AMD Radeon PRO W7700 vs Intel Arc A310E Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no direct head-to-head benchmark comparisons between the AMD Radeon PRO W7700 and the Intel Arc A310E. The head-to-head benchmark array is empty, with zero recorded wins for either product. This absence of comparative data is itself informative, as it reflects the vast performance gulf between these two entries.

The AMD Radeon PRO W7700 has two recorded benchmark scores. In Geekbench OpenCL, it scores 108,245 points, while in Geekbench Vulkan it reaches 129,706 points. Its average benchmark score sits at 118,976. This places the card in the 95th percentile of all GPUs in the database. The Intel Arc A310E has no benchmark entries, no average score, and holds the 50th percentile. The A310E's average benchmark score is recorded as zero, meaning the database has no measured performance data for it.

The Verdict

The data presents a clear hierarchy. The AMD Radeon PRO W7700 is a high-performance workstation card, ranked in the 95th percentile of all GPUs, with measured scores above 100,000 points in both OpenCL and Vulkan tests. The Intel Arc A310E is a low-power embedded or compact card, ranked in the 50th percentile, with no recorded benchmarks at all. The W7700 delivers roughly 10.4 times the FP32 throughput of the A310E, based on the recorded specifications: 31.95 TFLOPS versus 3.072 TFLOPS. Memory bandwidth differs by a similar magnitude, with the AMD card providing 576.0 GB/s against the Intel card's 124.0 GB/s.

The Radeon PRO W7700 also carries 16 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus, while the Intel Arc A310E has 4 GB on a 64-bit bus. The AMD card uses a PCIe 4.0 x16 interface; the Intel card uses PCIe 4.0 x8. The W7700 requires a dual-slot cooler, a single 8-pin power connector, and a 450 W suggested power supply. The A310E is a single-slot card with no power connectors and a 250 W suggested power supply. These are not competing products in the same performance class. The W7700 targets workloads that demand high compute throughput, large memory capacity, and wide bandwidth. The A310E targets space-constrained or power-limited systems where a compact, low-power GPU is sufficient.

Specification Differences

The two cards differ across nearly every recorded specification. The AMD Radeon PRO W7700 uses the Navi 32 chip, while the Intel Arc A310E uses the DG2-128 chip. The AMD card has 28,100 million transistors on a 346 mm² die with a transistor density of 81.2M per mm². The Intel card has 7,200 million transistors on a 157 mm² die with a density of 45.9M per mm². The AMD card's base clock is 1900 MHz and boost clock is 2600 MHz. The Intel card's base and boost clocks are both 2000 MHz. Memory clocks differ as well: the W7700 runs at 2250 MHz (18 Gbps effective), while the A310E runs at 1937 MHz (15.5 Gbps effective).

The shading units number 3,072 on the AMD card versus 768 on the Intel card. Texture mapping units total 192 versus 32. Raster output units total 96 versus 16. Ray tracing cores total 48 versus 6. Pixel rate is 249.6 GPixel/s versus 32.00 GPixel/s. Texture rate is 499.2 GTexel/s versus 64.00 GTexel/s. The TDP is 190 W versus 75 W. The slot width is dual-slot versus single-slot. The AMD card uses one 8-pin power connector; the Intel card uses none. The suggested power supply is 450 W versus 250 W. The bus interface is PCIe 4.0 x16 versus PCIe 4.0 x8. Display outputs are 4x DisplayPort 2.1 versus 4x mini-DisplayPort 2.0. Dimensions also differ: the W7700 measures 241 mm in length and 111 mm in height, while the A310E measures 168 mm in length, 69 mm in height, and 20 mm in width. The launch MSRP for the W7700 is 999 USD. The A310E has no recorded launch MSRP.

Architecture Differences

The architectural divide starts with the manufacturing process. The AMD Radeon PRO W7700 is built on a 5 nm process at TSMC, while the Intel Arc A310E uses a 6 nm process, also at TSMC. The AMD card's architecture is RDNA 3.0, with the codename Wheat Nas, and belongs to the Radeon Pro Navi generation. The Intel card's architecture is Xe-HPG, with no codename, and belongs to the Alchemist (Arc 3) generation. The AMD card's predecessor is the Radeon Pro Vega, while the Intel card's predecessor is Xe Graphics. The Intel card has a successor, Battlemage, while the AMD card has no recorded successor. The Intel card's production status is end-of-life; the AMD card's status is not recorded.

Both cards support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. The AMD card has no tensor cores recorded, and the Intel card also has none. The AMD card's FP16 rate is exactly double its FP32 rate, indicating a 2:1 ratio. The Intel card shows the same 2:1 FP16 to FP32 ratio. The AMD card has 48 ray tracing cores, while the Intel card has 6. The AMD card's transistor count is nearly four times that of the Intel card, and its die size is more than double. The architecture differences reflect divergent design goals: the W7700 maximizes compute and bandwidth for professional workloads, while the A310E optimizes for minimal power draw and physical footprint.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Radeon PRO W7700 wins decisively in compute-intensive workloads. Its FP32 throughput of 31.95 TFLOPS is more than ten times the Intel Arc A310E's 3.072 TFLOPS. Its texture rate of 499.2 GTexel/s dwarfs the A310E's 64.00 GTexel/s. Its pixel rate of 249.6 GPixel/s compares to 32.00 GPixel/s. The 576.0 GB/s memory bandwidth supports large data sets and high-resolution textures, while the 16 GB capacity allows for models and buffers that would not fit within the A310E's 4 GB. The 256-bit bus width provides the pathway for that bandwidth, and the PCIe 4.0 x16 interface offers double the lane width of the A310E's x8 connection.

The Intel Arc A310E wins in power efficiency and physical compactness. Its 75 W TDP is less than half the AMD card's 190 W. It requires no external power connectors, while the AMD card needs a single 8-pin connector. The suggested power supply is 250 W versus 450 W. The A310E is a single-slot card measuring 168 mm in length, 69 mm in height, and 20 mm in width, versus the dual-slot W7700 at 241 mm by 111 mm. The A310E also uses a smaller 157 mm² die and fewer transistors, making it suitable for embedded systems, low-profile chassis, or environments with strict thermal and power constraints. Its boost clock of 2000 MHz actually exceeds the AMD card's base clock of 1900 MHz, though the AMD card boosts to 2600 MHz.

In ray tracing, the AMD card has 48 dedicated cores versus 6 on the Intel card, indicating a substantial advantage for the W7700 in ray-traced workloads. The AMD card also has 3,072 shading units versus 768, giving it a large advantage in general shader processing. The Intel card's only recorded wins are its lower power consumption, smaller dimensions, and the absence of a power connector requirement. The database shows no measured benchmark wins for either card in head-to-head testing, but the specification data alone establishes the W7700 as the dominant performer for heavy compute, while the A310E serves as a compact, low-power option for basic graphics output.
