AMD Radeon PRO W7600 vs Intel Arc A310E Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data for the AMD Radeon PRO W7600 and the Intel Arc A310E presents an extremely lopsided comparison, primarily because the database contains benchmark scores for only one of the two cards. The AMD Radeon PRO W7600 has a recorded average benchmark score of 87108, derived from two separate tests. In the Geekbench OpenCL test, it scores 81528, while in the Geekbench Vulkan test, it scores 92688. The Intel Arc A310E, by contrast, has no recorded benchmark scores in the database, which means no direct head-to-head performance delta can be calculated from the available measurements.

The absence of data for the Intel part is itself a significant finding. The database shows the Arc A310E with an average benchmark score of 0 and a percentile ranking of 50 among all GPUs, which is the median position. This is not a statement about its real-world capability, but rather a reflection of the lack of recorded test results. The AMD Radeon PRO W7600, on the other hand, sits in the 93rd percentile of all GPUs in the database, indicating that its recorded scores place it far above the majority of other graphics cards in the benchmark pool.

When the AMD card is compared against its nearest rivals, the data shows a narrow competitive band. The NVIDIA Quadro GP100 has an average score of 87445, which is 0.4 percent above the Radeon PRO W7600, making the two statistically equivalent. The NVIDIA CMP 40HX scores 85637, which is 1.7 percent below the AMD card. The NVIDIA RTX A4500 Mobile and the NVIDIA RTX A4500 sit higher, with scores of 91134 and 91671 respectively, placing them 4.4 percent and 5 percent ahead of the Radeon PRO W7600. This indicates that the AMD part is competitive with, but not dominant over, a cluster of professional and mining-focused GPUs around the 87,000 to 91,000 score range.

For the Intel Arc A310E, the database records no nearest rivals and no wins in any head-to-head comparison. This is a direct consequence of the missing benchmark data. The performance relationship between the two cards in this comparison is therefore undefined, and the only numerical anchor available is the massive gap between the AMD card's recorded 87108 average and the Intel card's absent score.

The Verdict

The data indicates that the AMD Radeon PRO W7600 is the only one of the two cards with measurable performance in the database. Its 93rd percentile ranking and an average benchmark score of 87108 place it well above the median, and its nearest rivals confirm that it operates in a professional graphics tier. The Intel Arc A310E, with no recorded scores, cannot be positioned relative to the AMD card based on the database measurements.

For users whose decision depends strictly on recorded benchmark data, the AMD Radeon PRO W7600 is the only option with verified performance metrics. Its Geekbench Vulkan score of 92688 exceeds its OpenCL score of 81528, suggesting strong compute throughput in both APIs, though the Vulkan result is the higher of the two. The Intel Arc A310E, while listed as an active product in its generation, offers no benchmark data to support any performance claim.

The AMD card also holds advantages in several measurable hardware attributes that are relevant to professional workloads. It features 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus, delivering 288.0 GB/s of bandwidth, compared to the Intel card's 4 GB of GDDR6 on a 64-bit bus with 124.0 GB/s. The AMD card has 2048 shading units, 128 texture mapping units, and 64 render output units, while the Intel card has 768 shading units, 32 texture mapping units, and 16 render output units. The AMD card's FP32 compute is listed at 19.99 TFLOPS, which is substantially higher than the Intel card's 3.072 TFLOPS. These figures, along with the recorded benchmark scores, make the AMD Radeon PRO W7600 the clear choice for any application where performance data is the primary criterion.

Architecture Differences

The two GPUs are built on fundamentally different architectures. The AMD Radeon PRO W7600 uses the RDNA 3.0 architecture with the Navi 33 chip, codenamed Hotpink Bonefish. The Intel Arc A310E uses the Xe-HPG architecture with the DG2-128 chip and belongs to the Alchemist generation, specifically the Arc 3 tier. Both are fabricated on a 6 nm process at TSMC, but the similarities end there.

The AMD chip contains 13,300 million transistors on a die size of 204 mm², resulting in a transistor density of 65.2 million transistors per mm². The Intel chip contains 7,200 million transistors on a smaller die of 157 mm², with a lower transistor density of 45.9 million transistors per mm². This means the AMD chip packs nearly twice the transistor count into a larger area, while the Intel chip uses a more modest transistor budget.

In terms of compute resources, the AMD card provides 2048 shading units, 128 TMUs, 64 ROPs, and 32 ray tracing cores. The Intel card offers 768 shading units, 32 TMUs, 16 ROPs, and 6 ray tracing cores. The AMD card's FP32 throughput is listed at 19.99 TFLOPS, while its FP16 throughput is 39.98 TFLOPS with a 2:1 ratio. The Intel card delivers 3.072 TFLOPS FP32 and 6.144 TFLOPS FP16, also with a 2:1 ratio. The pixel rate for the AMD card is 156.2 GPixel/s and its texture rate is 312.3 GTexel/s, while the Intel card achieves 32.00 GPixel/s and 64.00 GTexel/s respectively.

Both cards support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4, so the API feature set is identical. However, the underlying hardware capabilities are vastly different, with the AMD card providing roughly 6.5 times the FP32 throughput and much higher pixel and texture fill rates.

Specification Differences

The specification differences between the AMD Radeon PRO W7600 and the Intel Arc A310E are extensive. The AMD card has a base clock of 1720 MHz and a boost clock of 2440 MHz, while the Intel card has a fixed clock of 2000 MHz for both base and boost. The AMD card's memory runs at 2250 MHz with 18 Gbps effective speed, whereas the Intel card's memory runs at 1937 MHz with 15.5 Gbps effective speed.

Memory capacity differs significantly: the AMD card has 8 GB of GDDR6, while the Intel card has only 4 GB. The bus width is 128 bits on the AMD card versus 64 bits on the Intel card, and the resulting bandwidth is 288.0 GB/s versus 124.0 GB/s. The AMD card has a TDP of 130 W and requires a single 6-pin power connector, while the Intel card has a TDP of 75 W and requires no power connector. The suggested power supply for the AMD card is 300 W, while the Intel card suggests 250 W.

Physical dimensions also differ. The AMD card measures 241 mm in length (9.5 inches) and 115 mm in height (4.5 inches), while the Intel card is much smaller at 168 mm in length (6.6 inches), 69 mm in height (2.7 inches), and 20 mm in width (0.8 inches). Both are single-slot cards, but the Intel card is considerably more compact.

The display outputs differ as well: the AMD card provides 4x DisplayPort 2.1, while the Intel card provides 4x mini-DisplayPort 2.0. The AMD card uses a PCIe 4.0 x8 interface, and the Intel card also uses PCIe 4.0 x8, so that specification is shared.
