AMD Radeon RX 7600 vs Intel Arc A310E Comparison

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Radeon RX 7600 wins in every measurable benchmark category where data exists. The database contains ten recorded benchmark scores for the RX 7600, covering DirectX 9 through DirectX 12, OpenCL, Vulkan, and compute workloads. The Intel Arc A310E has no recorded benchmark scores in the database, so its performance profile must be inferred from its architectural specifications rather than from direct measurements.

The RX 7600 delivers 21.75 TFLOPS of FP32 compute, while the Arc A310E delivers 3.072 TFLOPS. That represents a 7.08x advantage in raw floating-point throughput for the AMD part. In terms of memory bandwidth, the RX 7600 provides 288.0 GB/s against 124.0 GB/s for the Arc A310E, a 2.32x margin. The RX 7600 also holds a 4x advantage in texture fill rate with 339.8 GTexel/s versus 64.00 GTexel/s, and a 5.31x advantage in pixel fill rate with 169.9 GPixel/s versus 32.00 GPixel/s.

The Arc A310E does have one clear structural advantage: power consumption. Its TDP is 75 W compared to 165 W for the RX 7600, and it requires no external power connectors while the RX 7600 needs a single 8-pin connector. The Arc A310E is also a single-slot card measuring 168 mm in length, 69 mm in height, and 20 mm in width, whereas the RX 7600 is dual-slot and measures 204 mm by 115 mm. The suggested PSU for the Arc A310E is 250 W, versus 450 W for the RX 7600.

The RX 7600 occupies the 57th percentile among all GPUs in the database. The Arc A310E sits at the 50th percentile despite having no recorded benchmark scores, which places it at the median of the distribution based on its specifications. The RX 7600's average benchmark score is 15171 across its ten tests. No average score exists for the Arc A310E.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no direct head-to-head benchmark comparisons between the AMD Radeon RX 7600 and the Intel Arc A310E. However, the RX 7600 has ten individual benchmark scores that establish its performance baseline, while the Arc A310E has none. This absence of data for the Arc A310E is itself informative: the RX 7600 can be measured, while the Arc A310E cannot be characterized through recorded tests.

The RX 7600's strongest recorded results include a PassMark G3D score of 16634, a Geekbench OpenCL score of 88051, and a Geekbench Vulkan score of 34401. Its 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score is 2310. PassMark DirectX 11 returns 172, DirectX 9 returns 226, and DirectX 10 returns 84. PassMark DirectX 12 returns 58, and the GPU compute score is 8790. The PassMark G2D score is 984.

The nearest rivals in the database for the RX 7600 provide context for its positioning. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 OEM has an average score of 15199, which is 0.2% higher than the RX 7600's 15171. The AMD Radeon 680M scores 15270, 0.7% higher. The AMD Radeon Pro 560X scores 15082, 0.6% lower, and the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 Ti scores 15063, 0.7% lower. This places the RX 7600 in a tight cluster near the top of its comparison group, essentially at parity with the RTX 3050 OEM and slightly above the older GTX 660 Ti.

The Arc A310E has no rival data, no average score, and no recorded wins in any benchmark. Its specifications suggest it would land far below the RX 7600 in every compute and graphics test, but the database cannot confirm this through measurements. The RX 7600 wins all ten benchmark categories by default, since the Arc A310E has no entries.

Architecture Differences

The RX 7600 uses the Navi 33 chip with RDNA 3.0 architecture, under the codename Hotpink Bonefish. It belongs to the Navi III (RX 7000) generation and the Radeon RX 7000 series. Its predecessor is Navi II and its successor is Navi IV. The Arc A310E uses the DG2-128 chip with Xe-HPG architecture. It belongs to the Alchemist (Arc 3) generation, with the predecessor Xe Graphics and the successor Battlemage.

Both GPUs are fabricated on a 6 nm process at TSMC. The RX 7600 has 13,300 million transistors on a 204 mm² die, yielding a transistor density of 65.2M per mm². The Arc A310E has 7,200 million transistors on a 157 mm² die, yielding a transistor density of 45.9M per mm². The RX 7600 carries 84.7% more transistors on a 29.9% larger die, with a 42.0% higher transistor density.

The RX 7600's FP16 throughput matches its FP32 at 21.75 TFLOPS, indicating a 1:1 ratio. The Arc A310E has FP16 of 6.144 TFLOPS against FP32 of 3.072 TFLOPS, a 2:1 ratio. This means the RX 7600 has a 3.54x advantage in FP16 throughput as well as a 7.08x advantage in FP32.

The RX 7600 is still in active production. The Arc A310E is end-of-life. The RX 7600 was released on 2023-05-24, while the Arc A310E was released on 2024-03-31.

The Verdict

The AMD Radeon RX 7600 is the clear performance winner across every metric with recorded data. Its 21.75 TFLOPS FP32, 288.0 GB/s bandwidth, and 16634 PassMark G3D score place it in the 57th percentile of all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 15171. It sits within 0.7% of its nearest rivals, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 OEM and AMD Radeon 680M, making it a competitive mid-range part.

The Intel Arc A310E cannot be evaluated through benchmark scores because the database records none for it. Its specifications indicate a compute ceiling of 3.072 TFLOPS FP32 and 124.0 GB/s bandwidth, which is 14.1% of the FP32 throughput and 43.1% of the bandwidth of the RX 7600. The ray tracing core count is 6 versus 32, and the texture units are 32 versus 128. The Arc A310E would be expected to fall far behind in every graphics workload, though the database lacks measurements to confirm this.

The Arc A310E does hold advantages in power and physical footprint. Its 75 W TDP is 45.5% of the RX 7600's 165 W, and it needs no external power connector. Its single-slot, 168 mm length profile allows installation in compact systems where the dual-slot RX 7600 would not fit. The 250 W suggested PSU versus 450 W further widens the gap for system integration flexibility.

The production status difference is decisive for long-term availability. The RX 7600 remains active, while the Arc A310E is end-of-life. The RX 7600 also carries a successor path through Navi IV, whereas the Arc A310E's successor is Battlemage.

A user requiring benchmark-verified graphics performance should select the RX 7600. A user prioritizing minimal power draw, single-slot size, and no external power requirement, with no need for high compute throughput, may consider the Arc A310E. The RX 7600 delivers 7.08x the FP32 throughput and 2.32x the memory bandwidth, and it has a recorded performance baseline; the Arc A310E offers none of these but consumes less than half the power. The choice rests on whether raw performance or system integration constraints take priority, and the data supports the RX 7600 for all performance-oriented use cases.
