AMD Radeon RX 7600M vs Intel Arc A380E Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains a single recorded benchmark for the AMD Radeon RX 7600M: a Geekbench OpenCL score of 63,775. This places the GPU in the 89th percentile of all GPUs in the database. The Intel Arc A380E has no recorded benchmark scores, so direct numerical comparison relies on the AMD part's standing against its nearest rivals.

Against its nearest rivals, the RX 7600M is effectively tied with the AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT LP, which scores 63,830 (a 0.1% difference in favor of the rival). The NVIDIA CMP 30HX scores 63,842, also 0.1% ahead. The AMD Radeon Pro Vega 56 scores 63,693, which is 0.1% behind the RX 7600M. The AMD Radeon Pro WX 9100 scores 64,212, a 0.7% gap. These deltas are small enough that the RX 7600M sits in a tight performance cluster around the 63,700 to 64,200 range.

For the Arc A380E, the absence of benchmark data means the database cannot generate a head-to-head score comparison. The Intel GPU's 50th percentile ranking, however, indicates it sits in the middle of the database distribution, well below the RX 7600M's 89th percentile. The RX 7600M's compute throughput figures reinforce this gap. Its FP32 performance is 17.27 TFLOPS, while the Arc A380E delivers 4.096 TFLOPS. That is a 4.2x difference in raw shader math. In FP16, the RX 7600M reaches 34.55 TFLOPS versus 8.192 TFLOPS for the Intel part, again a 4.2x gap.

Pixel throughput shows a similar disparity. The RX 7600M renders at 154.2 GPixel/s, while the Arc A380E manages 64.00 GPixel/s. Texture rate is 269.9 GTexel/s for the AMD GPU versus 128.0 GTexel/s for Intel. These figures indicate the RX 7600M has substantially more fillrate headroom in both rasterization and texturing workloads.

Architecture Differences

The RX 7600M uses the Navi 33 chip built on RDNA 3.0 architecture, with the codename Hotpink Bonefish. It belongs to the Navi Mobile (RX 7000M) generation. The Arc A380E uses the DG2-128 chip on Intel's Xe-HPG architecture, from the Alchemist (Arc 3) generation. Both are fabricated by TSMC on a 6 nm process, so the manufacturing node is identical.

Transistor counts differ considerably. The RX 7600M packs 13,300 million transistors on a 204 mm² die, yielding a transistor density of 65.2M per mm². The Arc A380E has 7,200 million transistors on a 157 mm² die, for a density of 45.9M per mm². The AMD chip is both larger and denser, which explains part of its compute advantage.

The RX 7600M uses 1,792 shading units, 112 texture mapping units, and 64 render output units. It has 28 ray tracing cores. The Arc A380E has 1,024 shading units, 64 TMUs, and 32 ROPs, with 8 ray tracing cores. The AMD part has 75% more shaders, 75% more TMUs, double the ROPs, and 3.5x the ray tracing cores. Neither GPU has tensor cores listed in the database.

Clock behavior differs in an interesting way. The RX 7600M has a base clock of 1500 MHz, a boost clock of 2410 MHz, and a game clock of 2070 MHz. The Arc A380E runs at a flat 2000 MHz for both base and boost, with no game clock specified. Despite the higher boost ceiling on the AMD part, the Intel GPU's sustained 2000 MHz base is notably higher than the AMD base of 1500 MHz. This suggests the AMD design relies more on boost headroom.

Memory configurations diverge significantly. The RX 7600M has 8 GB of GDDR6 on a 128-bit bus, with memory clocked at 2000 MHz (16 Gbps effective) for 256.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The Arc A380E has 6 GB of GDDR6 on a 96-bit bus, at 1937 MHz (15.5 Gbps effective), yielding 186.0 GB/s. The AMD part offers 2 GB more capacity and 37.6% more bandwidth.

Both GPUs support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. The bus interface differs: the RX 7600M uses PCIe 4.0 x16, while the Arc A380E uses PCIe 4.0 x8. Power delivery also differs. The RX 7600M carries a 90 W TDP and is listed as an IGP with no power connectors. The Arc A380E has a 75 W TDP, is a single-slot card with no power connectors, and carries a suggested PSU of 250 W.

Where Each One Wins

The RX 7600M wins in raw compute, memory bandwidth, and graphics feature count. Its 4.2x FP32 advantage makes it the stronger choice for general GPU compute tasks, and its 256.0 GB/s memory bandwidth supports higher resolution textures and larger working sets. The 8 GB frame buffer is also larger, which matters for modern game assets and GPU-accelerated rendering. The 28 ray tracing cores give it more headroom in ray-traced workloads than the 8 cores on the Arc A380E.

The Arc A380E has specific structural advantages. Its 75 W TDP is 15 W lower than the RX 7600M, and its flat 2000 MHz clock means predictable sustained performance without relying on boost behavior. The single-slot form factor with 4x DisplayPort 2.0 outputs gives it a clear edge in multi-display configurations. The Intel part is also in a different production status: it is marked end-of-life, with Battlemage listed as its successor, while the RX 7600M remains active.

The Arc A380E's 96-bit memory bus and 6 GB capacity are sufficient for lighter workloads, and its 186.0 GB/s bandwidth supports 1080p gaming at moderate settings. The database's percentile data, however, places the Intel GPU at 50th percentile versus 89th for the AMD part. That gap indicates the Arc A380E is a mid-range product while the RX 7600M sits near the top of the database distribution.

The Verdict

The recorded data shows a clear performance hierarchy. The RX 7600M's Geekbench OpenCL score of 63,775 places it in the 89th percentile, while the Arc A380E has no benchmark score and sits at the 50th percentile. The 4.2x gap in FP32 compute, the 2 GB memory capacity difference, and the 70 GB/s bandwidth advantage all favor AMD.

The Arc A380E's strengths are practical rather than performance-based. Its 75 W TDP, single-slot design, and 4x DisplayPort 2.0 outputs make it suitable for compact multi-display setups where power and space are constrained. Its flat 2000 MHz clock removes boost variability. The end-of-life status and Battlemage successor, though, indicate this is a legacy product.

For workloads that stress compute, memory bandwidth, or ray tracing, the RX 7600M is the clear choice. The 8 GB GDDR6 frame buffer and 256.0 GB/s bandwidth accommodate larger datasets and higher resolution textures. The 28 ray tracing cores provide more headroom for ray-traced effects. The RX 7600M also remains in active production.

The Intel Arc A380E makes sense only where its specific constraints matter: low power draw, single-slot footprint, and multiple DisplayPort outputs. In every measured compute metric, the AMD part leads by a wide margin. The database's percentile ranking confirms this: the RX 7600M sits near the top of all GPUs, while the Arc A380E sits in the middle. Buyers seeking maximum performance from the data should choose the RX 7600M. Buyers needing a low-profile multi-display adapter with modest compute demands could consider the Arc A380E, but the performance gap is substantial.
