AMD Radeon PRO W7800 vs Intel Arc A380E x2 Comparison

AMD Radeon PRO W7800 vs Intel Arc A380E x2

The benchmark database shows a clear performance hierarchy: the AMD Radeon PRO W7800 ranks in the 97th percentile of all GPUs, while the Intel Arc A380E x2 sits in the 50th percentile. The AMD card delivers an average benchmark score of 164,894, whereas the Intel product has no recorded benchmark score at all, making direct quantitative comparison impossible. The W7800's nearest rivals include the NVIDIA RTX A5500 (165,217, 0.2% higher), the NVIDIA RTX 4500 Ada Generation (166,094, 0.7% higher), the NVIDIA A100 PCIe 40 GB (162,504, 1.5% lower), and the AMD Radeon Pro W6900X (168,574, 2.2% higher). The Arc A380E x2 has no recorded rivals or scores, placing it firmly in a different performance tier.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no head-to-head benchmark entries for these two products. The AMD Radeon PRO W7800 has two recorded scores: Geekbench OpenCL at 154,366 and Geekbench Vulkan at 175,422. Its average benchmark score of 164,894 reflects these two results. The Intel Arc A380E x2 has zero benchmark entries across all test categories. This absence of data is itself informative: the Arc A380E x2 cannot be positioned relative to the W7800 through direct measurements.

Looking at the W7800's standing among its nearest rivals, the data shows a tightly packed field. The RTX 4500 Ada Generation leads with 166,094, only 0.7% above the W7800. The RTX A5500 follows at 165,217, a 0.2% advantage. The W7800 edges out the A100 PCIe 40 GB by 1.5% and trails the Radeon Pro W6900X by 2.2%. These deltas are small, indicating that the W7800 performs within a narrow band of professional workstation GPUs. The Arc A380E x2, with no scores, cannot be compared numerically.

The compute specifications reinforce this gap. The W7800 delivers 45.25 TFLOPS FP32 and 90.50 TFLOPS FP16 (2:1). The Arc A380E x2 provides 4.096 TFLOPS FP32 and 8.192 TFLOPS FP16 (2:1). The AMD part offers roughly 11 times the FP32 throughput on paper. Pixel rate also diverges sharply: 323.2 GPixel/s versus 64.00 GPixel/s. Texture rate shows 707.0 GTexel/s versus 128.0 GTexel/s. Every measurable throughput metric favors the W7800 by a wide margin.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Radeon PRO W7800 wins across every category where data exists. Its 32 GB GDDR6 memory with a 256-bit bus provides 576.0 GB/s bandwidth. The Intel Arc A380E x2 has 6 GB GDDR6 on a 96-bit bus, yielding 186.0 GB/s. Memory capacity differs by a factor of 5.3, and bandwidth by a factor of 3.1. The W7800 also supports PCIe 4.0 x16, while the Arc A380E x2 uses PCIe 4.0 x8. For workloads that scale with memory capacity or bus width, the W7800 is the only viable option from these two.

The Arc A380E x2 wins in physical footprint and power draw. It is a single-slot card measuring 265 mm by 127 mm by 20 mm, with a 130 W TDP and a single 6-pin power connector. The W7800 is dual-slot, measuring 280 mm by 110 mm by 40 mm, with a 260 W TDP and dual 8-pin connectors. The Intel card also has eight mini-DisplayPort 2.0 outputs versus the W7800's three DisplayPort 2.1 and one mini-DisplayPort 2.1. For multi-display setups or space-constrained chassis, the Arc A380E x2 offers more output ports and a slimmer profile.

The Arc A380E x2 also has a lower suggested PSU requirement at 300 W versus 600 W for the W7800. Its base and boost clocks are both 2000 MHz, whereas the W7800 clocks at 1895 MHz base and 2525 MHz boost. The Intel part runs a higher base clock, but this does not compensate for the massive difference in shader resources. The W7800 has 4480 shading units, 280 TMUs, 128 ROPs, and 70 RT cores. The Arc A380E x2 has 1024 shading units, 64 TMUs, 32 ROPs, and 8 RT cores.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Radeon PRO W7800 uses the Navi 31 chip on RDNA 3.0 architecture, codenamed Plum Bonito. It belongs to the Radeon Pro Navi (Navi III Series) generation. The chip is built on a 5 nm TSMC process with 57,700 million transistors on a 529 mm² die, giving a transistor density of 109.1M per mm². The Intel Arc A380E x2 uses the DG2-128 chip on Xe-HPG architecture, part of the Alchemist (Arc 3) generation. It is fabricated on a 6 nm TSMC process with 7,200 million transistors on a 157 mm² die, resulting in 45.9M transistors per mm². The AMD chip contains 8 times more transistors and occupies 3.4 times more die area.

Memory architecture differs substantially. The W7800 runs GDDR6 at 2250 MHz with 18 Gbps effective speed. The Arc A380E x2 runs GDDR6 at 1937 MHz with 15.5 Gbps effective speed. The W7800's 256-bit bus is 2.7 times wider than the Arc's 96-bit bus. Both support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4, so API compatibility is identical. Display output standards differ: the W7800 provides DisplayPort 2.1, while the Arc A380E x2 provides DisplayPort 2.0.

The production status also differs. The W7800 is listed as Active, released on April 12, 2023, with a predecessor of Radeon Pro Vega and no successor. The Arc A380E x2 is End-of-life, released on March 31, 2024, with a predecessor of Xe Graphics and a successor of Battlemage. The AMD card has a launch MSRP of 2,499 USD. The Intel card has no launch MSRP listed in the database.

The Verdict

The data supports only one conclusion: the AMD Radeon PRO W7800 is the superior performer by every measurable metric. Its average benchmark score of 164,894 places it in the 97th percentile, with nearest rivals within 2.2% in either direction. The Intel Arc A380E x2 has no recorded benchmark scores and sits in the 50th percentile, which indicates a mid-range position, but without data, its exact standing cannot be quantified. The W7800 delivers 45.25 TFLOPS FP32, 576.0 GB/s memory bandwidth, and 32 GB of VRAM. The Arc A380E x2 delivers 4.096 TFLOPS FP32, 186.0 GB/s bandwidth, and 6 GB of VRAM.

The W7800 wins for compute-heavy workloads, large datasets, and rendering tasks that demand high VRAM capacity. Its 32 GB memory and 256-bit bus enable data throughput that the Arc A380E x2 cannot approach. The Arc A380E x2 wins only for multi-display output with eight mini-DisplayPort 2.0 connectors, lower power consumption at 130 W, and a single-slot form factor. For a workstation GPU, the W7800's dual-slot design and 260 W TDP are reasonable trade-offs for the performance gain.

The Arc A380E x2 is end-of-life, while the W7800 remains active in production. This status difference matters for long-term availability and driver support. The W7800 also has a documented launch MSRP of 2,499 USD, whereas the Arc A380E x2 lacks any price data. Users needing a compact, low-power card with many display outputs might consider the Arc A380E x2, but the performance gap is so large that the W7800 is the clear choice for any serious graphics workload. The database shows no scenario where the Arc A380E x2 outperforms the W7800.
