follow the hardware counts. The W7400 produces 70.40 GPixel/s and 123.2 GTexel/s, while the Arc A580 produces 192.0 GPixel/s and 384.0 GTexel/s. Both support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. Display outputs differ: the W7400 has four DisplayPort 2.1 ports, while the Arc A580 has one HDMI 2.1 port and three DisplayPort 2.0 ports. The W7400 uses a PCIe 4.0 x8 interface, and the Arc A580 uses PCIe 4.0 x16. The W7400 is the successor to the Radeon Pro Vega, while the Arc A580 follows Xe Graphics and has a successor named Battlemage. The W7400 released on 2025-08-02, and the Arc A580 released on 2023-10-09, making the Intel card the older product.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Arc A580 wins on raw compute and rendering throughput. Its FP32 performance of 12.29 TFLOPS is roughly 56% higher than the W7400's 7.885 TFLOPS. Its FP16 performance of 24.58 TFLOPS is more than triple the W7400's 7.885 TFLOPS. The Arc A580 also delivers 192.0 GPixel/s versus 70.40 GPixel/s, and 384.0 GTexel/s versus 123.2 GTexel/s. Memory bandwidth favors Intel heavily at 512.0 GB/s versus 172.8 GB/s, supported by the 256 bit bus versus 128 bit. The Arc A580 has more shading units (3072 versus 1792), more TMUs (192 versus 112), and more ROPs (96 versus 64). Its higher base and boost clocks (1700 MHz and 2000 MHz versus 330 MHz and 1100 MHz) reinforce the throughput advantage. The Arc A580's recorded benchmark scores confirm its competitive position: an average score of 57756, an 87th percentile ranking, and a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 2229. Its nearest rivals all sit within 1.1% of its average score, showing it trades blows with the AMD Radeon RX 6950 XT, RX 9070 GRE, and RX 5600 OEM, plus the Intel Arc A570M.

The AMD Radeon PRO W7400 wins on efficiency and form factor. Its TDP of 55 W is dramatically lower than the Arc A580's 175 W, and it requires no power connectors while the Arc A580 requires two 8-pin connectors. The suggested PSU is 250 W for the W7400 versus 450 W for the Arc A580. The W7400 is a single-slot card with dimensions of 168 mm by 69 mm by 20 mm, making it compact for workstation builds. It uses a PCIe 4.0 x8 interface instead of x16, which reduces lane requirements. The W7400 has more ray tracing cores (28 versus 24), and its FP16 compute runs at a 1:1 ratio with FP32, offering balanced precision capabilities. It provides four DisplayPort 2.1 outputs versus the Arc A580's one HDMI 2.1 and three DisplayPort 2.0 ports, which gives the professional card a cleaner multi-display configuration using the newer DisplayPort standard. The W7400 achieves higher transistor density at 65.2 million per mm² versus 53.4 million per mm², reflecting a more space-efficient design. Its release date of 2025-08-02 makes it a newer product than the Arc A580's 2023-10-09 launch. The W7400's 50th percentile ranking reflects its professional positioning rather than gaming performance, and the absence of benchmark data means its practical performance remains unmeasured in the database. The Arc A580, with its 87th percentile and verified scores, is the clear performance leader in measured terms, while the W7400 leads in power draw, physical footprint, and display connectivity.
