AMD Radeon RX 7600M vs Intel Arc A380E x2 Comparison

The Verdict

The database positions these two GPUs in entirely different performance classes. The AMD Radeon RX 7600M holds an 89th percentile ranking across all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 63775 in Geekbench OpenCL. The Intel Arc A380E x2 sits at the 50th percentile, and the database contains no recorded benchmark scores for it, placing its average at zero. The data indicates a decisive performance gap. The RX 7600M is the only one of the two with proven compute capability in the measurements. For any workload requiring substantial graphics throughput, the AMD part is the clear choice based on the recorded data. The Intel card's lack of any benchmark entry means it cannot be positioned as competitive in raw performance. The verdict is straightforward: the RX 7600M delivers measurable performance, while the Arc A380E x2 does not show any recorded compute results to compare.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Radeon RX 7600M wins in every measurable category because it is the only GPU in this comparison with a benchmark score. Its 63775 Geekbench OpenCL result places it above the 89th percentile of all GPUs in the database. The nearest rivals to the RX 7600M include the AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT LP with an average score of 63830 (0.1% higher), the NVIDIA CMP 30HX with 63842 (0.1% higher), the AMD Radeon Pro Vega 56 with 63693 (0.1% lower), and the AMD Radeon Pro WX 9100 with 64212 (0.7% higher). These tight deltas show the RX 7600M competes directly with those desktop and professional cards, despite being a mobile part. The Intel Arc A380E x2 has no benchmark entries, no nearest rivals, and a 50th percentile ranking. That places it in the middle of the database distribution by default, but without any actual score, its performance profile is undefined. In terms of memory capacity, the AMD card carries 8 GB of GDDR6 across a 128-bit bus, while the Intel card has 6 GB of GDDR6 on a 96-bit bus. The AMD memory bandwidth of 256.0 GB/s doubles the Intel's 186.0 GB/s. Those specifications reinforce the AMD advantage in memory-heavy tasks. The Intel card does have a higher base clock at 2000 MHz versus 1500 MHz for AMD, but the AMD boost clock reaches 2410 MHz against Intel's fixed 2000 MHz. The AMD card also offers more shading units (1792 vs 1024), more texture mapping units (112 vs 64), more render output units (64 vs 32), and more ray tracing cores (28 vs 8). Every structural advantage points to AMD.

Architecture Differences

The two GPUs come from different architectural lineages. AMD uses the Navi 33 chip built on RDNA 3.0, with the codename Hotpink Bonefish, part of the Navi Mobile generation within the RX 7000 series. Intel uses the DG2-128 chip built on Xe-HPG, part of the Alchemist generation within Arc 3. Both are manufactured on a 6 nm process at TSMC, but the transistor counts differ substantially. AMD packs 13,300 million transistors into a 204 mm² die, yielding a transistor density of 65.2 million per mm². Intel packs 7,200 million transistors into a 157 mm² die, yielding 45.9 million per mm². The AMD chip is larger in both absolute transistor count and density. The RX 7600M uses a PCIe 4.0 x16 interface, while the Arc A380E x2 uses PCIe 4.0 x8, halving the available bus lanes for the Intel part. The AMD GPU is an integrated graphics package (IGP) with no power connectors and a 90 W TDP. The Intel card is a single-slot add-in board with a 265 mm length, a 6-pin power connector, a 300 W suggested power supply, and a 130 W TDP. The Intel card provides 8x mini-DisplayPort 2.0 outputs, whereas the AMD card's display outputs are portable device dependent, meaning they vary by laptop implementation. Both support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4, so API coverage is equal. The AMD card has a release date of January 2023 and remains in active production. The Intel card released in March 2024 and is already end-of-life, with Battlemage listed as its successor. The AMD predecessor is Polaris Mobile. The Intel predecessor is Xe Graphics.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no direct head-to-head benchmark entries between the AMD Radeon RX 7600M and the Intel Arc A380E x2. The wins counter shows zero for both sides. However, the available data still allows for a comparison through the AMD card's recorded score and the Intel card's absence of one. The AMD card delivers 63775 points in Geekbench OpenCL, which is its only benchmark entry. The Intel card has an empty benchmarks array. That means the Intel card's average benchmark score is zero, and its percentile ranking of 50 appears to be a default placement rather than a measured result. The AMD card's 89th percentile ranking reflects real measured performance. The nearest rival data for the AMD card shows it is within 0.7% of the AMD Radeon Pro WX 9100, which scores 64212. That is a professional workstation GPU, and the mobile RX 7600M nearly matches it. The delta against the AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT LP is just 0.1%, meaning the RX 7600M is effectively tied with a newer desktop card in this benchmark. The NVIDIA CMP 30HX, a mining-oriented card, also sits 0.1% ahead. The AMD Radeon Pro Vega 56 sits 0.1% behind. These tight margins indicate the RX 7600M occupies a competitive performance band. The Intel card has no such reference points. Its nearest rivals list is empty. Without a benchmark score, the Arc A380E x2 cannot be positioned relative to any other GPU in the database. The comparison is therefore one-sided. The AMD card demonstrates strong compute throughput. The Intel card demonstrates nothing in the recorded data, leaving its actual performance as an unknown.

Specification Differences

The two GPUs differ across nearly every specification field. The process node is identical at 6 nm with TSMC as the foundry, but the transistor counts diverge. AMD uses 13,300 million transistors on a 204 mm² die. Intel uses 7,200 million transistors on a 157 mm² die. Transistor density favors AMD at 65.2 million per mm² versus 45.9 million per mm² for Intel. Clock speeds show an interesting split. The Intel card has a higher base clock at 2000 MHz, but the AMD card has a higher boost clock at 2410 MHz. The AMD card also lists a game clock of 2070 MHz, a figure the Intel card does not provide. Memory clocks differ as well, with AMD at 2000 MHz (16 Gbps effective) and Intel at 1937 MHz (15.5 Gbps effective). Memory capacity, bus width, and bandwidth all favor AMD: 8 GB versus 6 GB, 128-bit versus 96-bit, and 256.0 GB/s versus 186.0 GB/s. The compute unit counts strongly favor AMD. Shading units are 1792 versus 1024. TMUs are 112 versus 64. ROPs are 64 versus 32. Ray tracing cores are 28 versus 8. Pixel rate is 154.2 GPixel/s for AMD versus 64.00 GPixel/s for Intel. Texture rate is 269.9 GTexel/s versus 128.0 GTexel/s. FP32 throughput is 17.27 TFLOPS versus 4.096 TFLOPS. FP16 throughput is 34.55 TFLOPS versus 8.192 TFLOPS, with both using a 2:1 ratio. Power draw differs substantially. The AMD card uses 90 W, while the Intel card uses 130 W. The AMD card has no power connectors, while the Intel card requires one 6-pin connector and a 300 W power supply. The bus interface differs as well, with AMD using PCIe 4.0 x16 and Intel using PCIe 4.0 x8. Physical dimensions exist only for the Intel card, measuring 265 mm by 127 mm by 20 mm. The AMD card is an IGP with no listed dimensions. Display outputs are portable device dependent for AMD, while Intel provides 8x mini-DisplayPort 2.0. API support is identical: DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. Production status differs, with AMD active and Intel end-of-life. Release dates differ by over a year, with AMD in January 2023 and Intel in March 2024. The AMD predecessor is Polaris Mobile, while the Intel predecessor is Xe Graphics. The Intel successor is Battlemage, while the AMD successor is not listed. Neither card has a recorded launch MSRP in the database.
